Our Cozy Home No. 14

Happy Monday! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. Ours was quiet. Caroline came down with something midweek and was still trying to work through it this weekend.

We finally had some sunshine! During the first 32 days of 2020, we had 21 days of zero sunshine. Zero. As in none. For almost three weeks worth of days. I truly prefer a mix of cloudy and sunny days, but it was starting to get even to me. I told David that we’re going to be shocked how long it stays light later in the early evening because we’ve barely seen the sun for weeks and weeks. The lengthening days are being totally missed by us.




But it’s Monday so that means it’s a new week to jump into and time to set some small, measurable goals. Mine are going to be some repeats and continuations from last week since some of these are bigger projects. David and I also have some significant work things to do this week so any extra time I have will be going toward that rather than extra homemaking things.

Goal 1 – Clean out and organize baking and coffee cupboards since I did not get to it last week or over the weekend.

Goal 2 – Continue cleaning out my clothes and shoes, washing things up and organizing.

Goal 3 – Continue organizing and systematizing our digital clip art, papers, borders, stock photos, fonts, etc.

I’d love to hear what your goals are for the week. Feel free to leave a comment and share with us what you are working on  and then come back on Friday to let us know if you made any progress.

If you are new to my site, you can also find lots of inspiration in my shop under All Products for Women.

Have a lovely week!
