I agree with you 100% on the kitchen bench thing. A tidy kitchen keeps my mind tidy, if that makes sense! Love the family movie night. Can't wait until Miss A is a little older and we can do this ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749828667611717336.post-56562700543207519472012-04-06T19:56:42.078-07:002012-04-06T19:56:42.078-07:00I love having the kitchen bench tidy!

I really need to do this....seems that months can go past sometimes and life gets too busy to catch up! I've also had to do a few of the challenges out of order but I am getting there and think there is only 1 I haven't managed to complete so far.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058233678021243605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749828667611717336.post-8895569123952755772012-04-06T16:23:27.072-07:002012-04-06T16:23:27.072-07:00You are doing a great job Bec!

You are chipping away at your goals and putting things into place that are helping you achieve them.<br /><br />We read to our kids every night too, so I completely understand how this equates to spending time with them but I also understand the need for incorporating more time with them playing games and having fun. We are working towards this also.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719766275985892863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749828667611717336.post-43890491294487449972012-04-04T22:22:20.844-07:002012-04-04T22:22:20.844-07:00I too think you have done a fair bit and should gi...I too think you have done a fair bit and should give yourself credit for it. Maybe pick 2 of the goals to focus on in April so that you make them happen instead of continuing a focus on so many things. Like you are already doing the stairs and 1 exercise day, maybe focus on adding 1 more. Or lock in 1 planned night with Nigel!<br /><br />I am also struggling with the bedtime thing (and you are ahead of me with flossing since you are trying - i only remember a few times a year!)<br /><br />Deb @ home life simplifiedDeb @ inner compass designs https://www.blogger.com/profile/01966360876083121939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749828667611717336.post-31408507022940471442012-04-03T19:11:04.488-07:002012-04-03T19:11:04.488-07:00I think fantastic progress Bec, I love your family...I think fantastic progress Bec, I love your family movie night idea & the way you do it.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448977724672210750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749828667611717336.post-76358675357672792442012-04-02T02:58:33.146-07:002012-04-02T02:58:33.146-07:00Bec well done, you have done a great job.

You said you havent really put into practice family time, but you have a family movie night - thats pretty great and even better that the kids can still maintain their bedtime!!! Which probably makes your friday night easier too. I think you are doing fantastic, its only been six weeks since we made our 'goal list' thats not an awful lot of time really, so i take my hat off to you, you are doing great :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361565362541276882noreply@blogger.com
