I need help. I feel like I'm always working, always moving, and always behind. It's exhausting really.Ms. Hoole says that, "An ideal homemaker plans a program or a schedule for each day so that she is the master, rather than the victim, of her work."And since, as I stated earlier, I am increasingly falling victim to my work I have chosen scheduling to be my first topic to tackle in my revised experiment. In her book "Project Organization" Marie Ricks says that "A well-used calendar is an ... View the Post
$5 Friday—A Valentine Skirt

A Whole New Line Up
Move over Mrs. Hoole, I've got a whole new line up! (And it's stunning if I do say so myself.)Things are about to change with my Homemaking experiment. (Recently I realized that my experiment was too small but too unfocused...too broad but too narrow...too much information but not enough information...) What am I talking about?Can't tell.Yet.I've been stewing over the change for several weeks now and I almost have all the rules set.Almost.Monday morning all will be revealed.Until then I am ...
