How My Sock Drawer Helps Me Pray

10/25/2021

 
Guest Blog Post by Heather Bayless
​
​Can I share with you a quirky confession?  ​Of all the areas of my home that need organizing, I am most particular about my sock drawer. ​ For years I have kept everything color coordinated to Pinterest perfection. 
​

​Patterned socks go to the left, work socks in the middle, and tights to the right. It’s my favorite spot to organize. It’s not a drawer I’m about to throw open for my guests to inspect but I’m oddly proud of how well I manage that two feet of space. I don’t pretend to be perfect: my abode is full with uncared for corners and neglected nooks. My dining table is used more for junk mail than communion, and I write this after having eaten 10 York peppermint patties in one sitting. But there is something persistently important to me about this sock drawer.

Keeping seasonal clothes in your closet using the KonMari Method™

It has finally gotten colder here in Houston, and it feels like fall!  Or winter!  The city goes a little crazy when it gets cold… we sometimes forget how to drive… or how to leave the house… ;)
 
Do be aware that Texas can be 80 degrees one day and 40 the next.  It’s a gamble every day to know what to wear!  But I think that just makes life a bit more interesting.

Feel great in your fall sweaters!

10/30/2018

 
Fall is upon us, and with it comes cozy fall sweaters!  

You may also be thinking about fall cleaning and getting your home ready for the holidays...  Feeling overwhelmed?  You are not alone.  

Getting physically organized helps with our mental well-being.  Spending some time organizing can decrease your stress and overwhelm this season.  However, the act of organizing can be very overwhelming, too.  So where to start?  And how to proceed?  Marie Kondo is a Japanese organizer who created The KonMari Method™ in her book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up."  She recommends that you always begin with your clothes.  

Why not start with one small category - your fall sweaters.  You know you're excited to see these old friends!  ;)
