Yay! New 10 Days, New Goals!
1) Continue No-Buy of anything beauty related (makeup/skincare/perfume/nailpolish). I've only slipped up once so far, and managed to turn 3/4 of what I bought into a gift for someone else, AND I'm adding one thing from my stash to make the gift 4/4!
2) Continue to use stash! I've been doing great with using skincare, but I definitely need to do makeup more (even if I'm not doing anything more than picking the kids up from school that day!). I need to see makeup as more of a fun, relaxing thing. Plus the more I do it, the better I'll be! So my current goal is skincare EVERY DAY, makeup at least 5/10 days, and paint my nails at least 3x.
And now for the house! I'm sticking to 5 total house goals, which worked much better for me in days 21-30.
3) Finish that cursed Spare Bedroom & Closet. I made great progress this time, and I'm about 80% done. My goal is to finish it and NOT let it get turned into the upstairs dumping ground anymore!
4) Re-clean kids' room & closet. The bunk bed drawers are unfortunately not quite enough storage for their winter wardrobes, so I'm going back through and removing any shirts they don't regularly wear (honestly my 5-year-old has a rotating tshirt wardrobe with dinosaurs and superheroes and WILL NOT WEAR anything else without a fight, and I refuse to fight him at 6:30 am every day!). If they wear it regularly, it can go into the drawers. If not, I have to find a way to either store it in their closet, or donate it. There is no reason to keep clothing they don't wear, unless it's a few "dress-up" type outfits that we need occasionally.
5) Sort toyroom. I do NOT have to clean it yet (next time! that will be next time!) but I need to go through while the kids are at school and pull out all toys that are way too young for them. They do not need baby toys hanging around! All age-appropriate toys will go into 4 bins, and we will rotate the bins every two weeks. For every toy they bring in, they have to donate one they already have. If the dog chews up/damages a toy, then it will be thrown away, and not replaced. They need to learn to take responsibility for leaving stuff where the dog can get it.
6) Living Room: I've been doing a good job of keeping it "picked up", but there are a few areas (TV stand, end table) that end up as catch-alls for STUFF. I want to get these areas clear, come up with a plan for storing the boys' video game figurines (Skylanders and Super Smash Bros), TV Remotes, and board games. Then I'd like to implement a new furniture arrangement!
7) Husband's side of Office and Closet. I've gotten mine organized, he comes home tonight, and he's getting his areas organized next week! Muahaha. I'm listing this as a goal because I'm pretty sure I'll be putting at least a few hours in on this.
Sounds good for now! Of course, all goals are subject to change, update, or complete abandonment if I deem necessary for my health or sanity! Good luck ladies! I can't wait to hear what you all have planned!
