1. Simplify My Life and Live in the Moment, DO NOT worry about what hasn’t happened yet!
I am working on it I am much better at saying NO and keeping the helium arm down instead of creeping up.
2. Organize the paper piles in the office!!
Well they look much better but it is amazing how going through a pile creates a couple of others. However, my husband and I had a great burning session (i know not environmentally conscious but kids wanted a fire) of items that needed to be shredded…boxes full and recycling the rest of those we did not need. I am now down to one file box of papers that need to be filed plus a stack of kids academic information.
3. Create one digital scrapbook (preferably Ella’s baby book as she is 6 now!)
In April, my mom and I created a digital scrapbook for my grandmother’s 80th birthday. Now that the party is over, this weekend we are creating her birthday book with all the pics that everyone took. I also looked into getting all ~2000 pics scanned for digital use
4. Be a GREAT advocate for my children, even when it seems like I am being an obnoxious mother.
This is my proudest…We hired an advocate to help get our thoughts, questions, concerns across and my son is doing great! Next school year hopes to be a very productive one
5. Research what I need to do to get my teaching credential.
I am scheduled to take my CBEST exam in August. This way I can substitute teach. It is very interesting where your path takes you. I am also looking into becoming an advocate for special ed. We will see!
Thank you for setting this up. It really helps me and every now and then I look back to remind myself what I wanted to accomplish!!!

Hello Kristin- I am also a writing/blogging mom in Manhattan Beach. I am inspired by your blog. Loved it in fact and passed it on to those in the industry as well as moms I know would benefit. I hope it helps. Good luck.
Maybe we should meet sometime. My cell is 412-215-9776 (pittsburgh #)
You can find me on facebook too – along with my blog (just started).
I am sorry to learn Bryn is ill. I knew her mother, long ago. I shall keep her in my prayers.
Please let me know how she fares… if there is anything I can do.
