The 4th is right around the corner, and with that it usually means BIG family get togethers, great American food, fireworks, and parades!  So I thought it would be a perfect time to share some 4th of July inspiration to my readers.  

This is what I found:

{I did it...and Im a little nervous}

Today very randomly I stumbled onto a site called "The influence Network" its all about community and networking with other women who are Believers, encouraging what God has called you to do, its a place were you can connect with other women and to be equipped and inspired to influence others. 

I joined! 

I want this "blog" be a place were I can influence others for Christ. A place were I can share truth, and Gods word and what He is doing in my life, in my family's life.  


Here is more ABOUT the Influence Network

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/9477637/?claim=wwbhqr9cbk2">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

Porter is 8 months now, before I got pregnant I was working out pretty consistently... but then came the baby fever and now we have Porter and I've let it slack! Its this tummy that is just there, not shrinking like the other parts of my body! 


I'm down to the weight I want to be, thanks to my stairs and three kids... but my stomach...don't even go there!  It's this weird pooch that just follows me wherever I go, specially when Im laying down on my side...it hangs....gross I cant even believe Im sharing this, but its like a little wrinkled Shar-pei that is curled up right me, but its attached!

  So Im finally doing something about this thing!


C'mon its only 10 minutes a day, you can do it too!

Here  is what Im going to try:

{Organization Inspiration}

I am lack organizational skills, and I dont know why....my mom and sister are awesome at it and it comes completely natural to them, but for me its an effort to do.  I feel as I have become a wife and mother to three kids that I also homeschool, and I have my own business I need to become more organized in my home for my days to run more smoothly.  

Mom if you are reading this I know....you have told me this over and over again

So I have searched and searched PINTEREST for some ideas to help me out and I figured I can't be the only one out there that isn't the BEST at organizing, so Im sharing what I have found and will post my before and after pictures as I go through this journey of 
ORGANIZING MY LIFE  

1st I will be starting with my junk drawers in my kitchen 
(I have 4...shhhhh)
It's bad it started with only 1 and then it went to 4 and I cant stand it, I cant find anything! 
or should I say "we" cant find anything!
YES I will take pictures and it wont be pretty
Mom if you are reading this I read something else right now if I were you... SORRY!

HERE IT GOES:





They posted some tips:

  • Empty the contents out onto the table or counter.
  • Wipe the drawer clean, including the crevices and corners of the drawer.
  • Now sort everything….
  • If it doesn’t belong in there, put it where it belongs. If it’s in there BECAUSE it doesn’t have a dedicated place where it belongs, CREATE one for it. This is, in my opinion, the number one cause for messes. If it doesn’t have a home, it will wander. Simple as that.
  • If it’s garbage, throw it away. Be selective in what you keep.
  • Put the remaining items into small boxes or baskets that will fit in your drawer. This is the biggest step you can take to make sure your junk drawer (which you can now call something else, because it doesn’t look so junky anymore) stays neat and organized! I heart boxes! As you can see, the only items I don’t have in a box are the extra notepads for my fridge, my scissors, and my coupon binder.

 Here is another from JRL Woodworking


Kristen has a tutorial on how to build your own utensil divider, which I might do because mine are not divided whatsoever so everything just gets scattered in there

AND last but not least

Monograms and Makeovers posted one as well

BUT she uses these!

They are from Home Good and they were only 5.99 



I hope you join me in this journey!  

I will be posting soon all about MY junk drawers
YIKES!
