One Bite: Week Eight
Bite Number Thirty-Three: Streamlining Your Kids’ {Schoolwork} Collection Technically this Bite was supposed to be about organizing kids’ artwork, but as I’m terribly unsentimental and save only the best of the best, we don’t have a lot of that around our house. What we do have, however, is piles of school progress reports and projects … Continue reading
One Bite: Week Seven
Bite Number 41: Create A Chore System That Works For The Whole Family As with quite a few of the ‘Bites’ in this book, this was something I had planned to do before I purchased the book, and it just works out for me that I can use this as one of my tasks this … Continue reading
One Bite: Week Six
Bite Number Twenty-One: Organize Your Files I’ll be honest; my files were already pretty well organized, and this Bite was a project I’d worked on, completed, and have been maintaining for the past four years. During that time I downgraded us from hundreds of pounds of paper, a four drawer filing cabinet and a two-drawer … Continue reading
One Bite: Week Five
Bite Number Thirty-Four: Drink More Water Like last week, this Bite was unintentional. I was fully expecting to finish up the two tasks I had planned a couple weeks ago and then this crept up on me. I’m not unhappy about this. I’m really focused in regards to my self-care right now, particularly in the … Continue reading
What I Was Into – January 2012
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy these monthly wrap-ups? Yes? Every time I publish one? Well, I do. New On My Nightstand: Finished Reading: Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell. I wish I hadn’t wasted $25 on this book. Absolutely NOTHING happened in the first half, and little of note took place in the second … Continue reading
2012 Goals – January Update
Last year I didn’t check in with myself in terms of my goals. I have a feeling that if I had, I might have attained more of them. This year I’m starting off by updating at the end of the first month. I’d like to think I’m going to continue this trend, but I’m not … Continue reading
One Bite: Week Four
Bite Number Twenty-Seven: Streamline Your Email Confession: I had fully intended to start and complete two entirely different tasks this week. And in fact I did start both of them to an extent but I haven’t completed either one yet. Turns out the combination of Tony being gone & coming home/Anthony getting a cold/Brenna getting … Continue reading
One Bite: Week Three
Bites Number Three: Establish a Morning Routine AND Number Four: Establish an Evening Routine Hey now – TWO tasks in one week! Not too shabby, right? But then, for me these two tasks go hand in hand. To be completely honest, these two Bites were completely accidental this week. I had fully intended and planned … Continue reading
The Velour Track Pants
When getting ready for bed last night I stripped off my jeans and reached into my pajama bottom drawer (yes, I have so many that they require their own drawer) and grabbed the first pair that my hand touched. In pulling them out I saw that they were the bottoms to a velour track suit … Continue reading
One Bite: Weeks One & Two
Yesterday I mentioned that by not starting this project earlier, I’m already a week behind. Good thing I’ve got a cache of twelve already-achieved bites in my arsenal. That’s why for week one I’ll remind you that I already did Bite Number Forty-Five: Make Annual Goals. And in fact I’ve been doing this for four … Continue reading
