School Paper Organization
September 1, 2010
Well, we have been "Back to School" for almost a month now.
I don't like school! (SHHH! Don't tell the kids!)
I don't like school because it takes my kids away! I miss them when they are gone. Okay, I know they have to go to learn. And that's what makes me feel better. This year all my kids have the best teachers and it has brought me comfort knowing they are well loved and taken care of.
For the past few years I have put all the important school papers in my "School Binder". Each year I take the old out, file what I want to keep and start over for the next year. I would put their school papers like their weekly "Newsletter", spelling words, etc... in an envelope I had made for the side of the fridge. This year I think I 'm going to do something different. It may not work and I'll go back to my old way.
I'm going to put all of the weekly school papers, permission slips, book orders, etc.. on a clip board. I will hang it up in the office where it is easy to reach for all of us... except the baby, of course! The fridge was starting to look a little cluttered. I like things nice and neat, so we'll see how this goes!

If you have any "Back to School" tips, please send them to me. I will add them to the readers tip page and Back to School section. Since I haven't had internet in awhile, the the site's server was hacked I haven't been able to add tips. Hopefully soon I can do that for you!

"Let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a quiet and gentle sprirt, which is precious in the sight of God."
1 Peter 3:4 -
"An excellent wife,who can find? Her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 ~~
I am a stay-at-home-mom(SAHM) married to the love of my life, Jeff Nelson. We have five wonderful boys. Ryan(13), Seth(11), Ian(8), Noah(5), Luke(4), and Jack (born April 2010). We live in Tennessee on 4 acres. I grew up the first few years of my life on a dairy farm in Missouri and loved country living. I was saved at a young age by the grace of God and shed blood of Jesus during that time of simple country living. That part of my life is very dear to me. God taught me many things as a baby Christian that I can still think about today. Then we moved to Memphis when I was in the 5th grade. I learned to love the city life, too. It was a completely different way of life. My whole family still lives in Missouri, still does a little farming and simple country living. When Jeff, the kids, and I moved from the city to the country, I incorporated my city life with my country background. My mom laughs at me when I cut my grass on my John Deere tractor while drinking my Starbucks Mocha and wearing my fancy sunglasses. And when I am shampooing my carpet in my high-heeled black boots. I just love those boots! But I would love to share about how I got to be the way I am today, The Victoriously Organized Woman! I used to work as a supervisor at bank for years. I had to dress up everyday. After the birth of our second child we decide I should be a SAHM. One of the best decision I've ever made. But I made a bad decision, too. I hardly ever dressed up anymore. I hardly ever wore make-up. After about a year I looked in the mirror and said, "OH MY! Jeff has to come home to this!?!" He is so wonderful he said he liked me that way, "natural". Well , I realized that I didn't. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt disorganized, tired and stressed and a little "rough" looking. I felt I just couldn't get it all done. At this time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I wasn't able to do certains things. Like mop the floor of my completely hardwood floor home that I was obsessed about keeping clean. The doctor told me I couldn't have salt, caffeine, or stress! "What?! Are you kidding!?" So , then I decided to change my routine,thought pattern, and cooking. I began to get up early, shower and dress, put on make up. Always being ready to leave whenever I needed to. I established routines that helped me eliminate extra cleaning and stresses. I was able to make more time for myself and make more time for my family. And the family had more time for each other. I made more time for God and others. This made me feel better about myself. I am so happy about how this changed my life I want to share it with everyone.
