How about we tackle that mountain of papers and get a SIMPLE system for keeping it all straight!  That's what we're talking about today in episode 86 of the Practically Speaking MOM Podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.Last week, in episode 85, we began a new theme called "Lasso Your Life."  The idea is to lasso your life or it will lasso you.  That's right, if we don't take control of our life, it will try to pressure us into a life of urgent stress, overwhelm, and honestly a feeling of defeat.  In episode 85, we "lasso'd our momlife" by taking control of our To Do List.  Now, in episode 86, we are "lasso'ing our life," by taking control of papers and mail."Lasso your Life," will be an on-going theme from time to time as Val Harrison, The Practically Speaking MOM, gives you practical ways to get another area of your life under control.  Keep your eye out for this occasional theme!  Also, Val would LOVE to hear from you.  Let her know what are of the momlife YOU need some help managing.  She'll take your feedback into consideration when she is creating future episodes.  You can contact her through her website, PracticallySpeakingMOM.com.
