Organize your life, and make it easier!

It’s 8:00a.m.,dishes still in the sink from dinner last night, bottles unwashed, laundry piled up, toys scattered across the floor. *sigh* The overwhelming feeling stress pours over me. Why does it seem like I can never catch up unless it’s Saturday? – If I’m lucky.

In the past I have had amazing track record of being unbelievably unorganized. To clarify, I know how to organize, but it takes about three days before things are out of place again. My excuse has always been, “I’m just too busy! I don’t have time to keep organized. I need to get in and out the door.” I will state that I often bite off more than I can chew which could play a large role in this issue. Being unorganized sometimes causes me to be late for appointments which is a huge problem.  In the big scheme of things, being unorganized has caused even more stress than I was already experiencing because of my busy life.

Luckily, I have an amazing boy-friend who is extremely neat and organized by nature. My habits drive him nuts, to say the least. J He does a lot around the house, but usually works a 60-hour work week.

Recently, I have made a commitment to change my ways. I am determined to break this horrible habit and not only find ways how to organize, but find ways to STAY organized. They say it takes 21 days to break a habit. Only time will tell if I am able to break mine.

I found this awesome video about how to organize different parts of your home. She is amazing! And, needs to come to my house ASAP.

My First Blog Post


Hello!

My name is Kaitlynn and this is my first blog post. During this semester I am hoping to take this opportunity to talk about being a new mother who is always on the go. Being a new mom can be difficult enough, and when you add college and working into the mix it can be even more hectic.

I hope to be able to reach out to other moms in similar situations for suggestions, advice, commentary, and information about being a mom and doing it all.

Here is the link to my blog:  Go-Getter Mommy
