What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

My grandma makes a delicious candy called Penuche. She rolls it into balls and puts a pecan on top. She also rolls it into logs, dips it in caramel and rolls it in pecans. It’s heavenly and Christmas isn’t Christmas without it.
Umm…sounds amazing! Grandmas are awesome!
Fudge AND and possible kitchen aid mixer… now, that’s just pure bliss :)
Love the pictures~ and the fudge looks delish!!!
Thanks for the giveaway, and the quiz. I completed all the entries.
Thanks Joy! Good Luck to you!!
just curious. have you been tested for BRCA gene mutation? do you know about it? i have BRCA 1, and am always interested in talking with other women who do. i am planning to have a preventative ovary removal because my chances of getting ovarian cancer are about 67%. many of my aunts have done this. they have also had preventative mastectomies, at young ages, since our breast cancer risk is about 85%. i will probably do this, too. i’d love to talk to you about this if you want more info. i live in centerville, and we’ve actually met before. thanks for bringing this topic up!
It is funny you mentioned this. I actually had my appointment to get the blood test for CA 125 for a couple of months now and my appointment was YESTERDAY! Isn’t that timing ironic? I thought so. Waiting to hear the results. I imagine since I am finished having children that I too would have them removed if my risk comes up to be high. I am also going in tomorrow for a pelvic ultrasound as an extra precaution. I would be happy to talk to you anytime fellow Centervillite!
I love those old pictures! It’ a good reminder for moms to get on the other side of the camera once in a while! They become such treasures…
My grandma makes wicked tarts!
Oh…Tarts!! So true Loretta. Someday our families will want to have pictures of us to treasure…or at least we can hope ;)

Yay! I love fudge too. Thanks Erin :)! Good Luck!
How, incredibly cute the photographs are ! I’ve never made fudge before, but I’m tempted to , it looks so creamy!
Warm wishes and prayers for a lovely holiday,
elise
The best recipes are the old family recipes. I love using a recipe written in my grandmother’s handwriting!
The fudge looks delicious.
Oh great, now I have to go make fudge. Why do you do this to me. By the way, you look a lot like mom in that first picture.
Yikes!!
Based on your answers, you may have an increased risk of having the following hereditary cancer syndromes:
Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC)
I am so keeping an eye out for this!
Can’t wait to try this fudge recipe…..looks so good! Also, enter the KitchenAid Giveaway at The Idea Room FB page! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Fudge is my fav Xmas candy! Thanks for the recipe and the kitchenaid giveaway!!!
I hope your tests turn out good and you can have the surgery. My daughter has a friend with ovarian cancer now. It was inherited from her dads side of the family. She is on;y 47 and has had surgery and has had her first chemo treatment. I have been praying for her. The chemo has not made her sick. She only wants a few things to eat.
Wonderful photos! I used to make my grandma’s Dodie’s fudge every year too!! Your grandma’s recipe is interesting. I am tempted to try. I always use marshmallow (not the creme) and the Hershey bars! Wow…yum!
Karen
Sounds like a very similar recipe!
Candy had no place on my Russian mother’s table. It was always fruit in season, which made for an eye-popping reaction when I had my first bite of chocolate fudge. I have a collection of fudge recipes (Mamie Eisenhower, anybody?) but this one sounds too good to stash and forget. It will be on our holiday table this year for sure, along with a bowl of fresh fruit in season.
In the true spirit of Christmas I would donate the mixer to a local non-profit.
What a lovely idea Carole! Good Luck!
did all the things!
