Freezer Cooking and Getting Organized for the Holidays
Yesterday’s post pictures seemed to imply that my house was immaculate and that I was freely crafting in Clean House Bliss, so the above pic shows the True State of the Living Room. Why, yes, that IS moses basket perched precariously on the couch. 
Am I the only one that’s freaking out about being ready for the holidays?!
There was more progress made on the deck this weekend. We’ll have a break from construction projects next weekend and hopefully have the upstairs bathroom redone the week after that. If this baby comes early, I’m totally screwed.
On the upside, the spouse-unit’s cousin arrived and is doing great with Spice. They’re outside rocking the sandbox every day, which means more time for me to work on things around the house, guilt-free!
Last week, I was zoned in on more organizing topics, with a nod towards fall and decorating, so here goes…
- Freezer Cooking Recipes You Can Count On // Jessica over at Life As Mom posted a great list of freezer cooking recipes. While they’re a little too meaty for the spouse-unit, she also has some helpful links on how to get started freezer cooking, something I’ve been meaning to research.
- 12 Reasons to Unclutter Your Space // Badly named – it’s more like “3 Reasons and 12 Ways to Unclutter Your Space”, but the content and advice is easy and excellent. I like the tip to re-org the fridge contents when you put new stuff in; it’s really kept our fridge tidier. Found via Unclutterer.
- Fall Projects for Your Home, Yard, Body & Mind // A really nice combination of organizational and personal development checklist for the fall, from Simple Mom.
- Creating a mail center in your home // Another good post from Unclutterer. We recently cleared out our previous mail hub and have ordered a more streamlined deskspace for our mail/bills sorting. I’m hoping the decreased table space and the built-in filing cabinet and processing cubbies will help it stay more organized.
