Am I In a Cult?

I think I have found my new calling in life–master declutterer.  Is that even a word?  It is now!  My last blog post detailed the organization system called “Mind Organization for Moms” hereafter and forever referred to as MOM.  This system has been life changing for me as far as getting all that was inContinue reading “Am I In a Cult?”

I'm living in THIS?

We just got done with a fabulous visit from Dave’s parents and brother this past weekend.  I tell everyone I meet that I have the world’s best in-laws–it’s the truth.  But what is it about having company that makes you look around your house and ask, “I’ve been living in THIS?”  I mean, I guessContinue reading “I'm living in THIS?”

The Calm Before the Storm

As I sit here at the computer I was struck by how peaceful I actually feel for a minute.  The house is quiet with only two of the six here, dinner is cooking on the stove, the house is clean (alright–my bed isn’t made and there are a few clothes on the tub but it’sContinue reading “The Calm Before the Storm”

Dare I say: progress?

The back to school craziness is in full swing here at the Morgans.  Here’s the calendar I spent 2 hours figuring out the other night: I was pretty proud of myself for putting that together–I’m just hoping I still have the gumption to do it when October comes around…I cannot tell you the number ofContinue reading “Dare I say: progress?”

Where Did I Put That Kid?

Do you ever feel like you’re losing your mind?  Because most days I feel a little nuts.  Let me explain.  I was over at the school the other day fitting band kids for uniforms and while I can create a super organized system for outfitting 130 marchers I can’t seem to keep track of myContinue reading “Where Did I Put That Kid?”

"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.

It’s been a pretty crazy week at our house as Wednesday we sent Carter off on his mission.  It’s a strange feeling leading up to sending a missionary off–or a college student I suppose.  You feel like the clock is ticking down and you should be making the most of your time left but youContinue reading “"Wipe Out Winco Style" and other morning adventures.”

"All I want is a domesticated raccoon, two river otters and a non-nocturnal owl."

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting my children, I’ll let you in on a little secret:  they’re sort of hilarious.  Seriously–they are way wittier than me which is the Dave Morgan gene in action.  Last night we were discussing the “no pet” policy we have here at the Morgan house.Continue reading “"All I want is a domesticated raccoon, two river otters and a non-nocturnal owl."”

"Keep your wind out of my sails!"

I read a book a while ago that I may or may not have mentioned in a previous post.  (It is well established that I am lazy so even though I could take time to go back and check, I’m not going to.  After all, I’ve probably either scared everyone off or bored them toContinue reading “"Keep your wind out of my sails!"”
