Nov 17 Thankfulness Photo - Journaling

I am thankful for journaling, writing, and dreaming. I am not a talker, I'm a writer (hence the blog). I started with a diary when I was little and then after burning a lot of nonsense I moved up to journaling; I am on to my fourth book now. (The Growlery I, II, III, IV)

I love reading biography's of people in the past, but am disappointed because they are all about famous people. I want to know what people like me did, thought, and felt. I don't have any aspirations of being published, but I would like my children and grand children to know what it was like when I was young. If you want to get started on your own journal you can read my post on journaling here.

I am thankful for dreams and hopes. I am thankful for pen and paper, for doodling. I am thankful for reading back and learning from myself (from what God has taught me).

What do you enjoy doing? Talking over coffee with a friend? Chatting with your spouse before bed? Journaling alone? Exercising and talking with a friend? Taking a nature walk and talking to God? How do you express yourself?

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse&#

I hope you are gearing up for the Challenge, it's only 7 days away! Don't forget to leave a comment below if you want to join us for the Spring Cleaning Challenge. Sarah

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
