April Projects

My Resolutions this year included going through the entire house one month at a time to organize, purge, and fix up if needed.  This month my goal was to jump start my financial planning and work on 14 year old Graham's room. 

Graham's Room - before

Graham's Room - after



While it's not perfect, it's a vast improvement from where we were earlier in the month.  We found this electric fireplace at a thrift shop, we found a large blue and brown print at another thrift shop and we ordered a new bed for him but it was back ordered until this week.  I shopped around and saved $300 by waiting a month to purchase the bed.

Guess what?  I'm also making money after I purge the rooms but I'll fill you in on that on Sunday's blog.

What are you organizing?  I'm actually enjoying my new system of organizing a room a month.  Next up:  Gus' room and office.

New Years Resolutions

Happy New Year!!

I believe it's important to make goals.  For me, it's important to keep my goals simple and realistic.
In addition to my personal goals, I make work goals on my first day back in January to help guide me through the year.

Below you will find my 7 personal goals:

1.  Drink more water (8 glasses) and less coffee (from 4 cups to 2 cups) and drink a kombucha or raw apple cider vinegar every single day.

2.  Eat less sweets (once per week) - I'm seriously addicted to sugar at the moment

3.  Complete one ski race (Birkie), one bike race (tbd) and one running race (tbd).

4.  Read the Four Agreements again and incorporate them into my daily life.

5.  Resume the daily gratitude journal (seriously, I have so much to be grateful for and I need to write it down daily).

6.  Start some financial planning.  Chad and I still have student loan debt and I do not want my kids with the same burden so we need to start planning. 

7.  Organize every room in the house over the next year.  And, implement our meal planning again. 


Do you have a New Year's Resolution?
