cleaning house

Like I've said too many times, we had a delightfully busy summer, and while it wasn't all the fun kind of summer busy, lazy days by the pool we all know and love, it was full enough where there were certainly many areas in my life that fell to the wayside over the past few months that need my attention now. It's time to regroup and get back to my "in school" routine now that my girls are back to theirs. Here are a few things I'm hoping to do and accomplish this fall--trying to be accountable.



--Organize my studio. Want to get rid of most of it. I desperately need to declutter this room big time. It stresses me out to be in here. May need some professional help. Anyone?
--Organize and declutter my closet. More than 1/2 needs to go as well.
--Work on a few Christmas gifts--trying to think ahead.
--Clean out and organize photos from the years 2007 & 2008.
--Make it to the Temple at least twice a month.
--Volunteer at the school. Already signed up for Thursdays.
--Get back to doing my creative Wednesdays. I want to do more projects I've seen on pinterest.
--Make bread.
--Drink more water.
--Make and plan our weekly menu. It works wonders. I never get asked what's for dinner anymore, plus I love already knowing ahead of time. That's 1/2 my problem with dinner, deciding what to make.
--With that in mind I have a goal to make at least one new recipe a week. Hoping to share said recipes with you all. First on my list, tonight, BBQ Chicken Pizza.
--Use my time wisely, but enjoy the hours I have.

I'm in your boat when it comes to meal planning. If it's planned out, it happens. If not, everyone fends for themselves and I never feel great about that. Good luck with your list, it is a great one.

Some of these things are on my list for fall, as well. Maybe we need to buddy up. :)

You are wise to plan things out! I really, really, really need to do this with dinner ideas because I despise having to think of something. I hope you'll post your progress with these projects.

It is totally time for me to get back to my pre-summer schedule! You've inspired me to start listing :)
