Simplify 101 • one person will receive a spot in the online workshop Organize Your Paper Clutter with Aby Garvey
Paper, paper everywhere! That paper mountain growing on your countertop
represents a loss of freedom, a loss of control, and a nagging feeling
in your gut that something important isn’t getting attended to. Your
paper, and the feelings it creates, makes it hard to relax, focus or
even have fun.
Here’s
the good news: there is a better way! With the right paper organizing
systems in place—those created with you, your paper, and your home in
mind—you can free yourself from paper clutter and the stress that comes
along with it. In Organize Your Paper Clutter, you’ll learn a
step-by-step process on how to decide if you need a piece of paper (and
for how long!) and how to organize it so you’ll find it again right
when you need it! Your piles (and your stress!) will be replaced by
organizing systems you love, and feelings of confidence, relief and
peace of mind!
Start date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
End date: Tuesday, June 9, 2009
Registration status: open!

I loved Katherine Neville's "The Eight" -- read it at least 10 years ago and it still sticks with me!

One of my favorites right now is "All I Need Is Jesus and a Good Pair of Jeans: The Tired Supergirl's Search for Grace" by Susanna Foth Aughtmon. It cheers my spirits immediately!

I know it's a kids book but I love, love, love "Oh, the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss. I love the message and still find it very inspiring today.

My current favorite book is Wicked. Such a great story, it sucked me right in! I can't wait to read Son of a Witch and more by this author.
My all-time favorite book is called Peppermints in the Parlor by Barbara Wallace. My 3rd grade teacher read it to our class, and I have read it every year since. I love it!

I loved "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". Such a sweet, classic story. I also really enjoyed "The Kite Runner". It's hard to pick just one :) Thanks!

I'm just about to start the twilight series again, but am also addicted to True Blood. I'm going to have to see if I can locate this series, too! TFS!

Ok- I have a love affair with books! I will narrow it to 2...
For my growth as a mommy, I LOVE reading and re-reading "A Mother's Heart" by Jean Flemming (settled my spirit and allowed me to embrace my calling as a mom and feel fulfilled!)
To read to my children- "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson illustrated by Tasha Tudor (the poetry is so imaginitive, pictures are endearing and it too has a calming effect on the audience)

My favourite was Plainsong by Kent Haruf - very easy going & simple but completely drew me in. Now that I've read the follow-up Eventide, I really can't decide which is my favourite. I deliberately only read a chapter at a time with Eventide just so I could make it last longer :)

I'm not quite done with it yet, but HANDLE WITH CARE by Jodi Picoult seems to be panning out as my new favorite! I just love her writing style, and how intense her stories are! Plus my best childhood friend has Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is the disease that the main character is battling!
Really, all of Jodi Picoult's books are wonderful!
I love this giveaway! I hope I win! Such cute stuff!!!

Choosing one favorite book is next to impossible for me. I will try to comply by only naming two lol. The first is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, true love all the way baby. The second is Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingells Wilder, I love love love childrens literature. Guess that's the teacher in me, or the kid in me. Either way.
