I hope to be able to share my family's progress over the next few months.
Please do share, if you are able - I find it so motivating! Thank you for those links. While I missed our deadline of chld #5 being born last Sept., we are now 7 people in about 1200 poorly laid out square feet and I need to be ruthless, still! :)
ReplyDeleteAmy, I will definitely share. I should have mentioned you above, as you have been a great motivation for a couple of years now.
ReplyDeleteOh, Christine - I couldn't be more delighted to know that my efforts are helpful to motivate someone else! Motivation is such a hard thing for *me*!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing about your progress! I am also intrigued by your reading list!! Now if I could just get myself motivated again! LOL!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this, too. We're about to have a little on in July and our 1400 sq ft house is chock full of junk. RUTHLESS!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot take full credit for the reading list. Some of the books were recommended by you, Danielle, and Elizabeth. Thankfully, our library has all of them, so I will not be adding to our book collection.
