The Beginning

Every since I could remember I have been messy.  I remember my mother telling me to clean up my room numerous times, I remember having things everywhere on my side of the dorm room, and friends helping me organize my room in my first apartment.  So it has been a part of me for a long time.  I think that it went to another level after I had my daughter.  I was a college student who just finished all of their classes and I had just had a baby.  I first went from my apartment to my mom's house and back to an apartment of my own.  Being a new mom is hard, being a new mom and doing a full time internship for student teaching is another thing.  I feel that the snowball grew from then.  I got a job shortly after graduation and moved again.  This time with my stuff and the stuff for the baby and through the years I have accumulated LOTS of stuff.  Time has passed and I have been able to maintain, was roommates with a friend, had my mother move in and out, and got married.  Now I am in a home that I am now responsible for solely. And I have never been more overwhelmed about me being messy in my life.  It might be because now I have 3 messy people in my house.  One who is probably messy because that is what she has always seen and needs the concepts herself to have a clean and organized space and the other who is just as messy as myself.  This blog is my experience from Chaos to order in my home.  

A year ago I was in a women's group that read a book called A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George.  WONDERFUL BOOK!  This book helped me to grow from the independent woman I was and help me to understand the strong mother and wife I want to be.  Right now I am re-reading Chapter 15: A Heart That Creates Order from Chaos.  And that is what I am doing.  Between reading this book, prayer, and a blog called A Slob Comes Clean.  I am blogging my journey from Chaos to Order.  I look forward to sharing with you my journey as well my success stories.
