Letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
When I was little, life was simple.
Dad went to work and mom’s full-time
job was to take care of all the chores:
cooking, cleaning, doctor
appointments, and keeping the
children on track and well-fed.
Although performing that job in itself
is a daunting task in this day and age,
many women have to work to make
ends meet with the rising cost of living
and keep their homes running
efficiently has become increasingly
difficult. Life is not simple anymore. Nowadays, we are all moving at
100 mph. Our schedules are very tight, between work and running
our overscheduled children around to their many appointments. Life
is crazy. It is very difficult to have the same level of organization in
our homes and not to feel overwhelmed and “in the weeds” all the
time. At FloridaWise we have come to realize that our readers could
use some help in this area. We have decided to help you get your
lives organized one section at a time through features in our
DecoratingWise section. Last month we focused on getting you
organized, this month we focus on getting those garages organized
and not making them a dumping ground for the items we don’t want
in our homes. Next month, look for an article on getting your closets
organized. Once you organize all the areas of your life it’s amazing
how much more time you can find for things you enjoy. October is a
good month to get organized because the holidays are looming on
the horizon and you know that if we think our lives are crazy now
“you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
This month’s cover is dedicated to Carolyn Lamour. We are
incredibly proud of the very talented teenager that will put Lake
Worth on the map while representing the USA by dancing at the
World Dance Showcase in Germany next month. We wish her well.
Have a great October and don’t eat too much candy from your
little ghosts and goblins!
