I say it's as long as you have the newly wed glow...and I think that has possibilities of staying forever. Sounds cheesy...but I dont care. I've seen 90 year old couples married for 65 years and as happy as they were after they just said I do!L @ Salt and Sentimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241264005515482513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034366725430193913.post-59975554010953048552010-04-01T01:38:33.639-04:002010-04-01T01:38:33.639-04:00we are QUITE alike.

Like you I am a habi...So much to do~so little time. Like you I am a habitual list maker, but found that all the little lists were out of hand. I discovered My Day calendar, & do list on Microsoft Office. It's on my desktop so I can quickly add to my to do list, check reminders, tasks etc. I'm been an incredible time saver for me and has eliminated all those little lists.The Hip Hostesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00681140128040202668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034366725430193913.post-41983859758548706882010-03-31T08:37:28.566-04:002010-03-31T08:37:28.566-04:00anything that can make my chaotic life more contro...anything that can make my chaotic life more controlled is welcome! i love this site...thanks for sharing!!<br /><br />and yes, ya'll are still newlyweds :)emily andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109400321082241146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034366725430193913.post-73106800342981695012010-03-30T23:23:11.039-04:002010-03-30T23:23:11.039-04:00I am the same way (and yes 2 years is newly wed.. ...I am the same way (and yes 2 years is newly wed.. our 2cd is on June 14!). I also have chronic illnesses which adds to the restraints on being able to accomplish everything on my to do lists, including save the world! haha. So what I've come up with is a "Must Do" List and a "Would like to do" list. Really focusing on what a "must" is and trying to limit it to things with true deadlines. I also make sure to add in some "self-care" like a bath or whatever. I break the day down into 10 or 20 minute intervals so that I know what I am doing at all times and don't loose focus. I also cook in mass so that I can freeze some of it to use later. And you can find some great healthy crock-pot recipes. And I agree with Mallory - plan ahead and buy accordingly.A'n'G Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319586269602054299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034366725430193913.post-16288274155749510982010-03-30T23:08:07.424-04:002010-03-30T23:08:07.424-04:00I am definately going to go and check it out.

It seems that you are definately on the right track, I think that the most important thing to remember is that having a spotless house and having a home cooked meal every night really isn't that important when you look at life's priorities!

I used to roam the aisles and spend about $100, now I shop for 2 weeks and spend that much. It's great, plus I know what I'm going to make when I get home. I definitely recommend it.Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473389560413096129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034366725430193913.post-32338236148664782282010-03-30T22:18:56.166-04:002010-03-30T22:18:56.166-04:00Can't wait to hit up that website, it sounds l...Can't wait to hit up that website, it sounds like it's right up my alley!
