Moving Smoothly with the Organizing & Paw Paw Bread



Our family is now on the same page with our new way of being organized. I like it because it gives everyone a way to do what needs to be done, without being told by someone else. Makes it more like a group effort instead of a struggle. So I will be writing about this often and making note of any changes that we make with our new system.
I call it de-stressing my life and it feels Good! :)

My husband made 2 small loaves of Paw Paw Bread, I have to tell you it smelled heavenly just before coming out of the oven, but I was so full from dinner, I just didn't have room for even a taste(not to mention I am on board with Bunny Berrys 100 day raw challenge). So I just watch everyone else scarf the bread down. Then this morning my husband starts to visit the bathroom, a lot...4 times before we leave the house....So the moral of this tale is- when using native fruits, use a modest amount in your recipes or prepare for a good cleaning out of your innards :)

Organization


I have been working for several days on a way to organize my life and a system to help me become more consistent at it. Because I homeschool my children and I have plenty of projects to keep me hopping, I needed more help than what even google documents could provide. ( i know, scary huh?!) Something that would allow people in the house to see what needed to be done and would do so without me or Dietrich asking. I will explain that we are using a tool called the Mental Bank, and by doing this we are writing down in a notebook, everything that we do through out our day that we can pay ourselves for. The idea is to see positive energy flow in your life, and in turn change your life to what you would prefer. So on the wall I have different household activities and the Amount of $$ that you get to write down in your mental bank for doing it. Its pretty cool concept and I think it will be fun to see who starts making the big bucks in their mental bank account.

Too often the daily chores of life seem mundane, especially to teenagers, but this way we can see ourselves making choices to earn, instead of just being told what to do or just procrastinating in general. The way I so it is hang a sheet of vinel plasitic on the wall, I then got blank index cards and wrote on them, fold them into a sheet of plastic and then place them on the plastic wall, they hang there with no tape. So I can move them around. Its pretty easy.

I am applying this for my personal life as well as my Business. We are using this in Homeschooling as an experiment in life skills. Why not eh? If it works than we are more organized and productive than ever before, and if it doesn't than I shall move ever forward with my persistence to live my best life possible....

Thank You Universe and All Beings of Light :)
