So simple isn't in the title of this book, but this book is still great if you want to get some pointers on simplifying your time. 

It's a short nice read that helps you start thinking about what you really want to do with your time. Having goals and focusing on them is the best way to ensure the most important stuff gets done. 

Plus it had some great tips from making goals, planning schedules, and more.   

Keep It Simple For The Busy Woman

This has been my favorite simpleness book that I have read so far. It's like a simpleness devotional. It is roughly divided into 12 months worth of devotionals on living life more simply.  

With specific suggestions, stories, and ways to enjoy life, this book is wonderful. Things like, splurge and take a friend to the theater. Bring some flowers in from outside. Take some time today to do something fun. And so on. 

I know that I came away from this book feeling encouraged and refreshed.  

Home Made Simple Review

I first saw this book in a discount bookstore. I skimmed through it and took note of the title, but didn’t get it.

I wasn’t sure if it was worth the money I would be spending. Was I wrong.

I later went online and got this book from Amazon, It was worth every penny. From home organization to decorating this book was a wonderful resource for living more simply. Each chapter covered a different area of your home. Cleaning, meals, gift ideas, decorating, gardening, and so forth.

I enjoyed it so much. It also got me to thinking about organizing my cleaning schedule. I had been haphazardly cleaning before, but after reading the book I started doing a cleaning day every Monday. It helped me take charge of my chores instead of letting them control me.

This is a perfect book for anyone who is wanting to get some fresh ideas for how to make their home a simple inviting place to be.

Or if you want to read up on some fun ideas right now, head over to the website Home Made Simple.

When Life's Not Working: 7 Simple Choices For A Better Tomorrow

Where Did My Simple Life Go?

Maybe not out loud, but I have been wondering this lately.

In the midst of classes, volunteering, deadlines, cleaning, trips, and the craziness of life, where is this simple life that I long for?

Yet even as I write these words, I'm reminded of the fact that simpleness doesn't have anything to do with my to-do list or calender. It has to do with what's getting done.

One simpleness book asked it's readers to look what got done over the last week. That was a good indication of what was most important to you. You'll get that stuff done. Even if you say that baking cookies for the family is more important than writing the book, if the book get's written, but the baking sheets go unused, you have just proved which was more of a priority.

So what was important to me this week? What actually got done? Some time spent with family, quilting with my sister, a lot of editing, two days of volunteering, and a visit with a friend. Even with all the crazy, I'm thankful  for all the wonderful moments that this week has contained.

God's working out so many wonderful and amazing things in my life. I may having some growing pains, but I know the end result will be worth it. And that is a simple truth that I can carry around with me as I go about my crazy, busy, wonderful, amazing day.

How have you found simple lessons in the midst of your crazy life?
