Home Organization Ideas

Image
Well it's been a while since I've been on and since then I've received a new calling.  I'm 2nd counselor in the Relief Society.  I am over the activities and last night we had an activity about home organization.  I love what Marie Ricks has to say about organization, so I based my lesson from her book Project organization.  The following is a Prezi Presentation I put together to help illustrate the concepts I was trying to teach.  If you read the first few chapters of Marie's book it will make more sense, but there are some good ideas without the book. Click this Link  for the Prezi. If you don't want to go through the presentation here are some photos to give you some ideas. This is my baking center. Measuring tools are in this cupboard. Spices are in the corner cupboard on turn tables. Most used on the bottom (I'm rather small in stature) and the less used ones in the middle.  Top are bulk spices I use to refill my containers....

Ward, Neighborhood Progressive Dinner Activity

Image
When we first moved into our neighborhood, I wanted to get to know my neighbors quickly and on a more personal level.  My grandma had a great idea.  She suggested I host a progressive dinner.  I was thrilled with how well it turned out.  I ended up hosting a few myself and then my ward (a local LDS congregation) took it over as a ward activity. Here's how it works. First you send out invitations to everyone in the neighborhood.  The great thing about this activity is it is just a way to get to know everyone, it's not churchy, so invite everyone. This is the invite we used this time. Then you get all the RSVP's back.  Because everyone is so good at RSVPing, we called people, texted people and sent a signup in church to see who was going to be able to make it.  We also asked for people who would be willing to Host the dinner at their home. Then the fun begins.  We printed up everyone's last names on a sheet of paper along with the wor...

LDS Girls Camp Idea, 12 Virgins and oil.

Image
Here's another idea we did at girls camp.  I wanted to teach the girls the concept that little things can make a big difference in your lives.  We decided to teach them about the 10 virgins and how they can be prepared in their own lives as they "collect their oil" and prepare for the bridegroom.  At the beginning of the week we gave each girl a necklace. With this label on it. Just the label We had some droppers filled with "oil"  really colored water and each time they did something to strengthen their spirit they put a drop in.  (Acts of service, prayers, scripture reading, participation in an activity etc.) The girls loved this and they were able to take the necklace home to have a reminder of their oil. Before camp the girls made terra-cotta lamps like the ones they had in Christ's day.  I just got a bag of clay from a pottery supply shop and a local school agreed to fire them for us.  (Make sure you get the p...
