1) I went through all of our crayons, markers, & colored pencils to get ready for school this year. I tossed all those that didn't work or were too broken to use. I even have some crayons from when I was a child, some 30 years ago. They were a much better quality back then, weren't they?
2) I condensed our family medical files from 5 hanging file folders to 2. Do we really need 10 info sheets on the vaccinations the kids & all those multiple copies of privacy policies? I think not!
3) I said yes to each of the munchkins at various times this week even when I didn't really want to, whether it was for painting, baking a dessert for the family, or sleeping in the basement (although that one didn't last the night!)

Great job Munches Mom! You already know how I feel about the "crayon" success!!!!
And I just LOVE your number 3.
What a good mother you are:)
Thank you for inspiring me...I promise to say "yes" today.
I echo Judy there - I need to say yes more often...I've been trying to practice that from "Small Steps" too. You always inspire me!
Much love!
Judy - Yes, I do know :) I was talking to my mom yesterday & she still has a bunch more of our OLD crayons in her basement!
ViolinMama - I love the "Small Steps" book. There are so many great ideas to act upon in there!
Colleen - Thank you! I had to change because The Cutest Blog on the Block is going through changes & my former template would have disappeared tomorrow. I thought this fit perfectly w/ my love of reading!
Great successes this week! Congratulations!
oh, boy. Now, I need to go through the crayons, markers, pencils, etc, too. We have many broken ones, that I'm planning to melt down with Rachel.
I wish your medical filing system success could happen here. With 6 kids and one with significant special needs, I need a dedicated room for medical records! LOL
Great work!!!
LOVING the new look of the blog! Congrats on your successes this week. Love #2. Mine take up a whole filing box and a few binders. Bleck!
Have a fantastic week!
LOL... great Crayon success!! I wasn't planning on it, but now this week I'm going to go through all of the dry (uncapped, sheesh) markers and eraser-less stubby pencils.
Thanks for the inspiration and congrats on a great week!
Nicole, Dianna, & Faith - Thank you for stopping by my blog & commenting! It's always nice to meet new friends online!
Mary - Thank you! I think I was ready for a change anyway, so I'm not upset that the company was making their own changes!
FCW - Good luck as you venture into weeding out art supplies. I was amazed at the great help I got from the munchkins, too!
