Kids helping others - World Vision 40 hour famine

I am really proud to let you all know that my 3 kids have decided to participate in this years "World Vision 40 Hour Famine". This is a wonderful opportunity for them to do something that can have amazing far reaching benefits to Children throughout the world in need.

I would love it if you all supported them by sponsoring their efforts in this years "World Vision 40 Hour Famine". Here are their sponsorship web pages where you can go and make a pledge to help them raise funds.

How to Get an Organised Family - Guest Blogger Angela Esnouf

First off, let me assure you, we are not perfect.  There are plenty of things we could improve on, like tidiness.  Check out The Difference between Tidy and Organised for insight.

But I am pleased so say we are pretty organised.  And it does come as a surprise to me to see my grown children have picked up my habits along the way.  They seem to have absorbed it without me even noticing.  So here’s how to get an organised family.

1. Be an organised role model
2. Set up processes and systems that cut down on effort, space, time and money
3. Show them the processes and systems
4. Don’t nag.  Instead, demonstrate the benefits of being organised
5. Be truly amazed when 20 years later they demonstrate what they’ve learned
