One Thing One Week Challenge

I need motivation to get things done, and I found this cool challenge on Amy's Creative Side blog. So, this week I have committed to starting and finishing 24 complicated friendship swap blocks. Not an easy task with both kids home and my in-laws in town. BUT....it needs to happen.

I did challenge myself to get the house clean before the gal from the county came yesterday to fill out Robbie's evaluation paperwork (for his speech). Whew - and now I love my sort of clean home. Sort of has to be my best for right now.

What can you challenge yourself to do this week - there are two days left  - something that has been tickling at the back of your to do list and is begging to be moved to the top?

Get mine done if you get yours done!

End of kindergarten ;(

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks around here...my son turned 2 (so hard to believe) and my daughter's first year of elementary school is coming to a close. Lots of parties, picnics, moving up ceremonies (for her buddies) and such.

I am sad that it's going by so fast. Seems like it was the very first day of school.

This mom is proud of her girl, but wish I could slow it all down. Maybe that's why I take ALOT of photos. To remember each day and how precious every moment truly is.

Enjoy the journey!
