keeping it simple...

I am on a mission to live and provide a more simple, balanced, and healthy lifestyle for our family. I have a few goals that I am working towards each week and I want to stay accountable by sharing them with you. Hopefully, you will become encouraged to improve your life in some way. Here is what I am working on this week:

1. Drink more water and limit/cut out sugary drinks.
(I have been doing great in this area, although I am savoring a few sips of mountain dew as I write this- how ironic!!)
2. Revamp our eating habits. Purchase more fruits and vegetables. Only buy healthy, natural, and organic snacks.
(I shopped at Publix this week and felt so good when I walked out. My shopping cart was full of colorful vegetables, delicious meats, and yummy healthy snacks... and I did all of that with my four little ones in tow! Score two points for me!!) 
3. Train Lily in a few areas: obeying the first time, blanket training (which will help her to stay in her bed at night), coming to me when I call her name, and limiting the pacifier only to bedtime. (This is a work in progress...the last two days have been great. I just need to stay consistent.)
4. Tackle the movie closet and purge over half our movies. (I sorted through the kids' movies already.)
5. Go through our medicine box and discard items and reorganize. (Did it this morning.)
6. Clear out and simplify our homeschool closet. Lots of the items I rarely use anyway. (What I've done looks better, but it could use more purging.)

....and for those friends who are wondering......
"Yes, I will eventually tackle my 46 purses!" just begin praying for me now!!!

Be blessed this week as you make goals to improve your family and lifestyle.
God will bless your efforts!
