Normally I am not one to set “goals” for the up coming year. No “New Year Resolutions” for me. I am simple. I am boring, and most days I am just happy to putter along. I make lists. I make plans, but with life the way it is I don’t usually set goals and definitely don’t make resolutions.
THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT!
THIS YEAR I am setting multiple goals; some will be hard and others will be easy.
I have decided it would be wise t0 share my goals for 2016 with everyone, ask them to motivate me and help me stay accountable. (Yep, there is that word again. You will see it a lot at Treasured Tidbits in 2016.)
I will be sharing updates on our goal progress, as well as sharing tips and pointers on how we are accomplishing some of them. Such as saving $5,000-$10,000 while paying for two newly installed wood floors, paying off multiple medical bills, controlling the chaos we call paperwork and a house, and getting a handle on our health.
I hope that our ups and downs, tips, tricks, and mistakes may inspire you as well.

Week 3
8 Weeks to a Cleaner, More Organized Home
The Dining Room
Way to go!
You have made it to Week 3 and you have a cleaner and more organized entry way and living room to show for it.
Now it is time to tackle the room that is very often the “catch all” for loose papers, odd items and anything else we tend to not have a home for.
The Dining Room
TIP:If you do not have a dining room please pick another area of your home to work on. This will help keep your momentum going and help you stay on track OR back up and catch any items you missed in the previous areas.
As always we suggest you start with the basic assessment list and removing ANY items that do not belong in this room.
Clear the table, cabinets, floor and shelves of ALL unnecessary items.
For some of you this may take 10 minutes and other may take an entire day or more.
Just remember that ANY progress is progress.

I wrote this poem shortly before my grandfather’s anticipated passing and decided to share it on the one year anniversary of his death. It doesn’t even begin to share the love, guidance and faith he provided our family with, but it did give me a way to vent my emotions during a trying time. There isn’t a day goes by that Grandpa doesn’t come to mind, visit my dreams or whisper in my ear (not always so quietly). He was a an important part of my life and left his mark on so many, in both our family and community. I realize this is a bit off the path of my usual posts, but this post and poem were written for me and anyone who knew him and wants to remember him and the AMAZING man he was.
