Hi, ladies! Do you have cupboards in your kitchen that can barely close? Do you need to put on a hard hat before opening certain closets? Do you purchase a new role of duct tape because you just can't find the one you purchased last month, or the last month, or the month before that? Do you have cake mixes in your pantry that you purchased during the pregnancy of your child who is getting baptized next month? Well...if so, you are not alone! I personally have all these organizational issues...(and a lot more, but I digress). For me, the problem with organizing is that it is such a daunting task, I just never take the first step. I just cram stuff in the closet and walk away hoping no one opens it unsuspectingly and gets a concussion.
I would like to start an organization accountability group on Facebook called "Baby Steps to Being Organized or I Will Get My Stuff Together Eventually, I Am Not in a Rush." The group would work like this...each Monday, I will give the group a small (read: super manageable) task, like organizing a shelf in the bathroom or drawer in a desk. Each member of the group would have one week to complete that task and then report back to the group that they have completed it. Sharing things you learned while completing the task would earn you extra bonus points and virtual smiley-face stickers, of course.
If you are interested in being a part of this group, please comment on the blog post or on Facebook and I will add you to the group. Thanks, everyone!
Come join with friends for an adults-only fire pit gathering at the pavilion at the home of John & Sue Brown, 15 Hammock Court, Defiance MO 63341. It's Saturday, October 22, 2016, starting at 7:00 p.m. 
Have you been meaning to beef up your food storage but haven't found the time? Are wondering how to start storing food on a budget? Do you want to learn how to use the wheat, dry beans, and oats that you have stored so your family will eat them? Come to a food storage workshop!
So, many of you may have heard about our MO River Ward Fall Festival which will be taking the place of our trunk-or-treat this year. We hope it will be fun for families, kids, teens, AND grown ups--we are trying to offer something for everyone.
Have you ever wondered how to take the raw wheat in all those #10 cans and turn them into something yummy to eat? Well, wonder no more! Kae Remund will be teaching a class on how to use wheat to make bread that is both delicious AND nutritious! (Isn't it great that those words rhyme?) Please join us for this hour-long class.
