For years I have searched for ideas on how to be more organized and to be a better homemaker. I have tried many different programs (Flylady, etc.), printed lots of different organizational charts and lists, and more. So far, none of the ideas have worked for me.
Now I didn’t say that those programs can’t or don’t work, I said they don’t work for me. I have been looking for years for someone to tell me what I should do to be more organized. The problem is that no one has the answers for me. What I have to do is change my attitude and try to look at homemaking from a biblical perspective. I want to share a scripture with you. If you follow this then I guarantee you that you will be the best homemaker, wife, mother, father, employee, etc. The verse is plain, simple and to the point.
1 Corinthians 10:31b “…whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
Now, on to the pictures. Last night my not-so-subtle husband (one of his most endearing yet frustrating qualities) suggested that I work on cleaning the basement. He said that if it flooded that I would be upset if anything got ruined. Translation: I am sick of stepping over toys to get to the family room. So, this morning I tackled the basement toy room and was victorious.

Repurposed Bookshelves-This area in the toy room started as 2 old bookshelves I purchased at a yard sale several years ago. My husband cut off the unsteady bottoms of both. I painted them and we hung them on the wall side-by-side. Then we attached clothesline under the bookshelves so that the dress-up clothes could be hung up. It has been a great space saver and has been well used over the years.
