    Very touching memorial. One of our sons is a Captain with North Lake Tahoe Fire Dept. Every year they participate in a stair climb in Sacramento. They put on all of their gear, which weighs a lot, and climb 110 flights to honor the firemen and people that lost their lives. It's very touching. Fire Depts all over do this.

    The memorial visit was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. It's hard to believe that it's been 22 years since that awful day. My granddaughter and I love to make our own pizzas and see what new creations we can come up with! We say all the time it's so much better preparing our own food than eating out! It's never too early to instill these habits in our kids! For me, I have a rule in my house....if I purchase two new items, I have to donate at least two. This way my possessions never get out of control!

    The biggest problem for me is hoarding tendencies, I'm trying to declutter as possible. I have an unhealthy attachment to even reciepts. I'm trying my best to donate to those who can use things and to sell some stuff. Putting a yard sale tomorrow. Paper documents are hard for me though lol

      Hi Emerald,
      I too have the tendency to hold on to STUFF.
      However, since 2018 I have been selling, donating and throwing away stuff.
      My kids are grown. They told me. They don't want it!
      It's going to be a huge burden on them later. So, I am keeping sentimental things that I absolutely LOVE.
      This has been so hard for me. 5 years later. We are actually out of debt. We are VERY careful with our spending. Literally, we have no bills but necessary things.
      If I am in a store. I ask myself, is thing worth trying to find a place for and paying for?
      You can do this! We are all rooting for you.
      God bless you

    Every year I pick up a small 5 x 8" weekly planning calendar from the Dollar Tree. I use it for all date-related things -- appointments, birthdays, tracking health goals, replacing filters, etc. I keep it in a little 3 ring binder of the same size that has my to do lists, shopping lists, meal planning and other short-term notes. I add extra paper to the binder by saving used printer paper that is blank on one side, cutting it in half and punching the three holes. Very simple but works fine for me! Thank you for taking the time to film and share that beautiful memorial.

    Every Friday I use a dry erase marker and write on the front of my fridge what tasks I want to get done over the weekend. Did you know you can use your fridge like a dry erase board? 😃
    I also use it to write notes to the kids, chores lists for them, and they use it instead of scratch paper when doing homework. Sometimes someone just writes a funny joke 😂

    One of the things I do so I don't forget family birthdays--When I get my new planner each year I go through and write in all the birthdays on the month pages and on the weekly pages, then I make a note a week before each birthday to send the card (we are a big family and scattered all around the country). I have a card book with a pocket for each month. I try to choose cards for each person (6 months or a year at a time at the dollar store) and put them in the correct pocket, writing the name of the intended recipient under where the stamp will go on the envelope. I also purchase enough stamps for them all and store those in the card book, too--this year the post office had birthday stamps so those were the ones I bought. Keeping a list of family addresses with the planner or card book makes it super simple to get cards to my loved ones always on time.

    Pizza looks really good! I am a dinosaur, I use a monthly calendar to write down everything that needs to be done and everything else that I do. That system comes in handy if you have to look back to check on something. My kids laugh because I don't use my phone but it's just not the same as writing it down. I even use an old fashioned address book. I love your Friday videos the best. Have a wonderful week end! Oh and thanks for taking us on a little field trip, love your beautiful area.

    I retired two years ago and at that time I started writing down in a planner every cent I spent all month. I must say, in that time I have only gone over my monthly budget twice. Once I was over by .20 cents, the second time by about 100 dollars, and that was because of unexpected repairs! I refer to my budget several times a week and that keeps me on track! I still use the envelope system for a lot of purchases. That system served my parents well 50 years ago, and it still works today!

    One thing I like to do is make a quick compote from all kinds of sweet fruit. I cook it quite quickly just enough to soften it through and make it more flavourful. I don't need to add sugar it's perfect for oatmeal or yoghurt. Since I'm cooking quickly I usually have quite a bit of fruit juice left and I love using that as a mixer for iced teas or a squash

For organizing, cleaning is easy I separate it into days. Monday Weekend cleanup, Tuesday Bathroom Focus, Wednesday Kitchen Focus, and so on.
    Freezer Inventory is a dry erase on the fridge, pantry is paper lists on the inside cabinet. Budget is done on a notebook and Excel spreadsheet.

    Beautiful quilt!! Amazing price. I have my paper calendar on the wall by my desk. I write so much info on it and check it every morning. I also live off index cards. I am a list maker. Tasks to do for the day, appointments, whatever I need to know for that day. I check each off as I complete it. Very fullfilling and I get things done!! When school supplies are on sale I purchase 10 packs of index cards yearly. Also I buy 12 spiral blank paper notebooks. I have a notebook for everything. My garden, gifts and Christmas, long and short term food storage, my pantry, and more. I love having a written record of everything. Keeps me organized. I have a leather bound book that I keep my monthly budget it. Been using it 10 years!! Each month listed each bill, cost, payment date. All extras listed too like AAA, doctors, etc. Been doing all this for so long so it's second nature to me. Fast easy.

    My husband , son and I went to the Oklahoma memorial. It was beautiful, quiet and very respectful. The chairs from the daycare children made you want to hold your children. The fences with pictures, toys, clothes attached to the fences made you cry. It wasn’t big but it took the same space as what was bombed. There was still a portion of the wall. Also a tree that survived that day. Makes you grateful and thankful for our blessings. I have done the notebook for our rent. A notebook with menus, and grocery list plus a list for items I buy at the grocery store with prices. See the ups and downs. I have a wall calendar, planner and notebooks.

    We stay organized by using our phones. We started with a shared calendar so any appointments either of us have are visible to both, after a medical issue several years back. Then after that I started using the notes in my phone, I keep my personal “to do list”, a home project “to do list”, shopping list, lost leader shopping list, meal plan, various notes & a prayer list. Any or all can be printed if we need them in hard copy. Some of these are shared and some not, then we use the free Dave Ramsey budget app on our phones for money and budget. I’m not naturally organized and would loose note books or written list, I’d forget the grocery list and so on. But it’s rare I forget my phone, so it’s been a life saver.

    Lovely memorial. An exhibition of pieces of the North Tower just came to town. Didn't lose anyone close in the attack, a dear friend barely made it out alive, but she made it. But I feel we all lost something that day. I always used a large calendar that my husband printed off for me every year to keep track of the family activities. I'm getting better at using my phone to keep track of things, but I still use a written planner for back-up. keeping track of activities has always helped me plan meals and not waste food and helps me remember appointments so I don't get charged for missed appointments.

    That memorial is beautiful. I know exactly where I was when the first tower was hit. OMG SATELLITE SAUCERS!!!! I have not had those since I was 6! you guys have the best magazine choices. Living in Quebec, they push French magazines and cut back on all the amazing English magazines especial DIY, crafting and decor mags..
    Oh I love that quilt! it looked nautical. My brother would have loved it.
    WHAT? $10 for that set??? never would we get this here never. Great find!
    My parents had minimal stuff. And today its chaos. We pay more in hydro from all the devices that need to charge and be plugged in.
    I definitely need a planner. I am frugal and use my calendar that is 5 years old. I print free calendars each year and stick them over last years. I can flip it up and see the year before what I did. I plan on creating handmade planners. Using junk mail and boxes. I can’t buy one because they are so pricey here and limited in English.
    Excellent pizza! great combos!
    I have to give sourdough another try. I had it for a year and stopped because I didn’t need to make bread or pizza every week anymore. My recipe is a 4-5 hr ordeal. Overnight fridge dough is the easiest I tried. But I need to try your recipe! Whew that was a lot of chatting!

    I use my phone calendar for appointments and have it set to remind me a day ahead and also at least an hour before the appointment. This works really well for me since I live alone and don’t have a lot going on.

    I use a calendar I got for free from the township to track all my money spent each day. No spend days are highlighted in pink. My no spend days are highlighted in green. On my spend days I write down the money spent. I try to have equal number of spend days and no spend days each month. I have a small calendar I got from the dollar store to put any doctor appointments/ social events and work schedule that I keep in my purse.

    That pizza looked soooo good! I like that thin, crisp crust. I use my phone for contact info, appointment, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and encrypted passwords. I use the Notes app on my phone to keep track of To-Dos lists, grocery lists, bill payments, recipes, etc. I can access my bank account and pay bills from my phone. Anything I might otherwise write down is in one place. I can access it anywhere, anytime, since my phone is always with me. It backs up frequently in case I lose/misplace my phone. My phone is really the only computer I need (although I have a laptop and an iPad). I could even watch TV or TH-cam on it if I didn’t have other devices. I keep chargers in several rooms in my house and in my cars. I can track my keys and/or my phone with the tile app.

    Love the Tuesday shorts, they help me make it to Fridays full length videos. My mon didn't have anything written down but some how always knew every ones appointments and plans. She also knew what was in the pantry and freezer. How she did it Ill never know. I have to have it written down, so I use a monthly calendar. I am jealous of your new quilt, it is exactly what I have been looking for. Enjoy

    I am a huge fan of planners. I have weekly menu planner sheets I keep in a large black clip in the kitchen. It also has a space to write ingredients I need to use up, new ideas for recipes, etc. On days where I just don't know what I want to fix, I can go back to the same date as last year and know what I fixed then to see if it's something I want to fix. It also keeps me from repeating recipes too often. I usually keep about 15 months of menus in that clamp and then weed them out come the new year. I keep a garden planner and journal. It's the only way I can keep track of when I plant, what I plant, when to fertilize, when to water. The schedule helps me maintain my veggie garden and it works beautifully. I also keep a large calendar on the wall in my kitchen to keep track of appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, pet meds, etc. I really enjoyed your video. I also enjoyed seeing how you were able to buy the quilt/comforter. It is beautiful!

    I write down birthdays and appointments down on paper, and on the calendar! I also think it’s good to write out a monthly budget on paper. I also like your short videos on Tuesdays and the full length one on Fridays!!

    Another great video! My husband and I use Google calendar that we can access from our laptops or our phones. We put all of our appointments and things to do on there and set reminders that come in as emails or notifications. If its REALLY important that we don't forget something, then a simple paper note on the kitchen counter or a sticky note on the fridge always helps!

    ugh, I remember the horror of Window Shopping as a kid. it would be what mom wanted us to do to waste time walking up and down a mall for hours on end till our feet hurt so much and we didn't buy anything, just to waste time while Dad was working and soon to get out or was at a doctor's appointment. Really seriously HATE window shopping.

    I use a pocket calendar. I keep it with me all the time. When home, I leave it on the kitchen table. When I'm out, I keep it in my pocket. That way, when I need to make an appointment, I can easily see what time is available. For example, when I finish a doctor's appointment, it's easy to make the next appointment while I'm there. I have my calendar in my pocket. When I'm at home and calling to make appointments, I usually sit at the kitchen table, so I have my calendar right there. This works well for me.

  • @Heyrizzo

    I cross organize- i use the calendar on my phone for appointments and tv shows i want to watch, mainly because i like using the reminder features and alerts. And all my family’s appointments go on the calendar on the fridge so we all know what’s going with each other schedules.

    Im not that organized as I should...probably...but I do have a calendar and in it I write everything down. It is relaxing reading the week through befor bedtime and then I know, and can sleep in peace. What is not written there, doesnt exist...simple as that...and I save nerves 🤪
    I have an app in my phone where I can write down things I must remember to fill in my calendar when I get home...and last but not least...my notebook...so important to have by the bed...it is in the bed all thoughts are coming, all ideas all must-do's...I write them down...and I can sleep good, knowing I took care of it...

    I used to own homes
    I used to run doctor's offices so I had to be very organized.
    Now since we both had medical issues and had to retire and lost our home, I suck at everything lately 😏
    I try
    I just really fail these day's.
    But you encourage me and I will continue trying.

    We have a large desk calendar at our computer area which is near our house phone. I have a personal planner, 8” x 11” planner for all of my appointments, menu planning, to-do lists, etc. and an additional 8” x 11” planner for our BnB business, where I keep detailed information about guest reservations. It may seem like extra work having 3 planner/calendars but we need space for a lot of information. And it is helpful for us both to know where the information is with easy access. We may be retired but we have 2 part time businesses going, plus church, family, medical appointments, social events. I would be lost without my planners! Thanks for being such encouragers.

    I use my calendar on my phone to plug birthdays and appointments in. I use a spiral notebook for everything that I need to do daily. I even add the recipes that I am going to make so that I don't have to pull out a cookbook and find it or fight keeping a book open or looking up the video. I can also go. back and use that as reference later on. I include canning times and things like that if I am canning something. I then use another spiral to jot down all prayer requests, dreams, bible study notes and things of this nature, so that I can keep track of that as well.
