The last two weeks have been so unordinary and I couldn't find piece of mind to make a decent post, I have even missed last weeks A Beautiful Life Friday. To make a long story short here in Serbia we have a virus epidemic. First my son got it now it is my turn. I must tell you I never felt this sick, this one is more than a seasonal flue, this one gets you down. So I sincerely hope you can find forgiveness for being a bad blogger.
Today is another A Beautiful Life Friday hosted by Melissa @ The Inspired Room and which I don't want to miss. My goal for the month of February is organizing and I already mentioned that I need to use planners and calenders in order to bring some organization into my life. This is a must for me!
Another thing that is helping me is something that is still in progress but eventually it will be a huge contribution to my organized living. I bet you all have heard about the Fly Lady and her genius simple technique so there is no need to explain to much.
A year ago or so as I was reading every single word on her site I decided to make a control journal. A binder with all the necessary information, all in one place.
I fund that the menu planning section is the most precious to me, because it seams that I never know what to cook. Nightmare for me! So I made a huge list of meals as an idea which helps me to decide on the next weeks menu.
I have also simplified my breakfast and I am telling you what a relief. Here in Europe we usually have lunch as a main meal and breakfast and dinner can be something more simpler, but then again I like for my son to have variety. If he had a sweet breakfast then the dinner should be something more "saltier" if you get me. So I was always trying to make it balanced. So my "genius" breakfast idea is actually serving the same breakfast every morning except Sundays. So on our breakfast table you can find honey, homemade jams, liver pasty, eggs, ham and cheese. On Sundays I make some waffles. So far it works wonderfully for me because it is ready in no time, I don't have morning stress and I feel good that I am giving my son the option to choose what he wants.
P.S. Sorry for the blur photos, but with my fever and foggy vision I noticed when I uploaded it. Promise better photos of my Home Journal next week.

I love Flylady - but I am not very good at following her routines!
Wonderful idea for ease of meal planning. I have a friend who swears by the Fly Lady method. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Flylady is wonderful...if only I'd follow her ideas! I need to go back and start cleaning my sink again! I started a control journal once...haven't used it in years though. I need to get back to it. My life would be so much more organized! :)
great idea on simplifying breakfast! I too am a flybaby. :) Kelly
Oh, I am so sorry you have been sick. That is horrible and I hope you feel all better again soon.
I love the idea of having a list of simple meals. We do the same thing, I don't love cooking, so I usually put off thinking about it until late in the day. Having a list of simple ideas we rotate through is the only way my family eats at our house!
Thanks for being faithful to keeping up with Beautiful Life Fridays!
Blessings,
