My 30 Days Goals {Free Download}

02/20/2012

1 Comment

 
Okay,  I have to "start small to accomplish big things" or in my case just start.  This is way I love this ideas that was shared  by my great friend, Stacey.  I can easily get overwhelmed with all the "clutter" in my life.  I like this simple minded approach.

Download and print out the 30 days template.  I plan to attach my to opposite side of my Best of My Day notepad, which I  found that neat idea from Under the Sycamore Blog: Ashley. Then at top of template, write down ONE goal you plan to accomplish for that month. Anything you want. My first month might be potty training my son or doing my own art because I seem to make up excuses for not doing it. Then use template to keep track of your goal.  Go for it!   Let me know if it works for you.

In the mixture of all things going on in life, making a moment today that was good enough to write down on Isabella "Best of Your Days" journal was a highlight!

To many hats...

02/12/2012

Today at church two great quotes:
  1. "Don't let what doesn't matter suck the life out of you."
  2. "Don't waste time on what doesn't matter."

I have been faced with some challenging decisions to make lately. I been holding my breath in hopes that I am making the right decisions. Having this time to think about my life and the next direction I must take on my road of life.  I find these quotes to be very inspiring.  If you have been following my blog you will noticed my goal this year is to get rid of the clutter in my life and only keep what is essential.  (Hence clean out the many junk drawers.)

Many hats...

As I feel that I wear so many "different hats".  I realize some fit better then others.  One of best hats I do wear, is being a mom! They matter so much!
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything –all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure –these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart.” -Steve Jobs

My Inspiration: My daughter brought home from preschool a little poem with her fingerprint on it.  Remember that and while reading a blog I like to follow brown paper packages.com it sparked my interest to try it . I decide to give it a try.  Keep passing on the love {thumb}.

Great for little ones that can't write their name yet.

I bought 100 ish burlap bags at a auction.  My husband and father thought I was nuts.  But now I am finding uses for them. I spray painted one bag red. Then cut into about 2" strips.

Last month and a little into this month both my son and daughter have been dealing with colds.  As these times are the challenging moments, they still make up my moments.  "Better or for worst, SICKNESS and in HEALTH"  my children they will be.  I have made many late night trips to the medicine cabinet in search of something to soothe that late night cough.  When I would open the cabinet I was always ready to caught.  It was time to reorganize!

I hope your cabinet wasn't like mine.  I have many more drawers, shelfs, closets, and cabinets to explore.  My goal this year is to tackle all my junk drawers.

Well I splurge and want and bought it, iPad 2.  After making a special trip to UPS store just to pick it up, guess who on it the most.  Yes, Isabella. It's kind of makes my husband an I laugh because we were arguing which one us would be on it the most.  Well it is definitely a family iPad.
The photo on the iPad is the colors scheme I am thinking about with the kitchen. I will post more on that later.

Yesterday I want to a great Apple training workshop.  There was no pencil just iPads.  I can't believe everything I learned in 6 hours, my head was spinning after the workshop.  But it was a great one.
Love if you share any experience you have with iPads or any tablets. Lots to learn.
