Solution Sunday (on Monday!) Update on my Challenges

Well, due to family issues, this is one day late. I am planning to update my challenges tonight, and so even though it's late, here goes.

Well, I am finally getting caught up!! I read chapters 5 and 6. While the Valentine's Day chapter was not really applicable to me (Valentine's Day is past), I think there were some ideas to save for next year. I really liked the chapter about being creative. Since I have had Martha, my creativity around the house has suffered. I used to make the Christmas presents. I used to decorate. I used to always cross stitch. And now? I'm lucky if I get to bed on before 11! I love that she said that this is a season of life that will pass. I will have more time to be creative when my daughter grows up. And one day I may even have my own home again. I appreciate the fact that the author is so easy to relate to! She is a real person, and she gives some very practical idea. I plan on getting the book she recommended:

Beating the Winter Blues: The Complete Survival Handbook for Moms

Okay, I did not finish the challenge for the week. It was too long. I will show you next week. I am working on the same magazine area. When you have 50 magazines to organize (and possibly more), it does take time. I don't want to throw them all out. So for this week, I am continuing with the organizing challenge of the magazine and organizing the area around it as well. I know I am keeping this short. I am going to be glad when I am fully functional again!
