20.Buy scrapbooks for Kate and Jeremiah. (I’m determined to do this again. Haven’t touched it in years. But I love it!!)

31.Take more pictures each week of my family and our lives. I have been much better about this. I am hoping to get a small camera for my purse to help me capture our lives more thoroughly.
Well, a few things will have to be added to April’s list, but I got a lot more of the “extra” chores done this month. This list (and posting it here) kept me motivated to get things done. Be watching later this week for my new list for April!
