In the first chapter of Loving the Little Years, she started with: “There is only one thing in my entire life that must be organized. The kids can be running like a bunch of banshees through a house that appears to be at the bottom of a toaster, and yet, if organization and order can still be found in my attitude, we are doing well.” I read that, stunned. I realized all my attempts at organization were aimed at my material circumstances rather than my heart and attitude. I needed to organize my attitude before I would get any traction in organizing my home.
