"Five Starr Organizing" meeting was a blast!

Did you enjoy our speaker, Julie Starr, as much as I did? On Oct. 11, we had the privilege of hearing professional organization skills that we could do! Organizing for the Holidays. Before that meeting, I didn't even know I was supposed to organize for the holidays! I was assured that buying my Christmas gifts on clearance in January for the next year was an OK thing to do, but want to start using some of her other tips. My favorite idea was organizing my busy calendar with "Have To", "Want To" and "Don't Want To" do lists. Simplify. Ahhh.....

Come on out for our next MOPS meeting, October 25th, when Irene Ragan teaches us about our finances and family budgeting. It's titled, "Counting Stars: Family Finances." It should be great! We also have the folks from Focal Point coming on November 8th for "Shooting Stars: Preserving Memories"--a great craft is planned for that morning as well! Stay tuned for more information!
