- Improve my relationship with my Savior and Father. I have done better though not as well as I would like. I have been much more diligent in working on my Personal Progress. I finished a project and 4 value experiences!!! I noticed a huge difference in my life when working on this. I encourage all sisters to do the same, whether in YW or not. Sister Dalton (the new general YW president) spoke at a fireside in our Stake a year ago and stated that Personal Progess is to be worked on over and over again throughout life.
- Work on scrapbooking each night when the kiddos are in bed to catch up. I started out diligently on this but as I expected, Aiden has halted progress. I will wait for him to start sleeping more regularly before picking this up again. I am almost finished with Grayson's first year, though!
- Clean something in my house each day. I actually have done moderately well here! I have a new schedule: Monday is laundry day, Tuesday is ironing, Wednesday is bathrooms, and Thursday is dusting/kitchen. I might miss a day here or there but I am happy that this schedule will keep my house in decent condition! If you visit, though, don't expect everything to be clean at once!!! :)
- Excercise for 20 minutes each day. I have not done well on this but am starting to do better. I was so big at the end of the pregnancy that walking up the stairs was difficult. After 3 1/2 weeks, I am starting to feel mostly normal again. I started working on the Wii fit two nights ago. I am excited to get rid of fat!!!
Here is one more goal that I am going to add to my list: a weekly program (inspired by my friend at I never grew up...see below) of helping the children learn about different topics. We will have a weekly number (math problem for Grayson), letter (for Alora), word (for Grayson), color, animal, musician, feeling, and artist that we will discuss. This is going to take a lot of effort and I am great at starting projects and then forgetting about them as I go on. This will be different!! I'll post more when I am ready to go!

I started working on my scrap book last night. Honestly I have never felt better. I felt like ME again! I stayed up unti 2 AM and then woke up at 7 to do some more. If you want to come scrap...I would LOVE IT!! Does your ward still have the scrap thing at the church?
good for you! I also have a cleaning schedule adn scrapbook while Zoe sleeps. It helps me stay busy adn keep my sanity. I am proud of you! Keep up the good work.
You are AMAZING!!! I still don't feel like I have a good schedule and Addison is almost 8 months old. I was doing good at exercising until Addison started being awake when Gavin is asleep. Your weekly program sounds good.
Thank you, thank you one and all! Let's just see if I can keep it up. Aiden is, afterall, only 4 weeks old!
Evonne... I have no idea if Linda still does the scrapbooking or not. I hardly go to Relief Society!
That will be so great for your kids ! I love the idea of a different musician every month. We listen to a lot of different music but I haven't really started to explain the actual musician just the instruments. I think I am going to copy your idea if that is ok with you ;)
