Facing Your Goals In Black & White.

We've all made choices to live better. Whether that's how we eat, exercise, pray or love...the fact is there's a great distance between "going to" and "doing so". In our household we've found that making our decisions visible can be quite helpful in getting from here to there.

A weekly plan removes the daily question of, "What's for dinner?"

Keeping your decisions in front of you hold you accountable.

We bought a thin piece of board, chalkboard painted it and screwed it to our pantry door.

A Fresh Stir Fry

Culture begins at home and is often shared over meals. Manners, faith, conversation, lifestyle...all cultivated around the table. We share our table most often with 3 kids and it isn't always pretty. But we do try to remember that as we share our table we're teaching culture through what we present.
So we try and present something good.
Farm fresh is a great place to start and is tastier and easier then you may think.

Public Storage.

Storage doesn't have to be dark and dusty. Try taking back an area of your home that you frequent but would never want anyone to see, i.e. a closet or "that" drawer, and make it something you'd take public. Seek clean, open solutions rather than hide and hope for the best. You'll feel better and may just inspire some change elsewhere.
