The month of love

I have a challenge for you this month.

We received a challenge from our church to do three things this month that demonstrate love toward someone.

I was hoping you’d like to participate in this challenge too.

My church suggested;

1. Giving time to a family we do not know that well in our church by having them over for dinner.

2. Do something nice for someone in the church family.

3. For us to do something nice for a neighbor.

This may not  be easy for some of you. I was planning on expanding

these to making sure I show a little love to my family everyday. I mean...I already do...but I don't wanna miss a day this month. You know what I mean? I’m thinking it will not be so easy. 

But I’m going to keep a notebook page for the whole month of February noting my little gifts of love given.

I probably don’t need to keep the notebook about what I do, but I want to do this again next year,

so that’s were the notebook comes in handy. Some things I may want to duplicate & other’s 

I may not want to repeat.

Also next year maybe change up a few things, improve the ones that didn’t work so well.

I have been thinking about a few of the Valentine’s gifts people have for a special date with their spouse.

Our typical Valentine’s Day consist of staying at home with the children, just like any other day.

I need a change!!! I really want my family to know how much I love them.

Even though I do not like ‘hearts’ I do love people and want their heart to be filled with love.

Gonna take my challenge? I'll be sharing some of my ideas throughout the month & I'd love to hear your ideas too.

January Office Organizing Wrap-Up

I certainly got a good start on my office organization in January. I really focused on how to handle the current issues of my paper clutter. So all new filing for the new year of 2014 would be handled properly. 

All the year 2013’s papers are in a 3 ring binder sorted & sectioned off according to their topics.

I am feeling so great using this financial binder. I love how I can collect the mail, sort out the bills & put them under the week it needs to be mailed out. Not losing anything this way or eating around the mail pile on the table.

These manila extra large envelopes are not only containing 2013’s kids school papers, but also have previous years. I’ve been putting this off for a long time. Once I’m through all my paper piles, totes, & filing cabinets, then I will review each kids items.

As you can tell I’m not done yet. My office still has a way to go. Although I am going to challenge you tomorrow with “Gifts of Love” for the Love month, I will not stop this time. I am going to do this...You with me? Let's make 2014 great.
