Fall musings from my stuffy head...

On a sad note, I have a cold.  On a happy note, I am feeling like life is getting more organized and doable!  If you want to read more about that, you can go to my other blog here.

So now that I am actually getting some things done, I am feeling inspired to do more projects that have been in the "someday" category for a long time.  So, this is going to serve as the reminder list for me to come back to when I have project time.

Things I would like to get done:

  • Declutter my house.  We live in a very small house, and we have TOO MUCH STUFF!  I would love to get it down to just what we need, use, and love.  I would like to do this before Christmas and the two birthdays in the two weeks following, because we are always overwhelmingly blessed with toys and new things coming into the house then!  (And if you have seen Madame Blueberry, I don't have to tell you what packing more stuff into an already packed house would cause to happen.  Ugly.)
  • Learn more about gardening and yard upkeep, what needs to be done when, and start to beautify my little portion of the great outdoors.  This is one area that has been totally neglected in my overwhelm with life.  It is in BAD shape, and I would like to get it looking NICE so we can enjoy it!  I would also like to be able to do square foot vegetable gardens next spring with my children, so that is something to work towards!  This is a project that I need to figure out how to do without spending a lot of money.  Ideas are welcome!
  • Write a business plan and actually START my home based photography business!
  • Desgn and open my new website.  (Idea is done, but I am not releasing it yet because I want it to be a surprise!)
  • Start piano/music lessons for the kids.
  • Clean the basement and rearrange it to be more of a rec room for our family.
  • Move the boys into dd's room and dd into the other bedroom, which will require painting both rooms and assembling a loft bed at the very least.

Ok, that's all I can think of right now because I am already bowled over with the scope/number of projects I came up with in 5 minutes!

We have alot in common! I just read your latest blog on losing weight - I can definitely relate. It's always a matter of better choices for me: choosing NOT to eat something or choosing to exercise instead of NOT doing it.
Then - on your list of projects - I, also, live in small house (little old farmhouse) - and have learned the art of keeping only those things which really need to be kept. Sometimes we accumulate - mostly in 9 yr. old's room (toys) - but it definitely cuts down on useless shopping.
I just started a project this week, which I think I'll post on my blog (you'll have to come over there sometime) about switching my kids rooms. I'm dreading it and yet want to do it because it's needed.
