I haven’t kept up with my winter challenge entries very well, but I’ve been intensely focused on my decluttering goal (using the daily flylady missions as a kick start). This is the main goal I want to nail by spring. Today is my 54th consecutive day and clutter’s proverbial ass is being kicked hard. I feel very good about how much I’ve done, and can feel myself unwinding the more the house is freed from layers of mess and useless crap.

I’ve continued to keep up with (or make progress on) multiple goals: Happiness, Friday haiku, Kiva, free rice, contact w/friends & family, being a good mom (and potty training), reading, date nights, various emotional/health goals etc. I’m trying to keep a good balance going.

Although I haven’t managed to check off as many goals as I’d like, there were some important ones: I was finally able to give blood again and I voted for the first time.

Goals I’ve completed (since my last entry):

• Have 100 subscribers

• Set up new toddler bed

• Dr. Seuss avatar week

• Take vitamins daily

• Increase my iron levels

• Donate blood

• Fix the X

• Hang art on the walls

• Vote

• Clean out my fridge

• Attend a Chinese New Year celebration

• Give myself a pedicure

• Feed the ducks

• Play “Two Truths and a Lie”

I’ll continue to push all the cluttery bits away from my life and keep on top of the rest as best as I can. Winter tends to drag around the edges. I look forward to Spring.
