What is ONE thing you can do this week to make your life a little simpler??

Here are some ideas for you:

• Make a meal ahead of time so you have one cook free day
• Turn off the computer and/or TV an hour earlier than usual
• Spend 15 minutes a day relaxing with a book, magazine or just a cup of coffee

You don't have to choose any of my ideas, you can come up with your own. This is completely VOLUNTARY. We all have our own idea of simple living, so find what works for you!

My simple living goal this week:
consign my old prom dresses and formals and dd's
take a load to the landfill from upstairs demolition (we plan to do this at least 2x a month). I'm praying for a nice day Wednesday cause then we can take the kids for a bike ride. When the weather is more consistent, we plan to do this nightly.

Get all caught back up from our trip. You know - suitcases emptied. Checkbook balanced. Wash caught up. Phone calls / mail answered.

I'm actually well on my way with this!

-I will use my crockpot one day this week and double the recipe for leftovers another night.
- Go for a walk if it's not windy

Thanks for reminding me that I have a crockpot!! I used to use this often and just got out of the habit. Doubling the recipe to have another "cookless" night down the line is downright ingenious! I'll make sure to include this in my immediate meal plans.

I obtained a giant box this week (Bought a new comforter for our new bed!) SO I plan on using this giant box to start collecting all the things that I want to put in our yard sale! I want to have a yard sale here soon to help declutter our house and get rid of a lot of things that we can no longer use - like bed linens (we went from a full to a king, finally!) AND old baby items!

This will be a big task for me to go through everything but I know that it will be worth it!

Okay, I need to jump in on this so I can be held accountable!

This week I will:

- use the crockpot one night (great idea!)
- declutter the bookcase in my office - it is out of control!!!

I've made an extra two meals this week for the freezer, and rotated the food around in my pantry.

I haven't done this yet... BUT the week is not over AND I have tomorrow off to gather up as much stuff as possible! - I'm gonna do it!
