Making My Home A Haven

I have decided to participate in Courtney's 31-Day Challenge to make my home a haven.

There is no place on Earth I would rather be than my home. I love everything about it. It's cozy, it's inviting, it's full of love and laughter. It is where our children grow and our memories are made. I refer back to Proverbs 24:3-4 often when I think about my role as mommy and wife.



We have recently done some painting and bought new bedroom furniture. This week's challenge for me has to put my house back in order. I have also done a tiny bit of Fall decorating. I may upload some pics soon and share.

Nothing specific, I just thought I would invite you all along for the journey. I would love to know some helpful tips about staying organized with two little ones.

* As a teacher, I struggle daily with the fact that for many of my students, home is not a safe place. I cannot change this fact, but I do pray for them daily and try to make their time with me count. I do my best to not use sarcasm or harsh tones with my students ( they are 8th graders so I fail at this constantly). I am sure that is all some of them hear at home.

  1. Thanks for the neat comment on my blog! I posted today about how to organize hats and gloves. It's such an easy way with lots of little mittens to get lost. It may be something that will work for you.

  2. Thanks so much! I actually found an old hanging shoe organizer this weekend that I could use. It doesn't hang up on the door like yours, but hangs from the rod in the closet. I think it would still work though.

    I'll let you know!!!
