Simple Living: Clearing off Surfaces

2013-05-13 07.56.14

This month and next I’m working through the 25 Days of Working Towards Simple Living series. You can read everything I’m posting in this series under the tab Simplify. I absolutely LOVED Lorilee’s book Simple Living and took a lot away from it! I would suggest you check it out!

 

Day 3: Surfaces

Last week I took a couple of days to clear the surface spaces in our kitchen (and some in the living room). In order to take things off our counter – even the toaster and other appliances, I needed to reorganize and sort through our pantry and [...]

Week 34 of Pregnancy

week 34

Hello all! I finished week 34 of my pregnancy!

How I feel

I’ve DEFINITELY been getting into the nesting mode, and enjoying it! My husband is also feeling that the time is nearing when we will get to see Baby Girl – he is really excited to see her. I’m not so impatient to see her yet, because there is so much I still want to accomplish before she arrives! (Though we got alot accomplished this weekend. More on that later.)

We’ve been to the birth center a LOT this last week. Last Wednesday we went to the water birth class. After [...]

Simple Living: Incoming

Minimalism

Last week I introduced my 25 Days of Working Towards Simple Living series. You can read everything I’m posting in this series under the tab Simplify. I absolutely LOVED Lorilee’s book Simple Living and took a lot away from it! I would suggest you check it out!

 

I’ve been working on Day 3′s assignment: clearing surface spaces in the kitchen. I’ve done a little bit of it, but have not have a big chunk time to clear out cabinet space so I can clear the surface space. Lorilee’s challenge is to keep everything off the counters for 1 week and if after that time you feel [...]

Simple Living: Underneath

Last week I introduced my 25 Days of Working Towards Simple Living series. You can read everything I’m posting in this series under the tab Simplify. I absolutely LOVED Lorilee’s book Simple Living and took a lot away from it! I would suggest you check it out!

Day 2: Underneath

Yesterday my husband and I took just under 20 minutes to go through all our socks and underwear. He does a pretty good job at getting rid of socks and underwear when there are holes in them and I need to start that habit! I have socks and underwear that need replacing [...]

Week 33 of Pregnancy

Week 33

Hello all! I finished week 33 of my pregnancy! Can you believe my due date is less than two months away!?

How I feel

I’ve DEFINITELY been getting into the nesting mode, and enjoying it! (See more below in “Best Moment this week”). I’m now ready to have the baby yet, but I just want to spend all my time reading and prepping for a baby coming! Why didn’t I have this drive 2nd trimester? Weird. Right now I feel anxious to be done with work, so I can nest. Maybe if I wasn’t working, I would be anxious to have [...]

2013 Monthly Goals: May - June

source from MoneySavingMom.com

This year, instead of setting large, yearly goals I’ve decided to set monthly goals. I think this will help me to stay on track, plus it gives me the flexibility to change my priorities and focus in goal setting. Last year, by the end of the year I realized I didn’t WANT to accomplish everything I had set as a goal the beginning of the year. Also, this year I’m having a baby and who knows how that is going to change my world!

 

Here are the goals I have set for May – June:

Faith Focus: Self-discipline

25 days of Working Towards Simple Living (Minimalism)

May/June Project: Simplify

Or, as I may call it: 25 days of Working Towards Simple Living

I started reading Simple Living by Lorilee Lippincott – so good! Lorilee breaks different areas in life down into 30 days in which you get rid of stuff, organize, or simplify your life. I love some her tips of how to minimize what comes into the home and what stays in the home!

Because of my busy schedule in May, I’m planning on working on this on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in May, then every week day in June until I’m finished. [...]
