I read an article on how to write an effective blog
this afternoon and one suggestion that stuck with me was to just write. I
usually do have to start each blog in a Word doc and then edit after I have
gotten everything down that I wanted to say. Usually my thoughts jump all over
the place and what I originally started out writing about gets lost in the
sauce.
The holidays are over and yet I am still pooped! I feel
like the month of December was just a big blur of running around and wrapping
paper. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed (almost) every minute of it, but man…I think
I still need a day to recoup! We did have a snowstorm last week so I did not
have Tristan Friday which gave me a chance to finish opening Lily’s new toys,
organizing her room, and cleaning out her closet. I am trying to keep our room
clean and somewhat organized. I started a new craft (more on that soon) which
involves rolling up magazine pages, modge podge, cardboard, and a hot glue gun.
My work space is the 4 x 6 space in between our bed and the closet, and it tends
to get a little over run. I did get a label maker for Christmas and that has done
wonders. I feel like if a plastic drawer/box has a name on it, I will be more
likely to put the items away. We will see how long this lasts!
I also have been making myself weekly to-do lists.
Sometimes during nap I get sidetracked or I don’t know which project to start. It
never fails, though, that if I have a set plan, or a big idea, one kid wakes up waaay too
early. I make sure most lists have simple things on them like “wipe down the
bathroom” just so I can cross something off!They balance out the ones that have been on the list every week, like "sew buttons on your coat".
Oh and I am very excited to announce that I am blogging from the comfort of my bed while watching The Wire on HBO Go. This is the life.
