New Giveaway Alert!

My first giveaway from Over the Top Aprons was such a success, I wanted to team up with another member from my social network and offer another giveaway to my readers.

Beth, from Create Your Traditions, is offering a lucky reader a Life Planner.
I am familiar with the Once Upon a Family products and loooove them. I have started many traditions with my family including using their dinner conversation starters, the Family Fun Box and more, by using their products. They offer quality products with a purpose. And, I have been using the Life Planner long before Beth and I teamed up for the giveaway.

As those that know me well know I am a planner. Proverbs 15:22 reminds us

that it takes careful planning for things to go right.

. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly strive to stay open to the Holy Spirit’s direction for my life and family but also know that to live with purpose you need to live ON PURPOSE. And the life planner helps with that.
This is not a planner for your day to day soccer practice and orthodontist appointments. This is a way to document your priorities and make sure that you are keeping on track through the daily goings on in your family.

The first page invites you to write down what’s really important. This is something my hubby and I sit down and fill out together on our anniversary every year (yes, I am sentimental). The whole book has categories perfect for keeping a busy family on track to live out their love for each other in congruence with their priorities.

I am showing pictures of mine that is worn and stays in my purse and is written on. But, one of you lucky readers will win a brand new one by participating in this giveaway.

To be entered to win My Life Planner leave a comment on this post about your priorities as a family.

*follow my blog or subscribe in a reader (if you already do leave me a comment letting me know that)
*follow me on Twitter @multitaskingme

Best of luck. The winner will be chosen by random.org (no more of this paper clipping stuff) on Sunday February 27. BTW- I take crappy pictures in case anyone was unaware

National Get Organized Week

Sometimes, even as an organizing professional, I can get off track. Life happens and you feel overwhelmed, depressed and zapped of energy and motivation (wait, that’s a whole other post . Anyway, if you find yourself slipping back into old habits and encountering clutter and chaos whereever you go- it is time to re-focus!
This simply means to remember where you were headed. What is your passion? What are your dreams? What do you enjoy?
Then figure out what happened to get you off track- this is something you probably already know and fix it. You may not be able to change your circumstances but you can change your outlook. If your organizing plan is falling apart than make a new plan for getting back on track. Identify what’s holding you back and tell that circumstance to get out of your way! Proverbs 15:22 says- “It takes careful planning for things to go right”.
Give yourself time to wish, dream and visualize and then stop day dreaming and actively step up to change your situation. Just because you may have started to slide into old habits of laziness or apathy does not mean you need to stay there. And I am telling myself this today just as much as sharing my wisdom with you.
Blessings!!
