Time for a 100 Little Things two month update! The current total is 7.5/100, which is pitiful, but big things happen little by little, right? Here’s what I’ve accomplished so far:
#4. BAKE THREE NEW KIND OF COOKIES. (2/3 COMPLETE)
- In mid-August, we made Oatmeal Toffee Cookies. I slightly tweaked the recipe with a tad less brown sugar and a bit more flour, used my big ice cream scoop and baked for 13 minutes until just golden brown.
- At the end of August, we tried Toasted S’More Chocolate Chip Cookies. I modified it a bit and just made my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe instead. The kids added the s’mores toppings at the end of the baking time and it was perfect. Definitely sweet, but so good.
#17. CREATE A PHOTOBOOK WITH THE INSTAGRAM PHOTOS FROM OUR 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR.
Last school year, I took a photo every day, showing what the kids made or learned, and posted it on Instagram. IG is a great place to keep them all together, but what good is it if they only stay on the app? I used the Instagram Photo Book from Blurb, easily uploaded my photos, and made a little 7×7″ book in no time. Simple but filled with memories.
#44. BUY A NEW PAIR OF JEANS.
I’ve been in desperate need of a new pair of jeans but always procrastinated because…what if I suddenly lost a lot of weight?! HAHAHA. Since that’s a ridiculous reason (and apparently not happening anytime soon), I found and bought a pair of Kut from the Kloth skinny jeans on Poshmark in my current size for less than $20.
#48. MEASURE FOR NEW (NON NURSING) BRAS.
This took more time than I planned. It was a little hit or miss – I used three different infographics online and got three different sizes! Thankfully, I finally found the right fit, but I think I may go for an in-person measurement next time.
#55. HANG A GALLERY WALL OF KIDS ART IN THE BASEMENT STAIRWELL.
We’ve had these Ikea frames stacked in our coat closet since we moved in last June! I finally dusted them off, replaced a few art pieces with more recent ones and hung them up. It took less than an hour. Such a satisfying project and bonus, it was free!
#57. FIND A LAMP FOR THE HALLWAY CONSOLE TABLE.
After browsing for months, I found the perfect little white ceramic lamp for the hallway – and it was on sale too!
#68. BUY NEW DRYER BALLS.
My previous set of dryer balls somehow didn’t make the move last summer. I’ve had this task on my to-do list since we moved in and am so happy to have finally made it happen! I ordered these dryer balls and have been pleased so far.
#89. BRING SOPHIE FOR HER K IMMUNIZATIONS.
Since we’re homeschooling, I had been dragging my feet to get this accomplished. She was terrified, but so brave!
