For almost a year now I have used the Mom's Took Belt Household planner system.  I can't tell you how valuable this tool is!  I use the household planner along with the Prayer time and Bible Study pages. There is also a homeschool binder available once you purchase the LIFETIME membership at a very low price of $15.95.  After December 31st it will go up to $24.95.  I love to be organized and this tool really helps me.

Debra makes it so easy!  She does all the design work.  You just pick out the pages that will work for your home or homeschool.  She even tells you how to get started with step by step instructions on how to make it all come together.  If you long to be organized but just can't seemed to get time to do it, check it out and see if this system will work for you.  I know you won't be disappointed.

You can print of pages and design your book by the seasons of the year or by interests.  There are lots to choose from. Click on the button on the sidebar and go check it out!  Your life will never be the same!

 
Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, MONTHS?  Where you just can't get anything done in the few hours you have after work.  That is how I have been feeling lately.  Too much to get done after dinner each night.  So I took yesterday off work.  Wednesdays are kind of slow at work anyway so I wouldn't really be missed.

What a great day I had!  It went so incredibly fast though!  I kept watching the clock thinking, "only three hours until the kids are home!  I have got to get more done!"  I did get some things done that have been hanging out there for several months.  See, we had done some remodel work down stairs over the summer/fall.  My "office space" was torn apart and most of the paperwork that was on my desk ended up in a box in the laundry space in the basement.  Yesterday I went through about four boxes of "junk".  Well, most of it was junk but there were receipts mixed in that I need for farm expenses.

My office space is almost all put together.  Now I am just trying to convince the Shepherd that I need the Neatdesk to get rid of all this paper!  How wonderful it would be to scan all the receipts and shred the paper!  What a time saver it would be at year end to pull a report of all those receipts that I scanned in!

I titled this post Taking Time Off but it should probably be titled something like Getting Organized.  I wish I had taken pictures of the total disaster and then what I had after spending the day on it.  What a difference a day can make!  If you had a day to take off and get caught up, what would you do?  Leave us a comment and share with us what is weighing on your plate.
