The Great Clean and Purge Project – Final Recap
Well, we’re here. We’re finished. OK, maybe we’re not ever going to be finished. It’s not like we’re going to do a huge Clean and Purge and then just…not. But this long-awaited and much-need effort has reached its end. From this point forward we are on the maintenance program. And there is good reason for…
TToT – Beautiful Summer Days
This week just felt like summer. We had a great lunch at an old favorite hot dog place early this week. While of course you can have a hot dog any time you feel so moved, there is something about this place that goes with summer. Maybe it’s because we always got their take-home doggie…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Four Update
This week has been kind of a filthy one. We’ve tackled some of the bigger and – for lack of a better word – ickier jobs. We worked on the “deep clean” phase of The Great Clean and Purge Project. These are the jobs nobody likes to do. Saddle up and ride with me, friends…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Two Recap
This last week turned out to be quite an adventure. We took our good old time working on our packing and purging during Week One of our Great Clean and Purge Project. When I posted last week we had just been thrown the curveball of the floor crew wanting to come a day early because…
TToT – Fast Pass Edition
How is it possible that a week has gone by so incredibly slow and incredibly fast at the same time? And then the weekend did the same thing? It was Friday afternoon like five seconds ago…how is it Sunday evening already? Since we’re down to the wire here, I’m jumping in on the tail end…
Ten Things of Thankful – Thawing Out and Going Basic
No muse befriends, this week, really, friends – haven’t found much to post here. Maybe I’ve just been focusing my brain power on other projects this week. Anyway, better late than never, here is my list of thankfuls for the week. I am… Thankful that – for the moment at least – it is not snowing. Or…
Focus on Routine – Crafting a Plan
It is very difficult to focus on improving our daily routine when every other day is a snow day. Or a delayed opening. Or something. Seriously, how are you supposed to get into any kind of rhythm when there just isn’t even a beat to follow? And hasn’t been one since like…Thanksgiving? There has been…
Focus – Still Distracted but Moving Forward Anyway
So here we are, four days into February. Time to check in on my One Word goals and move forward into the next part of the plan. This year I’m working on Focus. For January, I decided (with a little help from Steve over at Do Something Cool) to focus on removing distractions rather than…
TToT – Later, January!
Goodbye, January! I’m so over you. Why? Because Polar Vortex, that’s why. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the temperature read 32 degrees in my life. Let’s get right down to business. First, I’m going with the theme of being thankful for others’ happiness. Monday of this week, the Fab Hub took…
Focus – Removing Distractions
I have been thinking so much about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. My main task right now is to figure out how to take that word and turn it into an umbrella underneath which I have smaller sections, if you will, to work on. This is way harder than I thought it would…
