A Recap of How I’m Doing

WOW we are starting week 3 of the April Ultimate Blog Challenge! A recap of how I’m doing…..

Week 1 of my mini blog series was CHALLENGES. I need to have goals to get things completed and when I turn my goals in a challenge it’s even more fun. Challenges don’t have to be complicated, set time limits on small projects and they seem to be more doable. My biggest challenge this week will be setting up for our community annual garage sale and Lia’s Sunshine Bakery Alzheimer’s Fundraiser. Garage sales are a great way to weed out unneeded “stuff” and also helps with your re-organizing and de-clutter. So for me, they are a win-win plus all proceeds for both the garage sale and bake sale are donated to Alzheimer’s. How much better can that be!

Week 2 my mini blog was about food! I shared recipes, cooking tips and Lia even wrote about her new talent of cake decorating. This will be a super busy week for Lia as she prepares all her baked goods for the bake sale. We have collected a few new and exciting recipes plus we may even have time to add doggy treats to the sale!

Week 3 I will be concentrating on more tips and tricks on storage, plus my ongoing reorganizing and decluttering projects. They seem to never end! But this year I have shown so much progress in getting rid of things. I’m feeling great about reducing the clutter!

Do you know what I’m doing today? NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING! Today Rich and I will be relaxing a bit since I’m exhausted from watching Rich paint the outside section of our 60 foot with a paint brush! With his RA he has to take it a bit easy but he hasn’t realized that yet! LOL We put the fence up shortly after we purchased our house back in 1999 and was ready to be refreshed. I love how the new cedar stain compliments the gray siding. But tomorrow we will be in full gear continuing getting the garage sale set up!

So I’m taking Snowball’s advice and just doing anything much today. Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday and has a fabulous next week!

I started my blog on Christmas Day 2014 mainly to review products I received. Since then it has evolved into many other categories of lifestyles, family, money saving ideas, low cost, delicious and healthy meals plus other surprise posts. My granddaughter has her own category, Alex's Articles and the latest addition to my blog is my great granddaughter now has her category, Lia's Likings The Baby Blogger! Lia started blogger at 8 months old and she now has a Friday Story Time blog you won't want to miss! I welcome you to join the conversation, ask a question, give a suggestion or leave a comment on any blog post. I hope you enjoy Lia's Likings, she has some great posts that will make you smile!

    You guys certainly deserve a day off, look at what you’ve accomplished during these two weeks!
    No doubt you’ll do great with your garage sale. I would have a thing or 371026 to get rid off as well 😉
