Erika shared a little story from "Feathers from My Nest" (~Beth Moore) about carpooling. Hopefully Erika will be joining us soon in posting some of her thoughts on the blog. If you don't have that book, check it out. My mom got one for my sisters and I on mothers day last year and it is a sweet book. I know Erika has recommended it before too.
Peggy Hoeker was our guest speaker this week. She gave us some great tips on controlling clutter and organization. I absolutely LOVED that she sang to us. I am very much a "domestic by birth" woman as well, and I really enjoyed listening to her ideas.
I definitely want to start cleaning up my desk...as I type I am looking at 2 piles of papers, a stack of cds, about 15 misc cords, a watch, some sunglasses, sunscreen(?) and about 50 other tiny little things. (Maybe, if I get brave, I will post a before and after picture!) We tend to pile the mail right in front of the keyboard (in an effort to make sure we put it away) well, it doesn't work. Because when the pile gets to high to type, we just move it to the chair! And sit on it! Don't laugh...I am serious! We are animals...I might as well share a picture now that I have admitted that little piece of information.
Okay...so after loading my laundry basket, (which is my cleaning and organizing tool of choice) it is looking so much better. Now I just need to sort through it. I guess I had better sort through the one I filled a few weeks ago that is sitting next to my bed with a blanket sitting over it so it looks pretty. *gasp*
Wow, so much better! Now for the best part of this post....I am still in my bathrobe. Nope, I have not showered, dressed, or gotten ready for the day by any means, other than drinking my coffee! How is this for being real?!*edit...I told my poor husband about the post and he is so embaressed! Thank goodness, it doesn't seem that many people are reading the blog so far! ;)*

Thanks for the update, Bethany. I was so sad to miss it. Loved your desk pictures. I work at my kitchen table, so the junk moves to the kitchen counter, the chair, the floor -- and when someone's coming over - the drawer! Oops! :)
