The Developing Housewife: Last Pre-Challenge Task...

WE DID IT!!!!! We have done all our "Pre-Challenge Tasks" to prepare us for the next 4 weeks!

How did you go today setting your Goals?? Mine took me a little while to do. Thinking of 'goals' is kinda hard when put on the spot, but once I got started it just came out! Then it started to turn more into a To-Do List, so I had to stop - and have now created a To-Do List too!! HAHA

Here are MY Goals:

I want to feel happy, Calm and Relaxed while at home
I want to spend more time Sewing, Scrapbooking and baking with the kids
I want an area of the home where I can put a desk
I want to organise my pantry and hallway cupboard
I always lose everything! {but especially my phone}
Something I don't need any more, but have trouble parting with: My kids' baby clothes, toys and 'stuff'

I also added these to my Goals List:

Become more organised
Get through this Challenge
Maintain my home once Challenge is over
Make and Implement a Home Management Binder
Keep the kids involved and make sure they do their chores
Print and Display our wedding photos

Added later by Mr Mister so not pictured
Date Night

My Goals

I also got my sorting boxes done! I had some plastic 50 litre tubs making a mess on the back patio, so thought I would use them! I even made some labels!!!

What do you think?

I laminated them and stuck them on with sticky tape. I was going to just write on some paper with a Sharpie, but figured I would be more inclined to use them if they were pretty! Cuz I'm a girly and and that's how I roll!!

As a little thank you to those of you that are joining and supporting me on this journey to discover my house, I have given you links (further down) to download and print these labels for yourself {if you would like to} !

No excuses now!!! All ready for Challenge 1!!

I am really looking forward to the Challenge, maybe even a little excited, but am slightly anxious at the same time! I mean, what if I don't get it all done? Kat {The organised Housewife} says, that's its perfectly fine if unable to finish, just do as much as we can manage, yet I would feel a sense of failure if I weren't able to get through it....

There is a printable for Day 1, The Day 1 Checklist. Download and print it now so you will be prepared for tomorrow!! I will also implementing to new routine tomorrow, which means a bright and early start for me! As soon as this gets published I will be heading to bed {but I'm not tired yet}. I apologise its so late, I have had a few Internet issues, and interruptions whilst trying to get this written...

Well good luck everyone {and wish me luck} for a productive Day 1!! My kitchen is a BOMB SITE!! I haven't even done tonight's dishes, so tomorrow will be full on! I'm not looking forward to taking and sharing the "Before" photo *gulp*.
