Keeping a “Gratitude Journal” doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy. You can use a plain notebook and a pencil. You can start off small. But, the point is to be positive and start thinking about the good things in your life.

3 important mindsets for getting housework done

by Heather Vogler | Jan 8, 2018 | Getting Organized | 0 |

I find sanity in knowing what is expected of me and getting it done. I like having all the checkmarks checked off a list so I can feel like I accomplished something. Then I became a mother.
