I love reading Lysa's blog and was reluctant to post anything. I must admit, I am not the most organized person around. I am typically chasing my tail. 
I have two organizational tips though.1. Find yourself a very organized, creative, mentor friend. I have one, her name is Marybeth Whalen.
2. We have a family meeting every other Saturday in the kitchen, all around the table. I have four children, so I ask them to tell me two dinners that is their favorite. I write down my menu's for two weeks on this chalk board. After we plan the meals, I go to the store and purchase all the supplies. If it is written, then I usually cook it. Well, until someone wants to give me the night off and then I don't mind leaving the menu board behind. My husband and children love being able to see what we are having each night and get excited when we are having their favorite.

I love both of those ideas! An organizing friend to be a mentor and menu planning with the whole family. I am just starting to get into the menu planning for the week. Thanks for sharing.
I love the meal time idea. We used to do this and then I got out of the habit.. I think it's time to star it again. It really does help.
We also have family meetings. It's just a great way to keep lines of communication open!
