I gotta say, I’m pretty pleased with my progress. I must remember to publicly declare my goals more often because it really seems to get me in gear.
Declutter…
-the linen closet
-Lisey and Sonia’s room
-the office (ack!)
-the laundry room
Ok, so, the decluttering didn’t go sooo great. I’m thinking I’ll tackle the office today.
School Prep
-figure out what curriculum I’m using for everyone
-order the curriculum I need
-finish filling out our registration form (we’re using a new umbrella group, which is basically an alternative way of reporting to the county homeschool office)
I’m super pleased to be all done with my school prep tasks. Yay!
Finances
-write a money email for August
-catch up on Quicken
Ebook
(I’m writing one about ways to reuse, repurpose, and refresh old clothes)
-finish writing it (lots of odds and ends need to be done)
I didn’t finish this goal, but I’m getting close! I made a list of 12 tasks that needed to be done in order for the book to be finished, and I’m down to 5.
-send it off to be edited
Clearly, I can’t do this until I’m finished writing it. 😉
-make a cover or hire someone to do it for me
I made my own! And just to make sure it was ok, I sent it off to my friend who designed all my graphics, and she approved (and suggested we add my logo in). Whaddya think?
I’ll back back with some 365 photo links later today…I need to go eat breakfast and then unload my camera. 🙂
Okee-doke! Here’s mine, and Joshua’s will be up shortly.
Today’s 365 post: Ice Cream Cranking

Hey Kristen,
A few months ago I found out about a wife and mother of two who is battling brain cancer through another blog that I read, and I'm trying to spread the word about Tonya. They are in need of financial help and prayer, and I'm trying to help spread the word. I started my own blog in the hopes that I can get the story out there, but unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to have that many readers anytime soon. This is where I need your help, if you would be so willing to do so. If you'll just check out her page and if God places it on your heart, perhaps you could tell your readers about Tonya's story. Here's the website: http://www.gofundme.com/TonyaTransformed
Thank you so much for your time! I realize this is a very strange request, but when God puts an idea in my head, I have to go with it, even if I end up looking crazy.
