Breaking away from the day to day
Summer adds a whole new challenge to my “to-do” list personality. Life is in a bit of a disarray in the summer since we kind of just “fly by the seat of our pants” without the rigorous schedule of school life. How do I try and stay organized? With a Summertime Planner of course! I know…
As you know, I’m a huge planner. I am not your easy, breezy, go-with-the-flow kinda gal. I need to know what is going on, when and how at all times! That’s why lists are a big part of who I am. I know I’m not the only one who makes a shopping list. It’s the…
Living in South Florida, we are smack in the middle of hurricane zones. Every year we wait on the edge of our seats praying that the season will be a slow one and no major storms will wipe our cities clean. With this frequent threat of storms on our area, we take for granted the…

I hate mornings! The stress, the rush, the MADNESS! Ugh! I wish I could have an “I Dream of Jeanne” moment, nod my head, blink my eyes and “poof” everyone is dressed, fed and ready to go. Until I can make that happen, here’s what I do to stay sane in the mornings. Planning ahead…
I am a LOVER of lists! I have lists for everything. I get great satisfaction in crossing off items on my lists. Then I have a mental problem…I re-write the list so it’s neat again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not obsessive when it comes to the neatness of my house (after all, I have…
Here we go again…panic, fear, frustration, and chaos! No, not giant aliens soaring down from the skies…it’s hurricane season!
