Clean Out the Bookcases. This project is not complete, so it is likely to carry over to next month. I knew it was a big job, but I didn’t realize how big until I got started. I also didn’t realize how much sorting I would actually have to do, so I’m okay with it taking [...]

September 3in30 Challenge: Week 3
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 3in30, books, organizing on September 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Clean Out the Bookcases. there are no pictures this week because I’m honestly too sore to go get my camera. For reasons not worth going into Ben kicked me in the knee, the “bad” one and then Peyton very accidentally head butted the same knee. It’s a tad swollen at the moment and prefers me [...]
Seasons of a Mother’s Heart: Chapter 3

Synchronicity seems to be the name of the game for this chapter. I was on a trip this week for work and I took a long a different book The Not So Big Life by Sarah Susanka for reading on the plane. I know, I know, a real, paper book, but they don’t let you [...]

Clean Out the Bookcases. there are no pictures this week because I’m out of town at a work thing, but I have almost finished with the bookshelf I was 3/4s of the way down last week. My progress has been slowed, ironically, by my public library who wants my books (the fiction and non-fiction in [...]

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure how this chapter was going to go. I’m not convinced that I’ve ever heard a specific calling from God for me to do anything. I wonder sometimes if I don’t listen carefully enough or if I just don’t know what I’m supposed to be hearing. I believe, though, that [...]

This has been a good week. I’ve gotten a lot done since I started this, though I’m currently at a stand still on the books. I’m dependent on P to remove them. I fill the boxes, he takes them away, and brings them back empty. I am not asking what happens to the books because [...]

My new motto, also? Two section headings from chapter 1: “Choose to be thankful” (p. 34) and “learn to be content” (p. 36). When I decided to read this book and “join” this book club, I wondered if I was going to “fit” with it. By this, I mean that I’m a thinker and an [...]
September 3in30 Challenge: I’m In

I can’t believe that I’m doing this, but I’m in. I probably shouldn’t be trying to do a challenge at all, but this one seems to have a high probability of success. The idea here is to choose three goals to try to complete in the month of September. I think I’ve chosen three goals [...]
Spring Reading Thing 2011 — May Update

I heard about this at No Ordinary Moments and thought that this sounded like just the thing to get me reading a bit more and dodging a bit less. This was the line my initial blog post on this subject started with and, for the most part, I was right. I find myself reading more. [...]

I heard about this at No Ordinary Moments and thought that this sounded like just the thing to get me reading a bit more and dodging a bit less. Except for the hobby books (and Meagan Francis’ book), these are all Kindle books. I’m reading by category this time around so, here’s my plan: Fiction [...]
