Well, today is the first day of summer, so the Spring Reading Thing is officially over. It’s hard to believe that spring has gone and summer is here. I had no problem finishing up the non-fiction reading list that I posted. I enjoyed each of the books as they all offered various helpful tips on green housekeeping/cleaning as well as green gardening/lawn care. The more we can stay away from toxic chemicals, the better.

Organizing Junkie is hosting her fall 30 Day Organizational Challenge, and I’m jumping on board. The challenge actually started on Nov 1st, so I’m running a little behind. I need the extra motivation right about now, so here I go… The room that I’m doing for the challenge is the Kitchen/Dining Room area.

Fall Into Reading 2007
Posted in Blogging
Fall Into Reading 2007 is a casual, low-pressure challenge. The point is simply to provide motivation to read, and to provide an opportunity for all of us to set goals when it comes to our personal (or family) reading. As a participant, all you’ll have to do is make a list of books you’d like to read (or books you’d like to finish!) this fall. We’ll share our goals with each other, and then share our experience and results when the challenge is over.
