The last 5 weeks we have been doing one challenge a week. Here are the challenges so far

4/13/11 get rid of 10 books
4/20/11 remove 10 things out of your bedroom
4/27/11 reduce your kitchen clutter
5/4/11 remove trash from your car
5/11/11 reduce email clutter

It's not too late to do one of those. Anything you do will be an improvement.

This week is the 6th and final challenge and it is to treat yourself. Tell yourself you are doing a great job and give yourself permission to a special treat. For me, I like to paint my nails and then I feel good. Or you may want a haircut or an ice cream. The important thing is to give yourself permission to feel good about yourself. Here's an article written with moms in mind.

Mom, Look After Yourself
As women and moms we tend to give out and if someone gets neglected, it’s us. It’s important to look after ourselves first and then we are able to better help others.
