My friend Kellee sent out a challenge this week and the timing could not have been more perfect. With the changes in the weather, school back in session, and the coming holiday season, I feel now is a good time to assess where we are at, where we would like to go, and possible plans for getting there. Here are 10 of my personal "To-Do's" for the coming months:
1. Yoga- My daily practice whittled down to a never practice during the summer and it is time to get back to it.
2. Learning- Not that I am not learning all the time but I want to add some more structured class time learning to my agenda for the fall. First up, knitting socks through community education.
3.Budget- I have been playing with our family budget this summer but feel it is time to challenge myself to find ways to use money more efficiently.
4. Facebook- It is time once again to lower my overall computer time and Facebook is always a good starting place for me to lower screen minutes.
5. Play More- The girls are young, they will not be this young forever. Now is the time, here is the place, and fun is on the agenda.
6. Scare myself- Halloween is around the corner but this challenge is not about spooks. I have always been a nervous, slightly fearful person. I have found the best way to overcome that is to push myself to do things that scare me.
7. Mess it up- This one goes along with #5. Life is messy. It can always be cleaned up again.
8. Invest in friendships- Now that I am no longer hanging on in life by my fingernails I have the energy to invest in good friends.
9. Alone time with my kidlets- One on one time with both of our girls helps me to get to know them better. It gives me the ability to just say "yes" to whatever it is that particular little person wants to do, or mostly yes without having a compromise session balancing multiple needs.
10. Alone time with my sweetie- Our kids are bigger now. We have a few more babysitting options like grandma and cousins. John and I started this adventure together and will be here when the littles head out the door for the wide world. Now seems like a good time to catch up and maybe go for a walk or two sans children.
Well, there you have it. Thanks for issuing a challenge Kellee and the reward surely offered incentive.
First Week of School Recap

See, didn't it feel good to do that!? Thank-you so much! I guess with back to school, everyone got busy and forgot to play along. I wish I was clever enough to have thought of the 9/10/11 idea, but in reality I have been trying to do a challenge once a month for several months now. Now how do I get more people to participate!? I guess in the end this is more for my own self improvement! :) Now send me your address because I want to send you something in the mail! Thanks Mel!!
