Simply Monday (?????)

So earlier in the year I started Simple Monday as part of my simplifying strategy, has it worked? I've fallen behind in all my plans to organize my home and my life. Do I have an excuse? Not really, I just start to many projects before finishing the last one :) I'm hoping to use the next few weeks to finish some of the things I started this summer and I'm going to do them one at a time!!! Today though I will be doing- Carpool, t-shirt dyeing at Cub Scouts, Orthodontist Appt for Dallin, Sewing a quilt together for Relief Society (it was supposed to be done last Wednesday), Cleaning the kitchen, catch up on laundry, planning camping trip for next weekend, soccer practice, and FHE. So I guess I will start the other projects tomorrow......

Simply Monday- Back to School (Clothes)

Well, it's time to start thinking of back to school issues :( I love summer and am not looking forward to school starting. The kids on the other hand are already talking about who their teachers could be and which friends will end up in their classes. All the back to school advertising has also inspired me to get started on making our morning SIMPLE. The first thing that I have to work on is helping Lauren with her wardrobe issues. She is always asking me to help her pick out clothes but never wants to wear what I pick. This is my new strategy- I bought a low hanging clothes hanger for her closet which will have outfits sorted for easy choices in the mornings. She prefers to wear skirts so I have them sorted with matching shirts and all her knit shorts and leggings stay in one drawer so she can easily choose what to wear under the skirt. It has worked well this summer and I'm hoping for the same results as school starts ;)
