The kind that started at 3 AM with a sick kiddo, the kind that found some sort of ants on steroids looking bugs infesting the playroom, a broken glass, and a bad report from the veterinarian. It was the kind of day that left me feeling very out of control. <br /><br />So I decided that I would do something to feel like I gained that control back - set up some organized systems for our lives (focusing especially on summer...it's right around the corner!). So starting next week I will be sharing what I learned and came up with. Here is the plan:<br /><br />Monday- Our completed command center<br />Tuesday- Our summer essentials basket<br />Wednesday- Stocking a natural first aid kit<br />Thursday- Organizing the car part 1<br />Friday- Organizing the car part 2 (packing for a road trip)<br /><br />Here is a little preview of a new tool I have that has made a huge difference:<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/107426678343012043575/DelightfulOrganization?authkey=Gv1sRgCIDzvvrA7eCVlAE#5600670054336852322'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUfDL9wnei1xXeHvD-CohNYwC_CZArqZ4jTC17BcKd9zeuvBoVVD1OmVmDuTgL-rJSVYSulWX3IC6u0dVe-_2wORtzUz9i6MeKcvKi4d1hpA4_izc5l1E-sFTHhfulTupbwXkJxynRj4Cr/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='250' height='250' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=537490&cmSource=Search">via</a><br /><br />I hope you'll join me next week as we get organized for summer!<br /><br />Anyone else have a way to deal when they feel out of control?

For today mine looks like this:<br /><br />Morning Routine<br />Computer Work<br />Norwex Work (more about this later!)<br />Molly Playtime<br />Tot School<br />Molly Outdoor Time<br />Teach at Dance Studio<br />Molly Dentist<br />Meal Plan<br />Evening Routine<br /><br />Step 2:<br />Assign a time value to each task.<br /><br />Morning Routine - 30<br />Computer Work - 60<br />Norwex Work (more about this later!) - 30<br />Molly Playtime - 60<br />Tot School - 30<br />Molly Outdoor Time - 60<br />Teach at Dance Studio - 180<br />Molly Dentist - 90<br />Weekly Cleaning Task - 30<br />Meal Plan - 30<br />Evening Routine - 30<br /><br />My total time here adds up to 10.5 hours.<br /><br />Step 3:<br />Now that you have done this for one particular day, you can make a more generalized daily format.<br /><br />Morning Routine - 30<br />Computer Work - 60<br />Norwex Work (more about this later!) - 30<br />Molly Playtime - 60<br />Tot School - 30<br />Molly Outdoor Time - 60<br />Time Outside the Home - 180<br />(For me this includes: teaching at dance studio, doing Norwex parties, taking yoga, etc...)<br />Errands - 90<br />Household Management - 60<br />(This includes all household bills, budgeting, meal planning, deep cleaning, organizing)<br />Evening Routine - 30<br /><br />One of the things I enjoy about this way of scheduling is that it gives me structure without a schedule!<br /><br />How do you manage your daily tasks?<br /><br />-Griffin<br />Griffin Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362383748897497504noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177154726584881576.post-18229552451600204852011-02-25T14:22:00.001-08:002011-02-25T14:22:50.397-08:00It's a Rainy Day!It is cold and rainy outside so we are cozy and hunkered down in the playroom.<br /><br />I have had some time to shop online and found the most awesome iPhone case!<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/107426678343012043575/DelightfulOrganization?authkey=Gv1sRgCIDzvvrA7eCVlAE#5577756215938191122'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIamXKt-qy1-x2u7tVV7MKXux3tUem_i_4axPQ0uoUoQa1DITPt_MXay-HGEgc18bm27TWc2R4Jy6vUS2FsONKYWiIx4CmRJdf2RJB5O8U81z4snwoJaJiCKlGqcG1AORBETbG4LzjUHg/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />All of their designs are so unique and so functional!!<br /><br />Get one of your own <a target="_blank" href="http://www.techcandycases.com/collections/frontpage/products/barcelona-case-set">HERE</a>.<br />-Griffin<br />Griffin Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362383748897497504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177154726584881576.post-81103598126591181112011-02-23T14:22:00.001-08:002011-02-24T12:40:19.154-08:00Organizing an Event: The BinderWhen organizing an event, there are lots of details! And to keep track of all of those details you are going to need a place to keep them - the ever-helpful binder!<br /><br />For this project, I am using a 1 inch binder with 8 category tabs:<br /><br />1.) Guest list and RSVP<br /><br />This is fairly self-explanatory. I create a spreadsheet with guests, number in their family, date invitation sent, and RSVP.<br /><br />2.) Station and Supply List<br /><br />I like to organize my parties into stations. I create a list of all the stations and all the supplies I will need for each one. I try to be as detailed as possible with this list - include tables, chairs, linens, cutlery, paper goods, etc.<br /><br />3.) Food and Recipes<br /><br />Here is where I create food shopping lists broken down by store (usually Costco, grocery store, and specialty store). I print or copy and recipes I will use and place them here.<br /><br />4.) Party Inspiration<br /><br />This is wear I place magazine clippings or blog posts that have inspired any part of this event. It really helps to have them close by through the planning process.<br /><br />5.) DIY Projects and Tutorials<br /><br />Anything I will be making goes in this section. Instructions and pictures too please!<br /><br />6.) Orders and Receipts<br /><br />I keep a party budget tracker, order confirmations, and receipts in this section. If you are working with any vendors - make sure you place all contracts here as well.<br /><br />7.) Decor<br /><br />This is where I create a party layout. Knowing where things are going to be in advance is a great time saver and stress reliever the day of your event!<br /><br />8.) Checklists and To-Dos<br /><br />This is where I keep track of all tasks relating to the party. If your party is going to be somewhere other than your home, be sure to include a checklist of what needs to be transported to the event.<br /><br />Depending on your event's size and theme you may need more or less tabs. This may seem like a detailed system but I promise it will be worth it!<br /><br />Here are the colors for Molly's first birthday extravaganza!<br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/107426678343012043575/DelightfulOrganization?authkey=Gv1sRgCIDzvvrA7eCVlAE#5577358695923788322'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CY9RszJ29adKMJlXAyTZi1tYb9cDrpP0kcL4KRMsLJd4a-hr795yPq6eQnH46bZhf2ZcCbQYtspjQl08qkdxL0pJh4gdKBTrMzV9da7-6-HS2fIaFj3tw06glwFNVtdHd9BrNX6GBdzv/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='225' height='225' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/107426678343012043575/DelightfulOrganization?authkey=Gv1sRgCIDzvvrA7eCVlAE#5577358705285550642'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiySzAuSDdLDC-A4ovzUZHhYRVxEGeZjqtuwV6Tu2YjZOr8mV-h1qbFah0_ZlqquBwgwd1KrG7FG-4TCObb7WVs-wtQPpQ2rv0O7QoYwIFIil0KLg3Z_T2j2yzmj0HiV-HHlXhzsYdq__dt/s288/1.jpg' border='0' width='259' height='194' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />-Griffin<br />Griffin Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362383748897497504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177154726584881576.post-60470365334419774342011-02-23T07:05:00.001-08:002011-02-23T07:51:49.266-08:00Organizing An EventHappy Wednesday! I have lots of projects to catch you up on...the garage, the Crazy Sexy Cleanse (can you say intense!) but I am going to start a new series today - Organizing an Event. The event I am organizing right now is my daughter's first birthday, but this system will work for a dinner party or a large wedding!<br /><br />The first event I planned was my junior prom, some years ago. I have planning and organizing events ever since and honing a system that works for me! I hope you will follow along with me as we organize and plan an event!<br /><br />To get started you will need a few basic supplies:<br /><br />A three-ring binder<br />Paper<br />Page dividers<br />Pens<br /><br />Here is my cover!<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/107426678343012043575/DelightfulOrganization?authkey=Gv1sRgCIDzvvrA7eCVlAE#5576913279055008466'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCSGeGXy2StV97Q2MP4EfbVI3Gcrgw9u2edLa7T01esXxbXRaydteTtXm6gtgFsuCogG8BmgpMKwEFsG7yq8W4_4aIKbE20Yu5GldM_4iHMWGilWr117tZOdqPhydp7qcnJ7zk1A3Nz7d/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Tomorrow I will show you how I set up my binder!<br /><br /> Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Griffin Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362383748897497504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177154726584881576.post-24984797331806506522011-02-06T11:07:00.000-08:002011-02-06T11:29:46.512-08:00Organizing Your Health - Part 1<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hi everyone! Long time no talk. Things have been rather crazy around here. I have been dealing with some health issues that have creeped up on me lately. When I was pregnant with my daughter - I was diagnosed as hypothyroid. After I delivered, I was feeling awful all the time. Conventional medicine wasn't helping so I sought the help of a naturopathic physician - the best decision I have ever made. Turns out that I wasn't hypothyroid - I actually have autoimmune thyroid disorder, which means my body is attacking my thyroid constantly and I switch between hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. I had this under control for awhile but over the holidays I let my health slide. I was forced to take some time to evaluate things and here I am getting back on track!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 203px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMoMl2Om2yFZoIWlnagQ6WzJ7wBhv4g8o1yIuctrxNvUCxGELlZJVRBVfhnhN9SzfPKTtPa1ZkQ3Zg1Pj_GTu-jhFm3_K18hQ9z9qa4K0cUqEUJEmH8J78_vlzupnF1vA5y9fUA1joBh6/s320/images.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570658002537176466" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>It seems like all over the blogosphere I have read posts about the book, "Crazy Sexy Diet."

I suddenly have a new need for keepsakes and less time to keep track of them! All of my mementos of us as a couple are actually creatively scrapbooked or repurposed into decor! The picture below is all ticket stubs and travel information laid into a monogram "M". I wish I could say I still had the energy to maintain that, but it just isn't my focus or the season in my life right now!<div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq-Jxd1H4Hn00OE2q8K3GMf3ejS9HuseHlDzL-GNQm1JDU3urNvfTCEc8rBIJVO2UcRadmAxQdZb8S_AQ9mJb_VPpW4MAWqhKtwSIgBgN3s6qWh9tAFzgzn9qNlPpX7rSs6hxdkXDm11nX/s320/monogram.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564845088873474178" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>So here is my plan in the meantime. I first read about this idea <a href="http://kellicrowe.typepad.com/kellicrowe/2010/12/kid-craft-time-capsule.html">HERE</a>. I created this from a jar I already had (score!) and scrapbook letters. This time capsule will be a dumping ground for all keepsakes and mementos in 2011. On New Year's Eve we will go through it, reminisce, and then put it on the shelf. A new one will be made for 2012. I am sure my system will expand once there are art projects, school reports, and love notes to add!!</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38ShM7jjwhm5OR8abvYzytpDTMTKwDTmRCfEvI5GynBgRFXo1ZW3pJY3ad143UawEsqDHy31Oz5IUXrx31oWJbmcN-SF6thwrqP_kKHhVvUAHi2dr_6kfvRp1tYPEmmL4JZdvnZUVSBbE/s320/time+capsule.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564845093987702306" /></div><div>This post is being linked to <a href="http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/2011/01/day-18-getting-organized-challenge.html">A bowl full of lemons</a>.</div></div>Griffin Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02362383748897497504noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177154726584881576.post-2445051092327028102011-01-20T19:02:00.000-08:002011-01-20T19:19:18.716-08:00Day #17 - Mail!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>So this is a little out of order...but I got it done today so I wanted to post about it. I added a mail station to my linen closet. I put it together using supplies I had on hand already. I used a scrapbooking tool carryall as my outgoing mail supply corral (envelopes, pens, stamps, cards, labels, etc...) I had a file box out in the garage so I decided to use it here - I am not loving the yellow labels, but I had them so for now they are going to work!
