Thoughtful Friday ~ Organization

“The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.” ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Food for thought as I contemplate my 347th post on the file crate system. ;) 

Speaking of said post, it will be just a few more days before it's ready. I'm heading out for a "college girlfriends" weekend in Newport - leaving my boys in their Daddy's capable hands (assisted by Nana and Papa of course). I've never done something like this so as much as I'm looking forward to the getaway I'm a little skittish about leaving my brood. If you're so inclined, would you please say a little prayer for their well-being - and my peace of mind, lol? :)

All this to say, I have the file folder post about halfway done but I won't finish it before I leave and I don't want to rush it. I will try my best to have it up by this coming Tuesday - Wednesday at the latest. That quotation does have a point though - sometimes I get so caught up in setting this system up I lose sight of the end goal - keeping my family, home and homeschool running on all cylinders. All the pretty folders in the world won't make a whit of difference if they're not making life more manageable - and enjoyable - for us all. 

So thanks for your patience, yet again. I'll be back again here very soon. In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend - looks to be lovely up here in New England - sunny and warm. Perfect for picture taking!
