She watches over the affairs of her household
   and does not eat the bread of idleness. 

So this year I have a goal of seeing our family's routine go from sketchy to wonderful!
Its not that we have to be boring about it or stick to our routine and system like its law. But a good household routine and system for getting the things that need to be done in place helps make the rest of life more enjoyable.

I've been reading Large Family Logistics.
And its given me some really great tips and ideas! So Iv been trying to implement some new routines and home management techniques to keep things running smoothly around here. So far, the house is looking better then ever, I feel less stressed and the children are doing well with there routines also!
I highly recommend the book, even if you only have one child.

Another tool Iv found that I just love is Money Saving Mom's Daily Docket. Love it!!! You can customize the PDF file to fit your life and it has really helped me out big time!!

Too long, so much!

Wow has it really been since Thanksgiving that I updated here!!!

I really would love to have daily or at least weekly updates, but alas; homeschooling, caring for our home, and little Mr John Roy are much more important then the blog! Not that I wouldn't love to write and participate in all the neat blog carnivals and such. Have to keep the priorities straight though.

Here are a few pics that Iv been meaning to post though:
