May To-Do List:

1.) Get my sorely neglected Square Foot Gardens into shape.

2.) Continue our habit of Sunday Hikes.

3.) Restock my Etsy shop. (Funds are much needed to support my hippie lifestyle.)
4.) Make my summer calendars.  Every spring I print out summer calendar pages, and block in as many activities as possible. I am an awesome mom in the summer! (Read: much to be desired every other season, ha ha.)

5.) More dates with this handsome guy.

6.) Organize the homeschool closet in preparation for three homeschooled kids. Yikes. (If I keep putting this on the list, one month it will actually get done, right?)

7.) Win the lottery, and visit my aunties and cousins in Tahoe. If only I played the lottery.

8.) Find and make lots o' recipes for my newly acquired nutrition (hippie) plan. Conveniently, my sweetest-ever friend, in a moment of me calling her crying, has stepped-up to the challenge with me. Everyone should have a best friend like this. I am blessed!

9.) Be better about getting my kids to help around the house. Some sort of chore system? What do you all use?

10.) Get up and ready for the day by 8:00. Makes more time for the outdoors!

What are your plans for May? Tell me, tell me.

Ailin wanted to pick out bok choy from the grocery store for you today. What do you think? Tasty?

Let me know when you embark on item #1. Payton will come over to 'search the scene for slithering snakes'.

We do have chore lists for the kids M-F. They help with taking the trash out, setting and clearing the table, feeding the dog, cleaning out the van, picking up dog poop, and then they are responsible for their rooms. We beat it into them that they need to do these things because they are members of this family.........BUT, they do get a small allowance so they can learn to budget, save and pay tithes to the church.
HOWEVER, I can be really bad about stepping in and just getting it down for the sake of time...which I shouldn't do!

Yay...I'm so excited to hear that you're filling up your Etsy shop again :o)! I look every time I'm on there, and although you know I LOVE your two little owl items :o), I can't wait to see what else you create for me! Ha ha. Love you friend! Christine
