2010 - motivate me

we recently started a 'weekend list' in our house to put down tasks to be done on weekends. this came out of our sunday discussions coming up with all the things we should have done and needed to do.

my next plan is to make a weekend family jar filled with ideas of activities to do as a family. this way we dont have to come up with something every weekend or feel stuck without ideas or in a rut. i think my contributions will have a lot of outdoor and free ideas!

and of course, a new years resolution. to make a to do list and cross things off of it. this is something i've already been trying to do. but the new year just adds a little motivation and energy to it all.

first things: learn to knit, finish reading some books, print out alex's first year pictures (literally thousands)

another week down

and another week closer to the holidays, alex's first birthday, busy busy busy.

tonight, i am thankful for:

• unlimited filtered cold water out of the refrigerator
• warm fall weather for us to get lots of outside time
• feeling productive today by crossing off a few things on my to do list
• quality family weekend time
• my weekly smoothie from robeks (using my 20%off card)

sunday - give thanks

round 2

• beautiful weather this weekend to enjoy (warm, dry, and leafy!)
• removing moldy drywall from the basement
• alex waking only once each night (this has become the new trend)
• white flowers in my kitchen
• my new book heaven on earth and a bright new journal for the goodness it inspires
• our annual ikea trip (this time for the wood kitchen)

sunday - give thanks

this will hopefully be my new practice.

here we go, round 1.

• pretty fall colors
• my new robeks discount card
• herbs growing in my yard
• my handy husband who hung nails for me to dry herbs (and replaced the hot water tank and went to the waldorf open house)
• a renewed inspiration to make my home and life how i want it
• a sleeping healthy baby
