If this is your first time here, basically I keep this blog for organizing sites, and ideas that I want to do in the future. I lose papers, they make messes, my favorites is a mess, and I feel more organized when I can come back to my blog, and find things. Where do I find the links? Google searches, MDC posts, recommendations.

Oh! And I just put this new design up last night, and the above "links" dont link anywhere, someday, someday.

New School Feel

Don't you love the excitement a new school year brings? I loved it as a kid, and I love it now as a happy Mama! We will be jumping into Kindergarten and Preschool this year, with my daughter, my son, and the boy I babysit.

My head is spinning though! There is so much organization, I am doing this for three months, then Ill take December to plan for the next 3 months. Sounds good to me, we shall see how great I do. I need to make a complete school list, for items for the kids, and items/organization for me! Organizing this, is so hard for me. I am not an organized thinker by start, so it's work for me to even think of how I *may* organize, and I usually find that its not the best way.

I'm going to start collecting things here in posts, I do plan to fix this blog up, and the design, its all wacky right now. I was going to design, btu I am so busy with paying customers, and planning that I dont think I will have the time. Id like to organize this whole place better, maybe in the future, til then... this is my sounding board and organizational haven sincem y favorites folder is a mess.
