I have been on a "get organized/nesting" kick. I thought nesting referred to the time before baby was born - and I definitely did some nesting then - but it is really kicking in now. So to stay organized and not get overwhelmed, I thought I would start listing my monthly goals on here - you know, to make it easier to hold myself accountable. I'll post updates on the previous month's goals and the new month's goals. I'm a little behind the eight ball this month, but wanted to at least document it.
Areas for Organization
Jessi's Closet - WOW is all I can say for the current state of my closet. I want to clean it out and organize. Now that I'm not wearing any maternity clothes and I'm almost done with breastfeeding (going to 6 months - so 6 more weeks) I want to go through everything and purge. I feel like I have a ton of JUNK in my closet that I never wear and I don't want it anymore! Then maybe I'll know what is missing in my wardrobe and I can make "smart" purchases.
Office Closet - My office is also a guest bedroom. And guests have no room in the closet. From the floor redo and the furniture shuffle to make the nursery and my office, tons of stuff got thrown into the closet - you can barely get anything out. So, I'd like to get it organized and also finish organizing all the office stuff.
Personal
Wake up Time - I'd like to start getting up around 6. I've been a bit slow to get back to a normal schedule. Fortunately I work from home, so I don't have to "get ready" in the morning. But, I've been getting up too late and really want to get some things done in the morning (housework, start work, etc) so when the nanny gets here I'm already pressing through the day. I could squeeze in a lunch workout, not feel bad when all I want to do is cuddle JW when she leaves, and maybe even prep dinner in the mornings. All in all I think its a smart move, so we're heading there. (The main thing keeping from this is JW is still taking a middle of the night/early morning bottle)
Meal Plans - We'd like to start planning meals on Saturdays. I feel like we - I mean I - go to the store a couple times a week and I don't enjoy it. So, I'd like to start planning better. Saturday planning would allow us to hit the Whole Foods after church for any specialty items.
Workouts - 30 minutes of something at least every other day. I've been slow to get back in the full swing of things because of my hips. They are about 85% better and I need to get back into the routine.
I think that's enough for the remaining days in May. I'll try to be on target for June!

Meal planning is a total life saver for me! Even when it's just me and McKinley.
Can't wait to see you next month!
Meal planning definitely helps a LOT! We also make a bunch of food for spencer on Sunday so that we're not in a rush after work to figure out what we are going to feed him.
Working out??? Yeah, I should get on that. Getting up at 5 to do it just sounds miserable though. I'm already up by 5:30-5:45 with the buddy, and getting up 30 min earlier shouldn't be that big of a deal but IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!
