About Me and My Family

Welcome to the...About My Family page!

I'd like to give you a bit of background on why I am someone who can help you organize your home and family as well as why it is important to develop an organized home and family life.

I am a mother of two, have a wonderful best friend as a husband and have been a high school teacher for the past 10 years. Now I'm enjoying doing some freelance writing in the area of family and home organization.

As a mother with a fairly organized personality, I love finding ways to make life run more smoothly for my family. I also like to teach my family how to do things for themselves. This sometimes involves trying to find storage solutions that suit them or new ways of doing things so that young children can be involved.

As a teacher I am used to setting programs, creating activities for a wide range of age groups and motivating young people to do things they originally didn't want to do.

Both areas have given me a great head start in learning how to organize my family and home. I am still on this learning curve though and in a way this site is a record of what I have found and what others have shared with me.

Why I Started This Site

Since having my children I stay home a lot more. I quickly realised that organizing my home and family well is not necessarily the easiest thing to do. What struck me was that there is not a lot of quality guidance on the internet to get organized and make your home and family run smoother and stress free!

There is some great info on how to clean your house and what to use as storage but nothing that draws your family together. By the time my children are teenagers I still want to know who they are!

What I began looking for was:

√ Reliable advice from organized parents

√ Practical organizational tips and ideas that I could actually use

√ Tools that would help me step by step develop the organized home and family that I wanted

All of this I want to offer you here at OrganizeOurFamily.com

Another reason for developing this site would be to be able to support my husbands income with a business I can work at from home. It has given me something exciting to work on while the children sleep! If you would like to read more about what I have to stay about organizing your self as a Work-At-Home-Mom then click here.

Why Others Should Get Organized

After getting started in home organization I have found that

- my husband enjoys coming home from work more,

- I shout at the kids less and

- we enjoy our times together more!

- My House is easier to clean

- I can find the things I'm looking for quickly

Mainly because I'm not stressed about all the things that need to be done at home rather than enjoying the precious moments with my family!

Sound familiar?

This is why I have put the site Organize Our Home together. I want to share the home organization tips that have worked for me so that other families can enjoy being a family.

Many families today are so busy and stressed and almost live separate lives. Learning to be organized helps create time to do the things you feel are important as a family. Getting organized also helps reduce the number of stressful, frustrating days where you feel exhausted but have nothing to show for it.

So get started today and get organized in each area of your home and family. Work on one organization area at a time and don't begin a new one until you are happy with the results. Remember, there is no rush because even the journey of learning to get organized as a family can be valuable if you take your time and have fun with it!

I will regularly add new information to this site so be sure to Subscribe to the RSS feed button on the left hand side to get the latest organization tools and ideas. If you are a parent who has your own great organizational ideas to share about your home or family then I'd love to hear from you on the CONTACT ME page! I am sure your experience would be invaluable.

You can also subscribe this site's online magazine called FAMILY MATTERS. Every month will focus on a different area of organizing our home and family. You will also receive a FREE downloadable e-book as an extra resource for the topic area we are covering. The subscription form is at the bottom of this page.

Have a wonderful time getting organized in your home and family as I am having with my family!
