I know a lot of people think I am organized, well it’s because I hunt for tips on helping me stay organized! In fact the Conquer Holiday Clutter! Tip is very useful and I have already started the process of weaning out the junk mail. I also sent it to my mother in law who receives about 10 catalogs a day! (yeah it’s bad)

I have a terrible problem with clutter – so I’m making a effort to eliminate magazines by donating them or recycling them rather than stacking them!
I’m finally joining a gym.

no more eating out!
By the end of this month I plan to have switched to all natural cleaning products in every room of my house.
I decided to get organized when it comes to meal planning; up to now it’s been something i tackle last minute, in a frenzy. I spent this afternoon creating a spreadsheet so that I’m prepared ahead of time and to ensure healthy meals.
I am buying exclusively local and organic grown produce this month!
I am moving a little more then I was before. I am eating a little better by making better choices then before. I am breathing deeper and relaxing. Each bit, each action, helps me to get healthier in every way.

I’m rededicating myself to a healthy diet.
I need to find time for myself and control my eating habits.

My work hours have been cut back a lot due to the economy. I’m having to learn to cut all of the fat out of my food budget and really learn to be creative and frugal with my cooking.
We’re eating healthier and being more active in the months when it’s harder to force yourself into it because it’s so cold.
I am trying to lose weight.

We have made lots of changes in the last few months but recently, I have my husband and I carry hand sanitizer in the car for when we run errands and cannot get to a sink to wash our hands. Another change is to cut back on luxury food items like chips and cookies and sodas.

My mom works at the school cafeteria and tells me how much of my kids sack lunches they actually eat. So I cut down on sending a mass amount of food…that is wasted, and started portioning it according to how they eat at home. I guess I was just worried they would be sitting at lunch done and still hungry. My mom reassured me that they talk more than eat and Belle NEVER eats her pb sandwich. So I don’t pack one anymore…why waste it?

This month I am slowing down to enjoy the fall colors, taking more walks and eating more seasonal vegetables.
I have switched to natural cleaning products and CFL lightbulbs.
I am determined to eat healthier and take more walks this month.
This month I’m working on making good use of coupons and lowering my grocery bill as well as eating healthier and drinking less sugar! Organization is definitely something I should be working on!

We are using the holidays & one of our kid’s birthdays to talk more about gratitude, giving back, and what *real* wealth is. Our kids are just starting to earn allowances, so we’re working with them to save — and to undestand how much things cost. These kinds of conversations strengthen the sense that we’re all in this family together — and that we all know how lucky we are to have each other and good health. My kids are helping me with a Food Drive I’m co-organizing at work, too — so it just seems like we’re making alot of effort to stay grateful and in the moment.

I’m volunteering more frequently and reducing expenses.
I’m not making any changes. For me, everything is perfect the way it is.
This month I have decided to give up drinking soda. I heard it’s bad for your kidneys. Enter me please.
Cutting out fast food!
One of the changes I’m trying to make is in my meal planning. I just started back to worth about 1 month ago and with this job I am now home in time to have dinner with my son. Whereas before, he was eating dinner with his nana. So I’m trying to search out some quick healthy meal plans for our meals.

I am really trying to let things go and to just relax, which, for me, is easier said than done. I think that I care too much what others think of me, and now that I am 40, that simply isn’t acceptable anymore.

My husband and I are taking a walk each morning; watching our diet better and are looking for ways to help the environment also with recycling, energy efficient lights and watching our usage, buying some things used and giving things away to people who can use them when we finish with something…we just redid our family room and every item we replaced went to people who had a use for it…other items went to a garage sale to help a family with a baby who has cancer to the items got a new home and we were able to be a part of helping someone. I think part of it is just being aware of the kinds of things that we can do.
