It's a blog reading day.....
So I had a awful night where I got no sleep (wow it's quiet at 4 am) and then was woken up early (ummm 7:30am, thanks Mom) by a phone call. So I thought today would be a good "research" day. So I spent some time doing a little blogroll reading. What you may ask is that? Well I go to some of the blogs I like to read and check out their blog rolls, the list of people they read. Sometimes I find the best things there so I thought I would show you a few of them today.
I tend to try and follow the FlyLady method for cleaning and organizing but ran acrossed this post from I'm a organizing junkie about How to get organized? Follow these PROCESS steps…. They are very sound and her PROCESS makes a lot of sense.
SimpleMom has a great article on Decorating:Using your skin that is part of her decorating while using your 5 senses as a guide. The entire series is really good. She also writes a great post about Home Management Logs and gives some building blocks for them. Her posts remind me of FlyLady in a more modified way, but a lot of the terms are the same. Her take on it is similar to what I have been trying to do so I can't wait to go back and read the whole series on it. She linked to D*I*Y Planners who have a large list of planner pages and setup info, think Franklin Covey but free and printed on your printer.
I also found a kick ass tutorial on making some cool bags on Kerri Made that I am so going to have to try...infact I am thinking they would make great gifts for my bridesmaids. I have a whole year to make 4 for them and 1 for me!
Also a interesting post on Is Recession Preparing a New Breed of Survivalist? has a good list of things to put in your emergency kit.
Want to take a class at MIT? You can now take webclasses from them at no charge. It is part of their Open Courseware Program. Only catch is you don't get college credit for it.
So what webites & blogs do you turn to for some fun stuff? Let me know in the comments so I can check them out too!
