I realize this is a blog dedicated to my "research"; however, I felt this need for change and balance I am craving -and so desperately need- falls into the research category given that I was inspired by all my "research" (exuberant amount of time lily-padding from one blog to another- via my new addiction Pinterest).... On my impromptu run in the humid 90+ degree weather (note- probably won't be inspired to run in the middle of a hot muggy day again) I was praying for change-specifically balance- and I realized all of my coveting order and Monica-OCD organizing tips and tricks that I have been scouring Pinterest and other mommy-bloggers for has not been in vain. My aha-ha moment of inspiration... If I create a little order each day (like day 1- junk drawers... not the entire kitchen overhaul-in-one-day-leaving-me-defeated-and-overwhelmed kind of order, but small manageable tasks that will give me little feelings of accomplishment each day without wanting to quit), just maybe I will find creating order on the outside will bring me some inner peace and balance in my role as the SAHM (still feel like that title doesn't do justice to the actual role) and domestic head of household. My intention for even posting this is that I will have accountability, and maybe one day I can look back and see the journey of creating order from the outside in...
My goals: Day 1- Organize Freezer (and maybe the fridge... if I have the gusto in between errands, tutoring, and Jayme's nap-time)
Day 2- Tackle spice cabinet (which is really a shelved version of a junk drawer)
Day 3-... maybe I ought to see how days 1 & 2 go first ;-)
So how did day 1 & 2 go?? And where are we now 5 months later??
