Let's Start Planning!

[@debbieskitchen2]

i bought my self a shelf stand for Christmas from me to me. Once I get it put it together I plan on putting it up in one of my closets I use for storage and try and organize better. My son told me Mom you should drink more water and less soda lol. He drinks mostly just water. I am going to get Salvation Army to come pick up some things that I have been putting in boxes throughout last year. I just got to get it organized for them to pick up. I am decluttering too.

I love to organize and plan! I put it in full force for 2025. I love to donate! I also love to shop for needs and some wants at the thrift store. I am heavily into reduce, reuse and recycle. I've heard a lot of chatter online about preparing for the worst. I agree!

Hooray!

I'm seeing this on the 4th and I am doing really well so far. The Lord started me on this new season in life back in November so I have sort of a head start. I love the idea of putting the meals on a planner! I am going to start doing that thank you for the great idea!

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

That's great! You are so very welcome!

I like to used a small spiraled notebook throughout the year to keep track of grocery list, to do list, banking, reminder notes and dates, and anything in general that I need to jot down, maybe even reciepes. I also like books and paper. I gusee we're from the "old school" days.

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

Definitely old school!

Yes, cleaning can be overwhelming. When I was younger I would deep clean every room in one day. I'm not younger now and I clean one room at a time each day. I like to be organized but I am not as much of a clean freak as I once was. Most people don't believe that about me but I use to be much more over the top with cleaning. I'm more relaxed now. I definitely keep a clean home and everything in it's place but I realize I don't want to spend as much time as I once did cleaning. I have been decluttering lately. My husband having a stroke has changed everything in our life. I would appreciate your prayers still, Gina. You are such a dear sweet lady and I love your videos.

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

Me too! Sometimes I still try to do it all at once and definitely regret it.

I have used a planner since I was in college :) It is so helpful for me - to remember what I have to do! In 1995 I started adding a little journal entry every day (when my children were little) and began saving them each year. Sometimes I look back at them. I do love when I get my new one each year. 🧡 💗 💛 💙 🖤

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

So sweet, Susan!

I love stationery, this time of year is my downfall. Doing a to-do list helps me avoid getting library fines and reminds me of bills. Bless my sister in law introducing me to this method

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

I think tasks are less overwhelming when I write them down and cross them off when done!

[@MyLittleRealities]

Just found you and subscribed! I just posted a video on this very topic lol how I want to be better. Better organized. I want to keep up with "get it done" things. Have better routines and habits in place. I cant wait to see how your planner and your plans work out for you! Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing more. Have a lovely rest of your day!

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

Welcome! Very nice to meet you.

I decided to do a really good cleaning last weekend to prepare for the new year. I went a little overboard and had to spend today in emergency. No more doing it all at once anymore. I wound up with 2 of my vertebrae pinching a nerve. So you're right, a little at a time😊

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

Oh no! I hope you are feeling better!

[@Ninjamod76]

I’m such a procrastinator…. I’ve been better about some things…. Like meal prep recently but I need to be better about not letting house work pile up. It’s hard with a family of 5

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

I completely understand! We were once a family of 6 and I remember those busy busy days!

[@deborahcincotta6931]

YOU HAVE HARD WATER AND IT BUILDS UP IN THE MACHINE

[@Ninjamod76]

Could you do a video of you making dog food? (Maybe you have and I’ve missed it🤷🏼‍♀️) I would love to see how you do it. Oh and this is Kristin76 BTW…. Whenever I comment it uses my handle for some reason now and not my screen name

[@SimplyHeartandHome]

Kristin, I will try to make a dog food video soon! ❤️
