Last Week’s Wishes

Update my Photography Blog. Organize and declutter our closet. Make it to the gym at least once since twice hasn’t happened! Get back to eating healthier so I can continue my weight loss journey. Spend more time with Kenny, Dustyn & Carsyn. Yes I want to get the house cleaned and organized, but I felt like I didn’t spend enough time with them last week.

Alright I did not update my Photography Blog. I actually came to the conclusion this week that I think I am going to close down my photography business for the time being. I want to focus on getting our house sold, moving, and getting settled. Then we will see what happens. I do have a couple sessions already scheduled, but I don’t think I will be taking any more clients. Organizing and decluttering our closet did not happen. Although we did do our whole bedroom, dining room, and living room. I finished the rest of the kitchen. I cleaned the boys rooms up. I also started packing up some of our knick-knacks to make the house seem less cluttered. It is really looking good around here. I did make it to the gym for Zumba last week! YAY! I also ate a little healthier this week than I did last week. I still have not lost anymore weight. I tried to spend more time with the boys, but just still seems like not enough.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Organize and declutter our closet.
  2. Make it to the gym at least twice this week.
  3. Drink 100oz of water a day and limit my soda intake.
  4. Finish taking photos of the house, so I can make some flyers. Then we want to list on a few online sites.
  5. Spend more time with Kenny, Dustyn & Carsyn. Yes I want to get the house cleaned and organized, but I felt like I didn’t spend enough time with them last week.

      Thank you! I know I can not believe I acquire so much!

    Drinking more water is a great goal!! I've been trying to do more of this as well, and I have to say, I feel so much better because of it!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      Yes it is hard to remember, but I do feel much better.

    Wow, 100 oz of water! I can't even imagine! It's an amazing day for me if I even hit 64 oz! Congrats on making it to Zumba and getting so much cleaning done last week - even though it wasn't your goal area, you still got a lot done!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:41 pm

      Well you are suppose to drink half your weight in water. So that means I have to drink a lot. He he.

    i need to organise my closet more often but io actually like organising my closet
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:42 pm

      Yes hard to get motivated, but once I start and finish I feel so much better.

    I feel like organising and decluttering my closet was one of my goals for weeks and weeks, it's such a big one! Once I finally did it properly it felt so good though, so good luck :)
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:42 pm

      Yes it has been on mine for awhile.
  6. Kimberly says

    February 10, 2014 at 3:49 pm

    That's a great list! Similar to mine. Except for the moving part. Why are you selling and moving? I seem to just change the date on my to-do list these days. So many unexpected things come up that interfere with my plans. :)
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:43 pm

      Ha ha. Yes things do come up and interfere. We want to move closer to Raleigh for Carsyn's appointments.

    I totally fell off the no-pop bandwagon. I like your goal of making sure you reach your water goal first & just limiting the pop. Much more realistic!
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:43 pm

      I know! I felt so much better without it. Wish I wouldn't have started back but it is so hard. That is why I am trying to drink my water first.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
