12 Books I Plan to Read in March

As I shared in January, I'm changing the way I'm approaching my reading goals in 2014. Instead of picking books for the whole year, I'm just choosing books a month at a time.

Here's my list for March:

I also am reading through the Bible using the plan in my Blessing Journal and reading one devotional from Jesus Today every day.

:: 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Assignment #3

4 Weeks to a More Organized Home

I've set aside the month of March to really focus on organization in my home and life. And I'd love for you to join me!

Every weekday morning at around 10 a.m. EST, I'll be posting the day's assignment and then every evening at around 8 p.m. EST, I'll be posting my progress and pictures, along with a link-up for you to share your progress and pictures, too.

Day 3 Assignment

::Get dressed in something that makes you feel great {there's something about dressing in clothes that make you feel great that just gives you more energy and zest for life!}

::Sit down with a cup of coffee or tea, refer to your list of weekly goals, and make a list of no more than 5-7 specific things you want to accomplish today.

::Complete your morning routine {if you don't have a morning routine, take some time to create one today! Read my How to Develop a Routine That Works–And Stick With It series for step-by-step help.}

::Set the timer for 15 minutes and do a quick-clean of your bedroom: throw out any trash, put away items that are out of place, get rid of clutter, tidy up, vacuum, and make your bed.

::Clean out your freezer(s). If you need step-by-step help, read this guide on How to Clean Out Your Freezer.

::Find 7 items to get rid of today. Throw them out, stick them in a donate or garage sale box, give them to a friend who can use them, or list them on Craigslist or eBay.

Note: If you work outside the home or have a really busy week with little time for extra projects, just do the bolded project above.

:: 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Assignment #2 (update)

4 Weeks to a More Organized Home

I’m so excited about how many of you are joining us for the 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home Challenge! If you missed today’s assignment, you can find it here.

It was so, so good to get back home today after a week and a half away. We had a wonderful time with dear friends and it was such a refreshing gift to have time away after a busy few months, but it’s always good to be HOME!

Here are pictures from our kitchen-cleaning adventures…
