I was over reading I’m an Organizing Junkies blog and came a crossed a post about getting rid of cook books. At first I was like why do that what if you need them or you need that one recipe out of it that you want to cook tomorrow night but as I read on it made total sense. I too like her get most of my recipes off of the internet. But I do get recipes out of my cookbooks also so I had a decision to make. I decided first that this was something that needed tackled.
So, I counted how many cookbooks I had. 1…2…3….4….ummmm. Ok I have 18 cook books and honestly how many do I actually use. So I started going through and seeing which ones I used. Ok got down to 10 but then I knew I could go a step or two further. I wanted to get rid of at least half the cookbooks I have. I decided that I would find a couple that I only like one or two recipes. And I wrote those recipes down and put them in my recipe box and I did it I got down to just 8 cookbooks.
Have you ever looked at your cookbooks? How many do you have? How many do you actually use? Or are you like me and don’t really use any of them but get most of your recipes off the internet?
Monday Motivation
February 9, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Getting Motivated is sometimes very hard for me. Sometimes I don’t feel like pulling myself out of bed much less being motivated. But here the lat few days I have really started to become motivated. I am getting much more done around the house. And with being motivated I have so much more energy.
Take Saturday for example. I started out my day not know what to do with myself and ended my day getting tons done. I had been telling Haylee to clean her room for over a week now. She always told me it was done but it never was. So I went in yesterday and clean sweeped her room and rearranged it. Boy did it feel good to have all of that done and it looks a 100 times better. We had a little discussion on picking up her room and she now knows that if I have to go in and pick up her room at night everything I find that is not put away will be in the trash. Needless to say the last two nights we have gone to bed her room has been completely clean.
