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 a great day at the Hearts at Home conference! I loved getting to meet many of you there — and can’t wait to meet many more of you tomorrow.

Here are a few pictures from when I did the Assignment #10 projects earlier this week…

:: 12 Months to a Healthier You: Week 10 Check-in

12-Months-to-a-Healthier-You

Are you joining us for the 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge? If so, it’s Friday and guess what that means? It’s time for our weekly check-in to post our progress.

March’s Challenge:

We’re focusing on developing the habit of drinking more water in March. I encourage you to set a simple and doable goal for drinking more water and to stick with it.

New to this challenge? Read more details on the plan for this year here.

My Water Intake Goal for March

My goal for March is to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. I’m also hoping to keep up with January’s habit of doing exercising at least 4-5 times every week and February’s habit of eating six big salads every week.

This Week’s Progress:

I hit my goal of drinking 8 glasses of water each day 5 days this week — this is definitely an area where I still need to work on making this a better habit. I hit my exercise goals, as well as my salad goals — yay!

How Are YOU Doing?

Leave a comment telling us how you did on your exercise goals this past week. If you’re blogging about this challenge, leave the direct link to your blog post about the challenge below. Are you on social media? You can also share your progress on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter by using hashtag #12MonthstoaHealthierYou.
