Week 1, Day 1 to Organized!

Today I restarted the challenge from Money Saving Mom for 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home.

I am loving the new printable checklist that they came up with so that I can just check things off as I go. It even has a spot for me to list my weekly and daily goals, something that I need to make sure I focus on!

I started when I got home from work by sitting down with a cup of engery chai tea (a free sample that I received in the mail!) and creating my 10 goals for the week. Now I have to create a plan to make sure that I finish all of my goals before the week is over!

After writing down my goals I set the timer for 15 minutes, and cleaned up the house. The last load of laundry got folded (and put away!), the dishwasher got ran, counters cleaned off, and extra shoes put in the closet.

I then took the next 20 minutes to clean out my purse. I found all kinds of things in there that I have been looking for, as well as all kinds of expired coupons and old receipts that didn't need to add extra weight and clutter to my purse.

Now that my daily tasks are done I am going to begin working on one of my weekly goals... finish reading A Place of Yes written by Bethenny Frankel. What better place to read then in a nice hot bath!

What is on your to do list for this day, week, month?

YouData.com

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money? Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town. We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me. We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed. What a way to walk into a task like this. I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality. It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it! It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier. We have ha...

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football. Give me anything and everything fall! However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating. The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun. The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given. We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.
