I’m
Jennie, a 45 yrs. housewife, former at-home-mom/homeschool mom. My
husband Shawn works in the IT dept. of a local hospital as a Systems
Administrator. Our children are grown (21, 25, 26, and 28), 2 of our 4
children still live at home. We have a 5 yrs. granddaughter and 3 yrs.
grandson. We’ve spent the last 7 years downsizing our possessions
/becoming rational minimalist along with redoing the house. My home is
over 100 yrs. old and is perfectly imperfect.
I’m thankful that the discarding, organizing, and decorating portion of
my KonMari journey is finished. I'll do a quick look over of each
categories but I'll mostly be following the red portion of the challenge
when it applies and working on my own projects. We have moved onto
projects, repairs, painting, and refinishing the woodwork in our home. I
have a list that’s specific to each room that my husband and I will be
trying to get done. I'll deep clean my house along with the challenge
too.
My project goals so far for the categories:
• Books-Finish typing up the recipes for my Cooking Notebooks.
• Furniture- Paint the grandkids furniture stored in the barn. Purchase table for family room seating area. & Paint
Entertainment center. & Paint the living room and family room.
•
Sentimental- Delete unwanted digital pictures, organize our 6 photo
boxes of printed pictures, scan printed pictures to digital, and update
our gallery wall.
My vision is to be a light and love as Christ loves me. My husband and I
to enjoy our empty nest years with many adventures. To be a blessing to
our children and grandchildren while sharing many family times. Have a
peaceful relaxing home that supports our life together. We enjoy our
home and love to welcome our family and friends.
