Motivated Monday...



So last week I posted my "To Do" List for the week..well, lets see how I did...



- exercise at least 3x's this week, even if it is just walking with the kids. Get back on track to this whole losing weight thing! I did go walking, but only once, mainly because it was pretty rainy last week. This week is not looking to promising either, I will need to resort to indoor exercise.

-Work on doing some sort of landscaping on our front yard.. yeah, that should be fun!
Ok - I did get started on this. Once the weather clears up, I plan to do more.

-Begin pricing items for our yard sale. I have been doing this. I have almost everything priced, but I am still coming across more items to sell.

- write enough to earn me minimum $50 (I have been doing a little freelance writing, which is why I have not been here as much lately. Boo.) I almost made it... I was $2 short. I will try again this week, actually, I am trying for more.

-get my laundry completely caught up.....again (I have no idea why keeping laundry up is so difficult for me, honestly it is the easiest of chores, right? What is wrong with me??) Can I skip this one? I did not get caught, close but no cigar

-To stop being a chicken and write an article for Helium already. It is not an immediate moneymaker, but I believe writing for them will enhance my writing abilities. Do you hear any balking? If you do, that would be me, I chickened out.

-Last but certainly not least....write on here more, at least 3x's.
Yet another failure.. I only did twice. Boo. Keeping tabs on my "to do" list is actually quite depressing. Oh well, this week will certainly be better, right?


This week's "To Do" list is looking pretty similar..

-Exercise.. indoors or outdoors. Minimum of 3x's this week

-Continue gathering and pricing things for our yard sale

-Earn at least $50 writing

-Write 3x's or more on here

-Laundry, Laundry, Laundry

-Write for Helium..... balk, balk, balk...

Happy Monday, Everybody!!!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Taking care of the earth that God lovingly created for us really should come naturally, however, for me sometimes it is an after thought :(

Starting today I will make a more conscience effort to recycle, reuse, reduce....


Happy Earth Day!

Motivated Monday..


OK - so I am not as motivated as I would like to be. I thought maybe if I put my list of what I would like to accomplish this week for all the world to see or at least a couple of people, I might actually do them!!! What do you think???

Here it is...

- exercise at least 3x's this week, even if it is just walking with the kids. Get back on track to this whole losing weight thing!

-Work on doing some sort of landscaping on our front yard.. yeah, that should be fun!

-Begin pricing items for our yard sale.

- write enough to earn me minimum $50 (I have been doing a little freelance writing, which is why I have not been here as much lately. Boo.)

-get my laundry completely caught up.....again (I have no idea why keeping laundry up is so difficult for me, honestly it is the easiest of chores, right? What is wrong with me??)

-To stop being a chicken and write an article for Helium already. It is not an immediate moneymaker, but I believe writing for them will enhance my writing abilities.

-Last but certainly not least....write on here more, at least 3x's.


Ok there you have it...I hope that at the end of the week I will be able to check each one of those off!!!

Happy Monday!!!

It Worked....

Remeber back in October, I told you about my lasagna garden? Well, my son and I went to plant and IT ACTUALLY WORKED!! We did not have to till or dig. The ground was so soft and the soil so rich. There were worms everywhere..which is a good thing!! We planted several things, some of which have already sprouted. I do not have much of a green thumb, fortunately my six year old does, so hopefully we will have some fresh fruit and vegetables in a couple of months!! I am so excited! I will keep you posted.
