Making My Home Sing With Home Management

Making your home sing Mondays


Although I think my home is kept neat and tidy, it is a struggle to keep up with all of the home maintenance tasks. It is beyond my scope of homemaking to keep up with the over and above tasks such as dusting the blinds, keeping the top of the refrigerator wiped down, treating the drains etc. Not to underestimate the importance of these tasks, it's just that I don't think of them on a consistent basis.

I recently came across a great site: Home Wizard Personal Assistant which is a place to make it easier to manage your home. There is a wealth of information including some of these topics:

Recommended Schedules
Free Personalized Reminders
Maintenance Library
Energy Savings Tips
Safety
My favorite is the recommended schedules where you simply check the various features of your home and it pulls up a recommended monthly maintenance checklist for you to do to keep your home running smoothly and efficiently. Since lists help keep me focused and productive, I"m looking forward to making my home sing by doing a little better with home maintenance!

    Thank you so much for dropping by my blog and leaving an encouraging comment. The return trip was beneficial, I found a list-making woman after my own heart. While I was reading a few of your blogs, I was thinking about the need to dust the top of my fridge....

    I tend to let a lot of that little stuff go sometimes. I have lots of things on my list and yet I ignore that list in favor of doing the bigger things.

    I will have to check this out, I love lists! Thanks for linking up!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
