Sunday Spotlight

Thanks for all the responses to Wordless Wednesday this week! The winner is my sister Donna. That was very clever! Amy H wants to know the real story behind Megan's mugshot. Her Girl Scout troup took a field trip to the Police Station a couple of years ago and everyone got a chance to pose for a mug shot.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how to live a better lifestyle. I am setting goals for myself in the hopes I can become healthier, both mentally and physically. Each Sunday, I will pick a goal and tell you what I am doing to attain it. Then you can do the same. This week's spotlight goal is DECLUTTER. This is one thing I'm doing: The trashbag trick- I grab a trashbag and walk around the house and look for things to throw away, broken toys, old school papers, socks with holes, pens that don't work, etc. If I do this every day for 15 min, think of all the clutter I can throw away! Megan and I went through old photos this weekend and threw away ones that were blurry or just plain useless. I filled an entire trash bag! One area I have to really work on is clearing the island in the kitchen. It's completely full of papers!
So now it's your turn. Tell me a goal you are setting and how you plan to target it. Or if you have tips for someone else's goal, that's great too.
Have a great week!

OKAY I WILL JOIN YOU ON THIS ONE AND I WILL ALSO JOIN THE SAME GOAL! WE JUST GOT DONE ADDING BEDROOMS ON IN THE BASEMENT FOR ALLISON AND JACKSON AND IN THE MEANTIME THE WALLS HAVE CLOSED IN UPSTAIRS BECAUSE I HAD NO WHERE TO GO DOWNSTAIRS DURING THE REMODELING. SO NOW THAT THE REMODELING IS OVER AND THEY ARE SET UP IN THERE BEDROOMS, I PLAN TO DECLUTTER MY UPSTAIRS THIS WEEK. I'LL KEEP YOU IN TOUCH AS TO HOW THIS IS GOING.
LOL,

I AM IN AS WELL, I HAVE DONE 4 ROOMS TODAY AND ENDED UP WITH A WHOLE TRASH BAG FULL OF STUFF( MAINLY MY BATHROOM)
MY GOAL IS TO GET FIT AS WELL. A NEW RULE IN OUR HOUSE, THE KIDS ARE STRESSED WITH LIFE AS WELL, SO THRITY MINUTES A DAY AFTER SCHOOL WE DO A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, TODAY WE WENT FOR A 45MIN HIKE. TOOK LOTS OF PICS AND HAD A GREAT TIME. IT HELPS THE KIDS AND MYSELF. ITS GREAT TIME TOGETHER, AND IF I WORK THEY AT LEAST GET TIME IN AFTERSCHOOL CARE OR WITH GARY. SO FAR SO GOOD AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY GETTING HOMEWORK DONE EARLIER!
