I hope my site can offer you some encouragement and humor as you set out on the journey of creating organized solutions and systems that work specifically for you and your family. In addition to saving you time, money and sanity, organizing can also be fun, it can be addictive and it is most definitely pleasing to God (1 Cor 14:40).

So by the time students come onto a college campus, they’re often under the impression that punctuation doesn’t matter, or is arbitrary, and makes no sense—sometimes all three.

So if you are struggling, think of: - Your favourite movies - Your favourite books - Your favourite singers & bands (from any decade) - Historical figures e.g. Napoleon - Your favourite TV personality or celebrity - Actors or actresses in the roles they are famous for e.g.
