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

Here are some ideas for you:
  • declutter a room, closet or just a corner of a room
  • meditate
  • take your watch off for the day!

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!

To get my entire house perfect! Of course that isn't really about living simple is it? Oh well -- it is the way it has to be this week and probably the next.

Sigh...............

My simple living goal this week is to dance with the boys during Jack's Big Music show every day! It's a simple pleasure and I get my work out. We did it today and we all had a blast.

I used a vacation day from work today, so my goal is to keep the house as clean as it is right now. I worked on cleaning from 8-3:30, but it is spotless! And it feels great! So now I just have to work on keeping it that way!

Also want to declutter the 2 cabinets in the kitchen that I didn't get to!

Ds and I played HI HO Cherry-o then playdoh. I should do this everyday w/ him and dd too. I get so caught up in projects and decluttering, cleaning, etc. I forget the reason I decided to be a sahm in the first place...to spend time w/ my kids! I did get the bathroom floor upstairs cleaned so dh could start laying cementboard, but ds loves to "help" w/ projects. Dd not so much . Dh and I decluttered his hunting and hobby stuff in our bedroom last night. Totes in the basement did not get decluttered as we realized all of them were full of xmas or seasonal stuff, no junk. That was a good thing, except we needed them to sort his stuff so we had to use boxes instead. Oh well, I just keep telling myself its temporary till the bedrooms are done upstairs. Then maybe my decluttering efforts will pay off.lol
