Simply Organize My Life

Organization – not a word that I really like to hear. I mean, I am good at organizing for all kinds of areas, except my home and everyday life where it is most important. I would always refer to it as my ‘organized chaos’ but we all know what that REALLY means….there was no ‘organized’….just chaos.

Peace – that is what we all want. We just want to find some peace in the midst of all of this chaos. Everything is busy, busy, busy with so many things that must be done and places that must be seen and kids that must be taken places. Oh how I long for just a moment of peace.

Could it be that organization might bring about some of that peace that I long for? I do believe this to be true and the reason is that I have found that to be the case. As I am working on bringing true organization and systems into ALL areas of my life, I am finding some peace there.

That is the purpose here – to walk this journey together. As I find tips that will help, I will share them here. There is so much more to peace than just organization, but it is a great place to start!

What if I rip my pants? overpacked suitcase

What if we get invited to a formal event by people that we meet there? (Because that happens EVERY time when traveling with kids!)

What if….?

What if…?

The madness must stop. Life is so much less stressful when following a simple process for planning and packing for travel. I have found that this also makes the trip START even more enjoyable. I have missed so many first days of vacation because I was so stressed about whether or not everything was packed and trying to plan how many checked bags and what would fit where.

Following these 10 simple steps, getting out the door and to my destination has become so much easier and less stressful:
