In an effort to be more productive this year.

I heard about Motivated Moms through my friend, Stephanie, on Facebook. It's a system that works for her and it looks like something that will work for me, too. So I downloaded the spreadsheets (they were $8 for the whole year), cut them to fit the small notebook that I already had, and (of course!) had to make a cover for it. I hope having a pretty cover on it will force me to actually USE it! Ha!

I was also SUPER excited to use the Honey Bees stamp set by Papertrey Ink. I purchased this set when it came out over the summer. And I LOVE it, but never actually USED it! *blush* While cleaning and organizing my craft supplies recently, I discovered that there are actually several stamp sets that have never been used. Shameful! I always tend to gravitate toward the sets that I am already familiar with and ignore the ones that require a lot of CREATIVITY to use. So it feels good to be using a "new" set.

I was really excited that they have the option to buy the chore lists with a "read through the bible in a year" plan. With it only being the 5th of January, it shouldn't be too hard to catch up!

Alright, now I'm off to complete today's tasks! I'm not going to worry about the Sunday tasks - if I try to play catch-up, then I'm bound to not do it at all! No need to overwhelm myself! *wink*

It looks SO much like the control journal I started for Flylady, but even better! I want to see it in person! ... Mom

What a cool idea! I love how you made your own cover!

I've really got to check this list thing out. I'm trying to read what kinds of things they have you do everyday.
