March/April Goals

I completed some of my goals for March but not all of them.  Still progress! 

*Continue making cards and envelopes – I didn’t make any new ones but did have enough for all of the upcoming April birthdays  
*Purge and re-organize the book shelves in the front room – Finished
*Deep clean the kid’s bedrooms over spring break – Finished Anna’s room
*Make changes to blog – haven’t started

The front room bookshelves were a big job but I tackled it while Anna was home on quarantine and she was a big help!  We took every book and game off the shelf, dusted the shelves and every item, sorted and purged, and re-organized as they went back on the shelves.  I found my stamp collection from many years ago and enjoyed showing that to the kids.  I found the wedding planner binder I used – don’t need that anymore!  And, I found a good number of books I’ve bought and haven’t read yet.  Time to refrain from buying books for the meantime and dig in and read more.

Our pile to donate

All finished!

When Anna was home, we also worked on cleaning out her room, purging all the things she doesn’t use and re-organizing.  She worked so hard and is enjoying her new space!  Anna took all of these before and after photos herself. 

For April:

*Wash all comforters, mattress pads, and blankets on all the beds
*Wash and put away flannel sheets and put on cotton bedding
*Purge and organize the office shelves
*Purge and organize the basement shelves
*Make cards & envelopes
