Laundry Room Update

I know it’s been a while since my last post.  I’ve been having lots of summer fun and avoiding the Fall Cleaning Cycle.  But my dd is back in school and it’s time to get back in the groove.  Last time I shared pictures of my disaster of a laundry room.  I did get that room cleaned & organized so I wanted to post some “After” photos.

We have lived in this house for almost 5 years now and although I had a nice sink in the laundry room I didn’t have soap and a towel to use it.  I managed to get those items in the room and we are all enjoying having another place to wash & dry our hands.

Although the linen closet, coat closet and media closet have been on the schedule the past few weeks I haven’t gotten to them yet.  I hope to catch up over the next few weeks.  I will post photos as I get to them.  As for this week, the Great Room is on schedule.  I should get that cleaned tomorrow and hopefully finish adding some new décor items by the end of the week.  Look for photos then.

Have a great day, B.

On the Serene Front . . .

Several years ago I was a Mary Kay consultant and the directors would often tell us, “Get your priorities straight.  God first, family second and career third.”  So I think that is where I need to start.  God first.  One of my yearly goals is to read the Bible daily and to read through the Bible in a year.  I have yet to achieve this goal, but it’s still a good goal.  At the end of last year in preparation for this goal I purchased “The Daily Bible.”  I really like this Bible, although, again I wasn’t able to achieve my goal.  I managed to read through to May 7^th before summer vacation started and all was lost.  But this is where I’m starting in order to make my life serene.  Yesterday, I began again with my daily Bible reading.  Instead of picking up where I left off on May 7^th and trying to catch up I gave myself a break and started on August 28^th.  I know my life will be more serene by spending time with God each day.  If you aren’t in God’s word daily then I encourage you to start.  It doesn’t matter where you start.  Just that you start.  And if you would like to read along with me then pick up a copy of this:

And start on today’s date.

Blessing, B.

Restarting

Ok, so when I last posted on August 2nd, my Lean Goal of the Week was to drink 3 bottles of water a day.  Unfortunately I didn't follow through.  So today I'm restarting.  My Lean Goal of the Week is to drink at lest 3 bottles of water a day.
