Wanting to incorporate some or all of the above into future projects.
Needing to get some meal planning done.
Hoping to get a little more sleep.
Wishing the laundry would just disappear.
Loving the warmer temps, spring--get your buns in here!
Thinking a lot about my real job--wife, mama, teacher.
Realizing (again) how important my real job is.
Being mindful of my Creator, He is the reason I have peace and joy.

What's on your list?

I am new to blogging, so I hope I can make some headway here. I love your blog! I hope to keep up with it. A bit about me: I'm back into sewing, crafting, crocheting, etc. etc. after many years of raising children--4 to be exact and homeschooling them all the way through high school! Phew! I'm tired! And now I work part time as a church secretary and am still a stay at home mom (MeMa) is my new name for my little grandsons! I really like Amigurumi and am excited to make anything related to that! Hope to learn more about blogging by visiting all the beautiful sites out there!

i'm in the same place...working on embracing the beauty of my real job; listening to the Spirit and SUBMITTING to Him so that I really am following where He leads; taxes, taxes, taxes; creating with the boys; creating for etsy; creating just because. yup. that's where i'm at.

My list is almost the same Toni.Except we always have chocolate in the house! It's on the essentials list for all of us even hubby!
Oh yes and my taxes went in the end of jan so phew till next year!!

Easter dresses
taxes
spring cleaning
alone time with my husband
Taking better care of myself
Believe me, I could go on and on and on.

I try to stay with my both feet on the ground, recalling what's really important. Not being able to find time for my projects. Feeling slightly "behind" in every aspect of my life, but trying to remain with my feet on my ground no matter what.

And again...dinner planning...feeling guilty over that again and again. And the spring is here, and I really didn't have the time to see the crocus bloom against the wall in my garden.

Trying to feel at peace with myself and who I am, my life.

easter dresses and summer shirts are on my big list of to dos at this point. I love the color combo you have shown with the fabric.

Love your new banner! Lists , I keep losing them , lol . And meal planning comes around about once a month, I'm so disorganised. Still the family's fed, the laundry's half done (never whole done!) , and the kitchen is "healthily clean" (thats euphemism for needs a little wipe down reallY!)
Time for knitting , finishing projects and getting to grips with the garden !
Then I must sit down and have a cup of tea.
