Kyndra Needham-Blue 9/21/2017 3:51 PMI really need to de-clutter my home! When we bought it, half the house had a ton of hidden water damage, whilst we fixed the outside...the inside still needs a lot of work done to it to make it livable. It's been three years, this can't be my excuse any longer! I plan to buy another large bookcase so we can get all of our board games off of the floor (and so we can see what we own), and donate a lot of clothing (it's an ongoing battle). We need to find a replacement couch for our living room, and I should finish up my older quilting projects that are strewn all over the place, and actually hang up my quilts on the wall!
We have decided to build raised garden beds int he backyard, because the previous house owners decided to use the yard as a landfill area. The entire yard is chock-full of buried trash, broken brick and glass. I cut up my hand last year, not knowing about the buried shards of glass. Raised beds would be great! I have it all planned out on a spreadsheet.-
Kyndra Needham-Blue 10/16/2017 1:58 PMFor now, we are attempting to flatten out a corner of the yard because we plan to put up a shed (12X16). Once, we get that taken care of, we can move everything out and take care of the inside. At the moment, it feels like a lack of motivation (plus, I don't know anything about construction)! -

Kyndra Needham-Blue 9/21/2017 3:31 PMThe EcoChallenge is a great way to start brand new habits! I'm excited and have already started on my challenges. I made a new recipe for Gluten-free/ Dairy-free lemon ginger scones that turned out amazing. Today, I will be making Carrot Cake Bliss cake balls. If anyone would like, I'd be more than happy to post all of my new recipes that I make every day (and will also probably have leftovers in the breakroom XD)
