Creating Life: Home Organizational Help

My kitchen each night the past couple of weeks.   So nice to wake up to a clean house!

About 4 weeks ago I attended my ward Relief Society Weekday activity/meeting.
The topic was on home organization.
It has completely changed the way I clean and organize my home.
The change has been rather dramatic...not in just the way my home looks everyday but in the way I feel about my work at home. 
A few months before I went to this class I had a type of break down I guess you could say.   I felt so overwhelmed by all that needed to be done in my house and felt so alone in trying to get my home the way I always wanted it to be...clean and orderly.   I started thinking that I would never reach that goal.....I started giving up hope that I could ever be that person who has it together.  I started deciding that I wasn't' meant to be anything like that.   It was hard for me and it weighed on me much of the time.   

So this class I went to last month was an answer to an unspoken prayer.  

Have you ever been to the website My Giveaway Today ?
Haven't we all been there multiple times  lol.
It turns out the brilliant mind behind that website is Emily Cushing and she just happens to be my ward Relief Society President's sister in law.
I didn't really know this until I found out about the class I would be attending....Emily was coming to speak.
I had no idea what  treat I was in for.
Emily is brilliant....absolutely brilliant!
I also feel like the Lord has used her gifts to bless the lives of others.
Emily has a great system that allows you to get your home deep cleaned 4 times a year....the great part is that this isn't hard or extremely time consuming because you do a little bit each week.  Emily also has a great way of getting her whole family involved in Saturday cleaning and everyday surface cleaning.  
I have been using her ideas for over two weeks now and I can't believe the difference it makes in my  home and my attitude.   It has also given me alot more free time to be with my family.   My children are getting better about their responsibilities now that they understand what is expected of them.    I feel sort of like an infomercial...but seriously this has changed things in my life for the better.
I asked Emily if I could share her handouts on my blog.   She said I could.    I love it when women are willing to share what they have learned and created with others...what a blessing!!!!
If you would like a copy of Emily's handouts that give instructions and information please email me at smalladventuresfamily at gmail dot com

Please remember the material is copyright protected....be respectful of Emily's work.

Emily shared a few quotes during her presentation but my favorite was 

"A lazy man makes more work".   

This has stuck in my head and I think about it everytime I am tempted to put off something.  

My rotation list.  Hangs in the hallway by my laundry room.

 My weekly "To Do" list.  Such great satisfaction crossing items off as I finish them!

I have come to realize how true this quote really is!

Thank You Emily for sharing your gift with others

and 

Thank You Sarah for sharing your sister in law with our ward!  :)  
You were inspired to ask her to come!
