W.O.W. update...

I can't believe what I will do for coffee... Moving back into our house, minus some important furniture pieces and not able to purchase new, I'm finding this to be a challenge. But, I am an athlete and I always like a good challenge!

I looked around the "office" area today and was impressed that I can see the floor and only have some filing left to do. The bedroom mess was mostly odds and ends and clothes that my husband and I decided to give away or take to a consignment store. So I am in the process of sorting those out and will be taking a large car load to the Youth Ranch this weekend! I love the helpful tip to cover some boxes with fabric - I think this will be a must do for this project!

Oh and did I mention I coach two soccer teams and have a double header this weekend so I have three games on Saturday. Oh and I may have a friend coming into town on Monday and would love to be done by then. If any of you wonder about me - I have a hard time saying no or knowing my limits. LOL.

Good luck to all of those who are working hard on your own goals - it's great to know we can support each other. Maybe as an award for just finishing we should all meet for coffee and plan our next W.O.W. project!

W.O.W.



I have decided to join in on the fun with my friend Beckys challenge. Here is what W.O.W is all about:
W.O.W. stands for Within One Week. Those of us who are playing this week will choose a project or to-do item that we'd like to accomplish within one week's time- Wednesday 4/22 to Wednesday 4/29.

If you would like to join in check out Becky's blog and join in on the fun!!

So here is what I am planning to accomplish. We just moved back into our house and I have piles everywhere! I need to get organized and get this house put together! One major hurdle to overcome is that I sold too many pieces of furniture at our garage sale last year before we moved out and so now I am lacking on storage areas, like bookcases, nice cabinets to hide things and I sold our entire bedroom set! No side table, no dresser - ugh! Oh-well I will make it work!

Here are a few pictures of what I am going to accomplish this week!

The office area: We have a unfinished bonus room so I gave my daughters the actual office area in our house for a playroom and I am turning our formal dining area in the new office. I only have a desk to put in here so it should be clean and look okay. This area can be seen from the kitchen, living room and informal dining so I need to have it look nice but this is what it looks like right now.

My second goal for the week and maybe I'm being a little over zealous but I need the master bedroom to look good to so I can relax at night. I sold our bedroom set so this could be even more difficult without a dresser or side tables! But I'm going to give it a shot!


I have faith I can do this and it will be FABULOUS!!!!
