Bucket List

So last weekend went well! I got the house company ready by bedtime on Saturday. I got internet installed on Sunday morning. Hot spots cleaned up and toys mostly picked up. So this weekends list is.....

Play area sorted and picked up.

Paper cabinet sorted

Stash and dash hiding spot emptied

Paint stairs and play area

Paint bedroom

Find home for scrap-booking supplies

Entry closet organized for winter gear

Wish me luck I'm going to get started early and see how much I can accomplish before PPF!

Have a great day!

Goals

Do you have goals? Do you work towards them on a regular basis? I have struggled at goal setting for a long time. I tend to pick things that are too vague or completely unobtainable. It is a life lesson I have yet to learn I suppose. 

Next weekend is Widow's weekend and My wonderful hubby has also decided to head out to a friend's cabin this weekend so I get two Widow's weekends this year. So in an effort to turn this into a positive I am setting some goals. 

Let's start with my bucket list:

Play area sorted and picked up.

Paper cabinet sorted

Bench area cleared off

Stash and dash hiding spot emptied

Mount Washmore tamed

Paint stairs and play area

Paint bedroom

Find home for scrap-booking supplies

Drop off all unneeded/unwanted things to C.A.E.R

Entry closet organized for winter gear

That felt good! Now I'm off to tackle this weeks school papers and make dinner.

Have a great day!

Focus

It may not surprise you to know that I have been pouting. I mean full on two year old kinda temper tantrum. I don't like clutter yet I allow it to take over my life. I need to pick up after myself. I have been dealing with the mail when I bring it in. no more piling. I just have lots of magazines that I feel like I must keep. I cancelled quite a few. I actually filled out a do not contact form on one site because it was locked in with an old renewal service I had. What a silly problem to have. 


Well it's time to put my big girl panties on and deal with my clutter. I'll be sure to update with pictures today and I will definitely be participating in Paint Party Friday this week! 


I've managed to follow right along with  100 days to Christmas every day! I'm so proud of my self. So today's focus will be I can complete any task!


Have a great day,
Nina

Day 2 of 100 days to Christmas!

I'm so excited to be prepared for Christmas and every holiday in between! I have to admit I started putting my holiday binder together early but my Calendars Ready! I printed off Jen's cover to her book 100 days to Christmas for my binder and got started right away. 


This is such a wonderful idea and I wish I would have always known about this but I'm determined to make this the best Christmas yet! Especially since I am now a hunting widow. Bow opener for deer started this morning and my hubby will be spending every free second in the woods from now until New Years eve. Let's wish him luck that he gets a deer on the first day and then will have to wait until November for his next chance at a deer during firearm season and muzzle loader season.


Here are some photos of my progress. I even printed off a banner from the site 100 days to Christmas for the spine of the binder and I used what I already had for dividers and of course the wonderful printouts from List Plan It! 

Have a great day!

What a great idea!

I love this idea! I printed out the first printable Jen from I heart organizing made back in August. I even made my own afternoon and evening printouts. Well she updated and I love it even more! What a great way to keep the kids on task and help remind themselves of what comes next.


Here's a few pictures of the schedule I have. It's in sleeve protectors on the boys bathroom door.

I have placed the new print outs on the pantry door with the calendar and lunch menu print out.

ah it looks so cute! Lets hope we get out the door on time and don't miss the bus again.

Let's get started....

Good Afternoon!

I've decided to try something I read on Mainstream Mom's Blog. Her blog is wonderful! I enjoy it very much and she just recently had a wonderful post about the 100 days before Christmas.

I purchased the program and you can purchase 100 Days to Christmas here. It starts on Friday September 16th. 


I signed up for the daily email and today's link up is what is your favorite thing about fall? Mine is totally pumpkin pie! I've already made two this year!

So Delicious!

I'm so very excited about the up coming holiday season! I can't wait to get started and I plan on blogging my entire way through this!

Thank You Mainstream Mom and Jennifer Tankersley!
