January’s Website Review: The Happiness Project & My Simpler Life – johanna
December 31st, 2008 | Filed under: THE BOOKSHELF, THE DISH ON PARENTING, THE ORGANIZED HOME
This month’s website review happens to include two websites; The Happiness Project and My Simpler Life.
THE HAPPINESS PROJECT is a memoir written by Gretchen Rubin about her year long adventure as she sets out to test every theory, tip and scientific study on being happier. The website is her daily blog on the subject.
MY SIMPLER LIFE - SIMPLE LIVING
Beth Dargis is a simplicity coach. Her goal is to help teach others how to love life, work hard and have fun, how to stay positive and take time to relax. She helps her clients “uncover what is the most important things for them to be doing.” She coaches those individuals “searching for something more in their life while releasing what they no longer need.” There is no need to become a client in order to become inspired or get tips on time management off of Beth’s website.
Both The Happiness Project and My Simpler Life teach how to step back, breathe and enjoy what we have at the moment. My brother once told me you are who you are now, unless you change who you are today. I have come to realize their is never going to be a better day than today unless I make it so. I find I am happier when I break free of me. When I can step back and think of all the joy around me. It takes time and a lot of practice. I am also trying to laugh more. Something I lost for a while. It is really hard to be angry when I am laughing or singing.
Stay Organized With A To-Go Tote – johanna
October 14th, 2008 | Filed under: THE ORGANIZED HOME
I found this idea as part of my quest for organizing, posted by Calm & Collected Organizing.
“Get things done on the go with a special tote bag dedicated to running errands and staying organized. Attach a hook to the wall near the door that you leave the house from each day. This is where you’ll hang your To-Go Tote each time you come into the house or once you’ve finished using it.
As you go through your day or evening at home and you come across items that you’ll need when running errands later, place them in your To-Go Tote, and you won’t forget them the next time you leave the house. Just be sure to grab the tote each time you head out!
Extra Tip: Keep blank notecards and envelopes in your To-Go Tote. The next time you’re out and waiting for an appointment or to pick up the kids, you can write that thank you note you’ve been meaning to get to!!!”
The local school district is sponsoring a school fundraiser at the local mall. 24 area schools are participating in the event to raise money for their school by decorating tote bags. Our preschool class used their fingerprints to create beautiful butterflies, bees, ladybugs, frogs and flowers. All of the totes will be displayed and then available for auction. I am hoping to snag one to use as my To-Go Tote.
