Fun-Do

I've mentioned before that I'm a list maker. I start off most days with a list. Whether paper/pencil or on my phone, I like to stay on top of things. It doesn't mean that they always get done, but at least it's there. It guilts me into accomplishing things. I'm one of those people that needs to get everything done before I can really enjoy myself. So, in other words, I'm lotsa fun :)

So, I got to thinking...what if we made to-do lists that had things we actually enjoyed? What if our lists exclusively included things that made our hearts happy? What if we didn't have to worry about all of those other chores and we really could just sit back and relax?

Instead of making a traditional to-do list, I'm making a FUN-do list. Things that I want to accomplish over the course of the week that make me happy. Does that mean I'll accomplish everything? Not necessarily, but that's what is great about the FUN-do list. You don't have the pressure to get everything done and it gives you something to look forward to.

Here's my current list in visual form! (a small list to start...my 7 week old dictates the schedule, these days!)

1) Knitting. I am currently working on Otto's head. William and I ventured to the craft store the other day to get some stuffing so that I can begin the next phase. I'm enjoying this project so far, and I think I'll learn a lot about the construction once I get a little further!

2) Painting. Full disclosure - I'm not actually the one doing the painting. (Kudos to mom for that!). This past week, a shade of yellow went up in my family room. Blue is next in my half bath. Thinking red for my kitchen. Love having color on the walls and loving making my stamp on this house!
