I've often thought that if Jamie and I had gone to school together we would have been BFFs and this post on Jesus and being green solidified my feelings.

I believe any stuff I have is actually on loan from God so I need to value it like I value Him. That definitely includes the plot of the planet I occupy. {source Jamie’s Rabbits}

I agree with that 111%.

I’ve mentioned Pinterest before and this is why I love it. I was browsing through pinboards and found:

Foil and cardboard as a lighting set up? I’m all over that.

A little self promotion here but I’m not sure who reads my cooking blog and I wanted to share the Cajun dip recipe I posted earlier in the week.

I reuse all our glass jars but I never thought to spray paint the lids. Phoebe’s look is a lot classier than my jars.

Confession time: I don’t actually like S’mores. They are generally too sweet for me but these S’more cookies from Mangoes and Chutney look too good not to try.

Time Management & Me : A Love/ Hate Relationship

I love the days when my to-do list goes smoothly and my dishes and laundry are done and out of sight. I hate the work that goes into making those happen. Regardless of how I feel it gets done. Time and household management/organization are two areas that my skills are not as honed as I would like them.
I know it is impossible to get everything I want to do crammed into 24 hours but I also know that I am not working as efficiently as I could. So for the next few weeks in conjunction with my 3 in 30 goals I am going to be sharing my journey.

Resources I Will Be Using

I do a lot of blog reading and have found numerous resources on the subjects of time and household management. I have narrowed my focus to three blogs/blog series.

• Home-Ec 101 I’ll be using both the site and the book on the organizational front.
  
• Time Management 101 A blog series written by Crystal from Money Saving Mom with some help by Amy from Blogging with Amy. There is also a free e-book if you want all the info in one spot (which I do!)
  
• I’m an Organizing Junkie The 52 Weeks of Organizing will be my focus here

Next week I’ll be sharing my time budget and my favorite printables

This is my first post back after a year’s absence. I missed blogging here and I am thrilled to be back.
 We’re Debt Free from LifeasMom had me in tears. I am so thankful that I have been redeemed.
A reminder from Amy at The Finer Things in Life that He died for the “little sins” as well as the “big ones”

May you have a blessed weekend filled with the hope and joy that His resurrection brings.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again Luke 24:1-7
