Some Chore File Info

I know few of you were curious about my chore card/files system that I started. So here is the info, along with pictures to show my box.

First I went through each room in the house and wrote down what needed to be done in that room.

I went through that list and decided what needed to be done daily, weekly, and seasonally. 

I wrote each task down on a colored 3x5 inch card. The chore is written in big letters on one side. The other side has info that goes with that chore.
Yellow cards for daily: laundry, dishes etc.
Blue for weekly: dusting, scrubbing etc.
White for seasonally: sorting through shoes/clothes, seasonal cleaning etc.
Pink for personal : doc appt, workouts etc.

Next I made dividers for my box. I made one for each day, Monday to Sunday. One for weekly, seasonal and personal.


Next I divided up my daily cards. I made a set of cards for each day. It says the same things on each set but this way they can just stay in the day file. My weekly cards are in the weekly file. Every Sunday I will divide the weeklies up into the day files. I never will have to do a certain job on a certain day. It mixes up the of monotony of housework.

This is my is chore cards system. I hope it might help some of you!

Bad attitudes. Do I have one when ask to help serve my family, my church, my community? Do I grumble and complain because I think my God given talents and gifts are better used elsewhere?

I have been studying the book of Nehemiah with my mom's ladies group at her church and this verse keeps coming back to me from Nehemiah 3 where Nehemiah talks about the beginnings of rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. He is talking about how each person did their job, fixing what was in fixing of them, how they all worked together, despite of job, job title, and class. All except the nobles of Tekoa.  "5 The next section was repaired by the men of Tekoa, but their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors." Even in the days of the Old Testament, there was always someone who thought they were too good to do hard work. They had bad attitudes about what the...

New Beginnings and Finding My Place

So this year, I have been making a lot of changes in my own body, mind, and spirit. I have started changing my lifestyle where my health is concerned. I need to lose weight. Simply put. It is not something that I would like to do, it has become a need to do. I battled postpartum depression for over a year, I was on medication for it but it seemed like all that was happening was that I was having to up my dosage of it. It was helping but I was not feeling better about myself, my role at a wife and as a mother. There was something missing still. In February, I started out all on my own by cutting out mindless snacking at night. That is all I did. I lost 5 lbs in 3 wks from that alone. In March I started exercising everyday for a minimum of 20 mins. More weight and inches came off. In April, i changed my eating habits. More weight and inches gone. However, something still felt like it was missing. I did not have any external support. Adam did the best that he could but he was only one...
