It will be simple- just a list that I’ll jot down of things I want to accomplish at home each week. A lot will be mundane : dishes, laundry, clean bathrooms etc. but I’ll try to include at least one thing that is more of a long term maintenance sort of thing. I’m hoping that by publishing a list (and making a more detailed list of “to dos” for myself) I’ll be able to start learning how to be a {Read More}

Do you or your kids have a weakness? I’ve touched on this before in this series, but wanted to come back to it.
