New dawn, new day, new life... feeling good?

So its been another HUGE amount of time since the last time I wrote, I am hoping to catch a motivation-trip that a friend of mine is on.

While my blog has been unreasonably untouched, I must say my house is looking, and feeling lighter! (the feeling is mine, not the houses').

I have culled a great deal, still more to go, and have cleaned and organised most of everything in every room!! Its going to look even better once the new lounge arrives... can you tell Im excited!!
I have organised my day (see pictures below) to enable my kids and I to have real routine.
We are on day 2 of P's daily charts, and if you have some great ideas for rewards, let me know please! (3yr old girl)

These little cards get stuck onto the "Today We Will" chart.... there are pics of chores/activities and special cards (eg. birthday to go to, play date, go to church)

P's morning routine, has all she needs to do for herself
(make bed, get dressed, have breakfast, etc)


Her night/bed time routine (bath, brush teeth, pray etc)

The "All Clean" checklist and "Brush with Blue" tooth brushing chart from the nickelodeon kids website (www.nickjr.com/printables/bath-checklist.jhtm)

This is the overall "Reward Chart", P has to follow her routine flip charts (am+pm), help with the chores (she also gets to choose fun activities to do AFTER the chore gets done), be nice to her brother and eat all her dinner...


I have a brilliant friend, who has come up with wonderful ideas and plans to help in her struggle with the inner messie, and I am telling her now I am stealing some of those ideas!

I AM
- going to do said friends 365 day challenge! I have decided that everyday, for one year, I am going to remove one thing from my home/life that is really just cluttering up the important stuff, I am also going to find one thing (well hopefully many things) a day to be grateful for, and I AM going to blog my journey! Watch out for the next blog, later tonight.
-going to continue to do the love dare, I am already learning so much about how selfish I am in my relationship with B, and am only on day 12, only another 28 till I finish the book, but I want to continue to live this way till the day God calls me home!
-going to stick to the plans D and I made, and I AM going to have fun making a few more (I love laminating, anything you want done?? :P)

With Gods help, and inspiration from beautiful D I am going to have the simple life I want, and Keep it!

WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
