Halloween is right around the corner…

Isaac, my 6yo,  still isn’t quite sure what he wants to dress up as this year. He is stuck between being a Mummy or a Football player. I love Halloween, mostly because I love to pass out the goodies and look at all of the children all dressed, smiling and on a sugar high (smile).

Do any of you remember back in the day when you could go Trick-or-Treating and you didn’t have to have your Mom or Dad inspect each piece of candy you got. Heck, I remember being able to eat apples and other fruits from the neighbors house. <> Times sure have changed.

Well – I caught a few sales on some Halloween candy, dusted off our Halloween decorations and we are taking a trip to the pumpkin patch next weekend to pick out a a big pumpkin for the porch. I really want to decorate the house and yard nicely this year to set a nice festive mood.

During my blog travels on the net I ran across this awesome blog –>  babystages and noticed the wonderful Halloween Tshirts and craft ideas that are there.  Be sure to stop by when you get a moment!

Also share with me what your Halloween Plans are.

Five Easy 10-Minute Organizing Tasks For Busy Moms

October 05, 2006 By: Real Life Solutions Category: Blogroll, Children, Freebies, Goals, Healthy Living, Organization, Pamper Yourself, Parenting, Self Esteem, Stress Management, Teenagers, Uncategorized, Working From Home No Comments →

We all know how busy mom’s are and organizing seems like a never-ending task.  Well, if you have just 10 short minutes, here are 5 great organizing tasks you can do in ten minutes or less:

1. Clean out your medicine cabinet. Get rid of old makeup, expired medicine and toiletries you haven’t used in months.

2. Clear off your desk. Take everything off your desk and clear the surface, even if you have to temporarily put everything on the floor in categorized piles (i.e. paper, supplies, electronic media, etc.).  Once you can see your desk, you’ll have a surface on which to begin organizing everything you just removed from it.

3. Delete, delete, delete. For the next 10 minutes, delete as many messages as you can from your email inbox. This includes forwarded jokes, unsolicited messages and email you can simply read and chuck.

4. Organize a drawer. Whether it’s your junk drawer, a drawer in your bedroom dresser or a desk drawer, spend 10 minutes emptying out the junk, and arranging it so that similar items are being stored together.

5. Make a Donation Box. Simply get a large cardboard box and label it ‘Donation Box.’ Every chance you get, place items that are in good condition, but you no longer use, inside the box. When it’s full, call your local charity to come pick it up, or drop it off if they don’t offer a pick-up service.
