Oh dear! I am tired from reading your list! :) If anyone can accomplish this list it would be you! You are such an organized and ambitious person. I really admire the sweet mother and wife that you are. Just remember not to be too hard on yourself IF everything doesn't get done. There are many of these things that I am still working on and my baby is 14! Life just gets in the way of all our best intentions sometimes! I'd love to meet and go walking with you sometime though. And we could tell you some yummy restaurants to go to. Love you lots Janae! Now get to work! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is inspirational. I need to make a list too! And I have been wanting to make Janen an activity book for Church. We should get together and make one! Maybe we can start collecting stuff as coupons for michaels and joanns comes out. I have one coupon for Michaels for this weekend. I can buy zippers for us or something and when can work on a page or two at a time until we have a finished product. what do you think?
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a really neat list! I like how everything is subdivided so it seems easier to conquer!
ReplyDeleteSo I saw that you had listed under Food "Use a new spice" and I have a suggestion. (as long as you don't already use it)
It was introduced to me when Dallin and I visited Montreal a few weeks ago. It is called Sazon and can be purchased at most Spanish food stores. It comes in a box with little pre-measured packets. They remind me of yeast packets in fact. Anyhow, it is a delicious way to spice up your rice or to have on chicken etc. We like to make chicken burritos, and this time around, I added some to Sazon to the rice and it just gave it a kick of flavor. You should try it sometime!
