How I did it
How to finish today's cleaning and cooking for the party!!!
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I just pushed myself through all of the work and didn't worry about what anyone else was doing.  If you think someone might help, think twice.  It really doesn't work that way. Read how I did it…

How I did it: While I'm very happy with this year's progress, this is, naturally, a work in progress.  I'll add more herbs every year until I have all that I want out there. Read how I did it…

How to go without power for 6 months
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: The first time, I was a teenager and moved onto this old farm that didn't have electricity or running water.Last year, though, we chose to have our power turned off for the summer.  It was great.  Other than the washing of laundry, it wasn't hard to live without. Read how I did it…

identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money)
#1 5 months ago

1) Spending time with my dogs.

I have a Dorky and a chihuahua. I love to spend time with them, grooming them, petting them, playing with them.

(Please note that my 100 will not be listed in any particular order, just as I think of them).

2) Learning a new skill.

3) Painting.

I love to repaint my rooms. Even just a solid color, though that isn’t usually my style, can make me grin like a fool with pleasure at the clean, fresh walls.

4) Being able to help.

I love it when I have the knowledge and skill to help someone when they need help.

5) My mantle clock.

My husband got it for me for Yule last year. It’s dark blue, simple and beautiful. It sits on my television and every time I look up there, I smile again.

First, tools. 6 months ago
