We made it through January! I sometimes find it helpful for me to see what posts and resources we have used over the past little bit and to see what other people have been looking for as well. Here is a quick round-up of just those things from our blog this past month.

This year has been busy already and I’ve been on a mission to get a little more organized… I really NEED the organization and simplified routines that we had before. I spent a little time and revamped my planning sheets for our Home Binder so I thought I’d share them with you.

You can check out these older posts for some ideas of upcoming holidays to celebrate.
