new challenge

I came across this and have decided to add it to my challenge for 2012.

The slowly decluttering my house is going well. I have a bag half full and a box half full. The stuff for the box came from 6 of my kitchen cupboards today. There are still 7 more I can go through :) It feels so good to open cupboards and not have them full of stuff I don't need. I will be able to pass along things and hopefully someone else out there can find a use for them.

This is one of the books I am reading right now


I bought it awhile ago but am just getting into it this week.

I am also reading Parenting from the Pew. Very interesting book for parents with children. I am only on chapter 4 but am feeling quite challenged on how to make Church a more personal experience for my boys...to make it less about learning to be quiet and more about pleasing God and glorifying him.

Now to prep for tomorrow and get to bed...I need to get the boys out the door very early as I have a staff meeting...yes the second one this month. Then not another until March. I don't know what is up with my supervisor. Last fall we had a meeting in September and then not again until December. Oh well I guess she is making up for our lack of meetings last year. I think there were only 6 the whole year.
