So, here it is. My very first attempt at keeping up on a regular blog. There are my other 2 attempts at chicobeadels.com and the homestead blogger, but those weren't as exciting to me as this blog. I had no plans to make it be a regular thing. This blog was inspired by The Crock Pot Lady. She is amazing, and accomplished a huge task. I wanted to do something equally as inspirational and crafty. I have tossing ideas around in my head for weeks, well probably months. I wanted to do something daily, but that's ridiculous for me to even consider. I wanted a fun and crafty name for my blog too, but it seems everything I thought was taken. And taken by someone who doesn't even blog! or hasn't blogged since 2001! Seriously?!? I love to write or at least I think I do. I love to think about the things that I would write. I want to help people like me who are a bit home management challenged. I thought about recipes, chores, just the things I learn on a daily basis, fun things to do with the kids, but I have finally come up with my idea and it goes like this....
My kids and I (and husband) are all domestically challenged. We leave dishes in the sink over night, dirty clothes on the floor, towels on the floor, shoes are all over, clean clothes take forever to get put away, you get the idea. I can't blame anyone but me for the kids. Can I blame my mother-in-law for my husband??? Anyway, not the point. So, here is the task I have decided to take on. I want us to work together as a family forming new habits. 1 a week. Whoa! I know people say it takes a person 21 day to learn a habit (and 28 days for a SHE; I am so a SHE), but we are going for it. My family doesn't know I have decided to do this to us. I am hoping through my commitment to wanting more for us, lots of prayer, and an awesome ever changing reward system we will succeed. It's possible to have a family of 6 that rinses their dishes and puts their clothes in the hamper right?
