Well, I have been trying to build these new habits for about 3 1/2 weeks. Some are coming along slower that I had hoped, but you know what they say, "Slow and steady wins the race!"
First, I have decided that I am going to start cleaning with natural, homemade cleaners. That way Breanna can help, and I don't have to worry! So, I have already made a spray for the kitchen countertops, table, walls, or basically anything! Yesterday I made my own soft scrub, and a vinegar spray for cleaning the bathroom. Then I taught Breanna how I clean the bathroom. It was fun! I think I will like the homemade cleaning products, and I will REALLY like the money I save!!
Second, I have lost a few pounds, but not as much as I had hoped. I am just praising God for the little successes!! Those few pounds keep me motivated to lose more. When I don't see results, I get discouraged and want to give up. So, Thank you Lord for those few!!!
Third, I am loving the blogs that I am reading!! They are so encouraging!! I am working on some challenges from "31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way". I am enjoying the simplicity of them. I hope to have the house out of CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) by the end of the week. Yay!! Then I will move on to decluttering and packing. My niece is coming over next weekend to spend a couple of days to help get some packing done. I am excited to spend the time with her!!
Fourth, I have been making this delicious bread!! It taste almost exactly like the dark brown bread at the Cheesecake Factory. It is so good!! My family LOVES it!! I love making it for them! I will try to post the recipe soon. Also, I have found some ideas about cooking once a month. Although I am not quite ready for the extensiveness of that, I did brown some hamburger, about 6 lbs. I let it cool and then froze it. I can then just get what I need for tacos, spagetti, burritos, casseroles, or whatever I use ground beef for, and have dinner ready in a few minutes! Then yesterday I cooked 6 lbs. of chicken breasts in the crock pot. I shredded it, and it is cooling in the fridge. I will freeze it today and do the same thing with that!! Now when I am tired, I can still make dinner...FAST!!! And easy! I am super excited to see how I like this!!
Well, I think that is about all for now! Have a great week!! God bless!!
