Raising three kids can be crazy enough for any momma, but for a farmers wife life can get extremely hectic even without any kids in the picture. My husband is working extremely long days right now as we are right in the thick of harvest. My kids have very different schedules, J is my 14 year old son who is just wrapping up football season and has already started basketball practices. Ellie is my almost three year old diva who loves spending her days cooking, playing dress up, and "doing school" with mommy. And finally Bean is my precious 5 month old, all smiles, baby girl (her arrival warranted her daddy to leave the tractor and put a halt to the bean planting hence the nickname).
As I'm sure you can imagine raising three munchkins all while helping with the day to day farming operations, including feeding the guys in the field, can get a little hectic. Enter Project Organize Your Entire Life (POYEL for short) when I read Steph's original post at Modern Parents Messy Kids I thought to myself wow... I wish I had it all together like that. (Make sure you check out her original post it is quite the organizers dream) Being organized around here would do wonders for helping me get homeschool done, food delivered to kids and farmers (not Pizza Hut :) , chores done, along with all the running to various extracurriculars. I was totally onboard. Join me as I attempt to organize my entire life as well as share my escapades in parenting, homeschooling, and farm wife's life.
