Little Mrs. Martha

I am relatively new to blogging and I have just had so much fun stumbling onto the most interesting blogs. I am finding it very informative, motivational, and encouraging. There are so many smart, witty, creative people out there and I want them all to be my friend. There are many people out there like me and there are lots out there I'd like to emulate...at least some of their characteristics. I am really finding enjoyment right now in the "homemaking" category. There are so many blogs out there where people are so darn organized! I am going to go for it. I am setting a goal to get more organized so it doesn't seem like I am constantly running myself ragged. To start, I am going to create weekly lunch and dinner menus. This is something that I have been wanting to do for sometime now but manage to put it off. I just hate picking a meat out of the freezer to thaw and then rack my brain all day over what to do with it. Plus, I hope this will help at the grocery store too. SO.......that is my first step to getting organized. Next, I want to start to declutter again. I am pretty good about not holding on to things we don't use but it tends to build up from time to time. I am also going to work on my cleaning routine so I will not be stuck all weekend doing a weeks worth of cleaning. Chloe's room really needs organizing. All those games and toys really need some help. What I lack is drawer space. When I lived in Germany we had these really nice deep drawers in the kitchen , bedroom, and bathroom and they held so much stuff in such an organized fashion. The Europeans really have a knack for utilizing storage space. I am feeling a run to IKEA coming on. I love IKEA!!! Anyway, I found some really good blogs and I want to share all the great sites with other people that may stumble across my blog. I will be organizing them in categories on the side bar. Enjoy!

Don't knock Martha......she's got it going on!
