List Change

I had to change the list - I had to take out walking to the train once a week for a full year - because Fiona will soon be starting day care the possibility of walking to the train is out. I substituted it with making something special for Fiona every Christmas which is something I have been thinking about a lot lately.

Week 4

Whirlwind of a week - my in laws were here to visit. We took Fiona to pick apples & see the Beauport mansion - making great progress on the list. We went to Woodman's in Essex so we added a new restaurant to the list. Other than that I kept plugging along on my monthly goals - I barely have the energy to write after the long visit.

Week 3










This week I was able to cross 2 things off my list. I made another type of baby food - Asparagus! Fiona didn't mind it when I mixed it with Rice cereal - otherwise she did not like the consistency at all. So i have made 2 different types of baby food. WOO! I really like doing it! I hope to get a magic bullet for Christmas so I can do more of it, it is really such a pain to pull out the big food processor to do such a little amount! The other thing I was able to cross off this week was to get my charm bracelet up to date. I spent way too much - but it is finally up to date.
Here are the charms I got!

For our trip to Germany








For our trip to France






For our trip to Ireland





For our Trip to St. Thomas (my brother's wedding)





For our recent trip to NYC






Engraved with Fiona's Initials & birthdate:





66 for the # of days Fiona was in the NICU

My In-Laws will be here this week - so hopefully I will be able to keep on track with my monthly goals and work on some of my National Landmark goals as well.

Week 2

Well - it has now been two weeks since I started this. I feel like a really slowed down this week, but I also researched a lot of stuff. I was able to get the desk here at home cleaned out (Including the printer stand - BONUS!) and the desk at work. I do need to research desk accessories this week for my desk at work - that is the only way my top drawer is ever going to remain neat. I also laid out my outfits every day last week. Well - I laid out everything on Sunday for the whole week - so I am not sure if that is cheating. I couldn't believe how much time that saved me in the morning. I didn't have to worry about what was clean - or if I had a clean cami for some of my tops - damn boobies always trying to get out! I even laid out all my clothes already for this week! I also started the "to do" list notebooks. I love the one for work - I am not sure about the one for home. probably because I am all over the place at home - so maybe this will help. Other than that I donated a few more items. Hopefully this week I will be able to cross off a few more items. Next week my ILs are coming so hopefully I can cross off even more while they are here.
