31 Things – April

My list of 31 goals for April. One thing, each day for every day of this month. And I am gonna have to step up my game a bit because this is one of the shorter months.

  29. Wash down my couch and love seat. Know anyone that owns a steamer?
  30. Clean out drawers in kitchen. Organize and purge in anticipation of yard sale this summer.
  31. Start looking at dehydrators. It’s my next big “want” for my kitchen.

There it is. Late again but there it is. My list for April. 30 days. 30 chores. My goal is to accomplish things I often put off or let the everyday chores crowd out. I am loving the accountability and the fact that I am making time for things I want to get done. If you make a list I would love to see it. Post it and leave me a link. If I have enough takers I will creat a list so that others can come and see too!

  1. I really, really researched dehydrators and bought the excalibur (9 tray) with timer. I got the web deal with the 2 fruit leather sheets & book. Then I bought 4 stainless steel racks for when we make jerky I’ve pretty much run it non stop and have had no problems with it = )
