I'm going to come steal that cutting board message thingy! Imagine being married going on 52 years. I love to collect cookbooks. Period. Mike would tell you I've got thousands (not true) and more recipes than I have time left on this earth to cook. Get this, I even have recipes from Home Ec in HIGH SCHOOL. I graduated in 1973 for crying out loud, lol. In addition to my 3 recipe boxes (one is double) I have 4 binders of recipes the latest of which are laying around doing nothing. But, I keep printing them off. I throw away the ones we don't like. You have spurred me on the work on all of my binders and weed out ones that sound great, but I will probably never use. I need to sit down at a table, watch RUclips videos on my computer and get to work. Of course there will be interruptions but I can't beat the chasing chicken one. That is priceless and I wish we had a video of those prissy girls. We have been starting to declutter our home. I was so proud of Mike. He got up in one of our attics this week and cleaned house. There is a lot more to do but he got it started. We found clothes for the boys (who are 42 and 44 now) their Care Bears big wheel (made me cry) but it had gotten too hot and fallen apart. I finally said don't show me anymore cause I was going through clothes and crying about other stuff. Gosh, I hate those days are gone. Well, this was long winded enough. As usual. I'll check out the recipe binders at Hobby Lobby if I ever go anywhere, lol. Great, motivational video. Thanks friend! xoxDeb
@@thebrodabode73 I’ll see if I can figure out where the letter board is from…😉 I’m sure my collection of recipes will grow as the years go by. Good for Mike!! I need to get Tim to do some decluttering as well. Haha He’s into selling things on FB Marketplace so that has been helpful but he doesn’t always sell what I think he should. It’s hard when it comes to going through memories. I cry just looking through old pictures of my 2. ❤️ Time passes so quickly!!! Happy Organizing!! Are you guys bracing for more weather? I saw Texas mentioned in this next Winter storm. Stay safe!! ❤️
@@simplyhomeandharvest it is cold here for us this morning. Twenty four and Mike said it's supposed to be NINE on Wed. morning! No precipitation expected so I guess that's good. I only have to take my Mom to the doctor on Thursday but the rest of the time I'll stay inside! xox
I love having recipes on paper! Mine are out of control at the moment. I must purge before I can organize, of course. Every time I make a recipe that I've printed, I write the date I make it and any adjustments in a different color/date. (Does that make sense?) If I haven't made it in over a year, I discuss it with my spouse and make a note of it if it's kept. I have empty binders and document protectors now I have the motivation! Thanks for sharing! 👩🍳📑🗑
I’m at the same place right now- ❤I just can’t decide if I want to use a small ring binder like yours or a regular size - I got my handwritten notes from housekeeping school in Germany- I was 17 - now I’m 65 🤷♀️where did the time go .? I got lots of handwritten recipes from friends and relatives- magazine pages … you mention this too - I also want to put one recipe keeper to for my daughter- with only family favorites 😊- so glad your video showed up today- thanks 👍
I did this a couple of years ago. I'm down to 2 recipe boxes, a big Christmas binder and a mini standing frame one that has all my favorites it's fallen apart. When I find it (we moved just before Thanksgiving) that may become a project for this winter. I have most recipes now online on Pinterest. If they ever close that down...😢😢😢😢!!!😮
