I'm hoping to get back here more often as work and school begin to slow down here. The dogwood trees and apple trees have white flowers. Leaves are growing bigger and bigger on the other trees. We've weeded, planted flowers and mulched the gardens in between rain showers these last few weeks...

Happy Rudolph Day! I can't believe that Christmas was 3 months ago! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Hello Magical Holiday Home friends! I hope you enjoy this month's links: Reading - Perhaps the first "cozy Christmas mystery"? ;) The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Crafts - Upcycling cans for Christmas decorations Our Shabby Cottage - Cans for Artificial...

I was so engrossed in my projects that I forgot to post last week. I've been focusing on personal projects and evaluating once again my goals for this year. I'm questioning if I want to spend the time to complete it because I enjoy it or am I doing the project out of obligation. The more I do...

I'm hoping for a better week than the last two weeks. I'm exhausted when I get home. I'm changing my original plan of trying to read one book from the pile every 5 weeks. I don't have the mental capacity at the end of the day. I'm going to see about reading two books in the summer instead...

I'm always amazed at the work you ladies can get done here. After trying to list things here, I think I'm a two-item-a-week person. However, I'm going to list this third item as a reminder. It's the perfect thing to do while watching TV: work on autobiographical question. make a kitchen...

Michelle, I was going to say the same thing. If those books you collected hold a place in your heart, then hold on to them. A strong positive memory is attached to them for a reason. I just let go of some Christmas decorations that I've held onto for 12 years because my children's...

Katrina, I was just talking to dh about it being a month ago when we were visiting family. How the time flies! You are off to a great start! My post Christmas blues were at a minimum. We extended the celebrating through the first week of January. I still have Christmas greenery and the...

Added two more items to the donation pile and trashing some unfinished and not worth saving crafts.

My 3 day work week was a 3.5 day work week. On my day and a half off, I did those things on the list that I like to do and spent today doing the housework that I can't stand. This is the way to do things from now on. :)

I went through some crafting shelves and a cabinet in the dining room and either tossed items or put items in a donate pile.

Ah, the million dollar question! I guess normal is more like what we expect things to be as a result of a routine.

I'd like to: answer one autobiographical question and organize the answers I receive from my parents. finish a Christmas project that was started last year. If it doesn't get done this week, then I'll pass it on.

I took a quick look at my crafting projects that I had lined up to do. Several of the projects were going to use recyclables. Looking at all the other things I have on my list, I knew then that it just wasn't going to happen. So into the recycling bin those items went. I also finished...

You've got a good plan for the week. Are you getting together with family on Australia Day? Have you set a date for the move? I'm hoping for a regular work week. Dd starts back with her afterschool schedule this week. Warmer temperatures and rain are forcasted for the next two weeks...

It was a productive week for me. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but all of my goals towards my word of the year have been put into a spreadsheet. I usually write it out on paper and then organize it in a word document. However, it gets to be a bit "clunky" when I want to see...

I started to declutter bad photos/duplicates/screen shots from my cloud photo storage. I didn't know where to start so I decided to look at only the photos for January. It starts at 2014. Ten years of January photos... :oops: Did I ever tell you that I love photography and taking pictures of...

I am learning from you and the other wonderful women here. I'm so thankful that we can share our unique lives and journey together with one another. :)

Yesterday, part of the office was decluttered. I filled two small grocery bags and tossed them. Today I sorted through more papers from two of my binders and a drawer. I filled another bag and tossed that too. Part of those papers were recipes that I've saved. I looked at them and thought...

I used some of my snow day to make Valentines for the students. I'm trying to use what I have and not buy anything. This week's list: Use scrapbook paper to make Valentines for the class. Answer one question and add it to the file. Collect my mom's answer and add it to her file.
