I had a great week!! I hope you all did too!
I am finding that setting smaller goals really is helping me stay focused!! I LOVED all the tips on cleaning out my closets - and I think - seriously - I incorporated them all!! I took a couple of pictures of tops that I loved, but never wore - and off they went. I saved some shirts to make a T-shirt type quilt, and I flung with abandon. Only the shirts though - I don't want to go crazy! 2 bags of shirts ( good ones, the yucky ones went to the barn) are on there way to a new home!
By making my piecing time a priority - and telling my family that it was important to me this week - really helped! I didn't feel guilty when I had 10 minutes, if I sat and pieced, versus cleaning the kitchen ( or some other cleaning task)
And!!! I got a lot done! I have string blocks ready to be trimmed, I added blocks to my Jacob's Ladder, AND!!! I have finished two steps of Patchworktimes.com ' s quilt a long
I am still trying to eat healthier - I have found that some days 2 salads is too many - so... I will try to add more vegetables thru - out the day!! My whole family loved my 2 fruits per day thing - but you all.... that is 10 fruits a day!! Holy Cow!!! when a person checks out with that much fruit.... they get funny looks!!!! ( I only shop once a week!)
This week - some things that have been bothering me are taking front and center. My car - has 4 cracks in the windshield - I want that replaced... and my Ranch Truck - one of the door handles collided with something... and it won't lock. Both of these require trips to town - so I think I am going to focus on that. It's not big thing - but they are annoying things to me!!
Remember - I also love to hike...so I drug the family along yesterday and we went to Rocky Mountain National Park... oh my - it was still snowpacked - and we LOVED it!!!

Sounds like your happiness project is working out well for you. Love the picture in the snow, especially with son #1 in shorts!
I'll bet there were snowballs thrown! and lots of laughing.
Some fruits that are really big will count as 2... they could be cut in half and shared. (Results of a counting carbs class from Kaiser. I'm diabetic.)

UH...what's up with the one lone child who has shorts and a t-shirt on?! Everyone else looks pretty bundled. HA
Congrats on getting things done that you want to get done! JACOBS LADDER! JACOBS LADDER! JACOBS LADDER! LOL
