<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
It may seem a little late in the game, but January as a whole is a contemplative month for me. I like to pray and think about my goals for the year before committing to them, and December is such a busy month I usually don't do it before the new year hits. I mean, there were 54 people in this house over Christmas. Not exactly conducive to deep and pondering thoughts. 😉<br />
<br />
For the past few years I have picked a word of the year that I felt the Lord laid on my heart for that year. My word for 2016 was CHANGE, which came from a preparing of my heart for what I knew would be a year of change! I was facing a new boss, new leadership at church, becoming an Aunt for the first time, and of course by the end of the year voting on a new president.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15665453_1434748256559671_2481485347570045708_n.jpg?oh=ebf009e0db380510989cb2e9497b8a36&oe=594AE6D7" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15665453_1434748256559671_2481485347570045708_n.jpg?oh=ebf009e0db380510989cb2e9497b8a36&oe=594AE6D7" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Change is not something I usually embrace, but I knew 2016 would be a time I needed to learn to do so! And I'm so glad I did, as the year brought even more change then I realized early on. I changed from 2 part time jobs to 1 full-time, and changed positions within that job. So. Much. Change!<br />
<br />
Looking back now on the year, I am thankful for the outcome of each and every one of those changes, but now I am ready to change my focus to 2017 and a year of <i>PURPOSE</i>.<br />
<br />
Why purpose?<br />
<br />
Philippians 3:14 says, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">First and foremost, I want to live this year pressing toward the mark of God's purpose, not my own</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"I want my purpose in life to be the same purpose for which God the Father called me, God the Son redeemed me, and God the Holy Spirit empowered me." -- Pastor Bob Philbrick</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
It's not enough to just sit back and wait for God's will and God's purpose to fall in front of me. I want to be pressing toward that mark! And that requires living my life with purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Secondly, I want to live my life with purpose in a practical way. </span></b><br />
<br />
What are the efforts I am pouring myself into each day? Am I mindlessly spinning around in circles, following every next whim and fancy, or am I intentional about the things I say 'yes' to?<br />
<br />
I often feel as though I am simply flying from one thing to another between work, church commitments, piano lessons, and other things that come up. Amidst all the flying, am I truly doing the best things? Or am I just doing all the things, not thinking about how they are going to affect me or those around me?<br />
<br />
A few ways I intend to be purposeful this year:<br />
<br />
- Spending an hour with God each day<br />
- Setting a monthly budget and sticking to it<br />
- Setting specific goals, something I've fallen off the bandwagon with in recent years!<br />
- Less time on social media<br />
<br />
Some last thoughts for this blogging community...what does purposeful living mean to you? And if you have picked a word or motto for 2017, I'd love to hear what it is.<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will occasionally pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

You may have noticed I missed the party last week...but I had a VERY good reason! I spent the weekend with a whole bunch of my cousins and aunts, and Samantha from <a href="http://motivateddays.com/" target="_blank">Motivated Days</a> was there too! We got to actually chat about blogging and life stuff <i>in real life</i>...imagine that!<br />

It was a fun weekend of Christmas-movie watching, coffee drinking, shopping and laughing. Much needed before a busy holiday season hits us!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But now, lets get on with this week's party, shall we?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will occasionally pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

This has been a big week, because we saw our first SNOWFLAKES!! Now, if you've been reading this blog any length of time, you know snow is NOT my favourite thing. But we have a little family rule that says the first snowfall brings out the Christmas music! So, even though I wouldn't exactly call what we had a snow "fall", more like a few flakes floating through the air and then melting, that is good enough for me. Christmas music is in full swing now!</div>

I don't know about you, but I have been loving this time of the week especially lately, what with all the great fall-related links! Just today I used a link from a recent party and made <a href="http://www.munchkintime.com/super-easy-mini-pumpkin-scones-recipe/" target="_blank">these mini pumpkin scones </a>that are so good! I also made <a href="http://www.hellonatureblog.com/apple-peanut-butter-overnight-oats-recipe/" target="_blank">this super easy breakfast 4 times this week </a>- and up until now I wasn't even an oatmeal person! This party has been so fun, you ladies are so creative and I love learning from you!<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

How I organized one small drawerI'm always amazed at how stuff piles up...junk, really! Please tell me some of you have this problem too?! I try really hard to keep the things I own to a minimum - a kind of minimalistic approach to owning stuff. But still...things pile up so fast!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided it is time to do a bit of fall cleaning. Cleaning up and cleaning out! This can be intimidating, so I started small. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting started! I cleaned out my bathroom vanity's drawer, which is small and a great place to start. Read on to see what made the cut and what didn't (and my favourite way to store my makeup brushes!) and I have an organizing challenge for YOU!<br />
<br />

Here is the embarrassing "before" of my bathroom vanity drawer. Overflowing with stuff!<br />
<br />

I took everything out and cleaned it. I decided to put a pretty piece of wrapping paper on the bottom or the drawer. Not really water resistant, but it will be mostly covered by plastic dividers anyway. And I just love this paper! (Found for 50 cents at a discount store.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been using clear drawer dividers for a while, and I love them! They are easy to clean and I can rearrange them to have a layout that works best. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the dividers were cleaned and re-organized, I put back only the things I am truly using. And wow...I have a lipgloss and mascara problem! 😳 Here is the pile that didn't make the cut and went straight into the trash:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvEDZ28LgecXVd5Z99k_gTd-a6hgJ3Io9PIoYGrvBNGPfbpGGWd8CGvR__x6Q8MHPGQFb2jcLWvSjwJ4HzcJ8mySY9QIUq1gfQmkbsccYTU2OiVY_w4bxQjfV3dyrdZNt02oQYDwaNMad8/s1600/stuff+to+throw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvEDZ28LgecXVd5Z99k_gTd-a6hgJ3Io9PIoYGrvBNGPfbpGGWd8CGvR__x6Q8MHPGQFb2jcLWvSjwJ4HzcJ8mySY9QIUq1gfQmkbsccYTU2OiVY_w4bxQjfV3dyrdZNt02oQYDwaNMad8/s640/stuff+to+throw.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few other things just needed a different home, like some travel-sized shampoo that went straight into my suitcase!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Now it is easy to see everything I need, and that pretty paper showing through makes me smile!<br />

I also took this opportunity to give my makeup brushes a good cleaning. I soaked them in warm water with Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap, and rinsed them well. I<i> try</i> to do this once a month, but honestly it had been a while. :/<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My favourite way to store my brushes is on the counter in a glass candle holder! I got this for under a dollar at Goodwill, and then filled it with glass beads from the pet section at Walmart. (My brilliant cousin tipped me off to this...the glass beads in the fishtank section are cheaper then the ones in the craft section! Who knew!)<br />
<br />
This holds my brushes and eyeliner, is easy to grab each morning, and looks pretty!<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm so glad I did this quick project! It really makes my morning more simple now that I only have what I need on a daily basis in this drawer. I'm ready to tackle another small area and see what else I can get rid of. Throwing things away is so freeing!<br />
<br />
And this is where I'd love for YOU to join me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your challenge is to take on your own small organizing project...I said small! It is way less intimidating to start with one small drawer or caddy or shelf. You'll be glad you did! Clean it up and clean it out, be sure to donate or throw away some stuff!</span> </div>
<br />
I'd love to see what area you choose, so be sure to hop back here and tell me or tag<a href="https://www.facebook.com/soseworganized/" target="_blank"> So Sew Organized on Facebook</a>!<br />
<br />
Happy organizing everyone!</div>

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Flip flops. We've had an unusually hot and humid summer with little rain, so I've been able to live in my flip flops for a change. I have a couple pairs of <a href="https://t.payless.com/search/76754.html?dwvar_76754_color=yellow" target="_blank">these from Payless Shoe Source</a> in white, yellow and patriotic colors and love them.<br />
<br />
2. Dried mango. My new favorite snack! I buy it in bulk at the health food store, but <a href="http://www.melissas.com/Organic-Dried-Mango-p/1354.htm" target="_blank">here is a good organic option as well</a>.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002766V3K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">This 24pk of fine-point sharpies on sale for $10 from Amazon</a>. Not sure how long that is going to last but I took advantage of it! I also selected super-slow shipping (not what it is actually called) and got that for free as well.<br />
<br />
4. My crockpot. I have <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-Round-Slow-Cooker-Red/dp/B00IVPRZH2/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1472609834&sr=8-16&keywords=4+quart+crock+pot" target="_blank">a simple 4 qt. crockpot similar to this one</a> that I used a lot last winter for soups and such, but this summer I discovered recipes like <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/111604896995245242/" target="_blank">this pulled chicken barbecue</a> that makes lunch so easy! Especially since I was never home.<br />
<br />
5. Books and conversations on the back porch. There was family visiting for two straight months and we spend a lot of time on the back porch, eating meals, playing games in the backyard, and having long conversations. Even now I retreat out there as often as possible to enjoy a book and the peace and quiet.<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />
<br />
<br />

Happy Friday, and welcome to another week of our party!<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

Any journey happens step by step, and not all at once. That is also exactly how my <b>healthy living journey</b> is evolving - step by tiny step as resources and knowledge become available. One of the areas I have experimented in is using <b>products that are safe and natural for cleaning and household tasks</b>. I'm excited to share 3 out-of-the-ordinary places I have found that I can REALLY clean without ANY chemicals! (I also share some other cleaning resources at the end of this post, so read on!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzGaku2SG28CNdlcyKwtLghrjhq_0FoJlrrrUaR9zXE8_CrcXycbM76UX3sQQ-XKcBJTdcklYyiU1c6vLW-yEV73RcSP4VWHbIikZoQfaMVCaO7wx9o1PSFf54CstOEBYu3K5sS8cSwXy/s1600/3+Neglected+Areas+you+can+spring+clean+with+no+chemicals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="3 Neglected Areas you can Spring Clean WITHOUT Chemicals...and you won't believe how easy it is! | www.soseworganized.blogspot.com" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzzGaku2SG28CNdlcyKwtLghrjhq_0FoJlrrrUaR9zXE8_CrcXycbM76UX3sQQ-XKcBJTdcklYyiU1c6vLW-yEV73RcSP4VWHbIikZoQfaMVCaO7wx9o1PSFf54CstOEBYu3K5sS8cSwXy/s1600/3+Neglected+Areas+you+can+spring+clean+with+no+chemicals.jpg" title="3 Neglected Areas you can Spring Clean WITHOUT Chemicals...and you won't believe how easy it is! | www.soseworganized.blogspot.com" /></a></div>
You may be a little skeptical, and I'll admit, I was too! Can things <i>really</i> get clean without powerful, smelly sprays and concentrates to kill all those nasty germs? Well to the skeptic I promise you...<b>here are 3 areas that really can!</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. <b>Shower and faucet heads.</b> Use <u>white vinegar diluted in water</u> to get of all water stains and build up with no scrubbing! (You can find all kinds of instructional posts on Pinterest <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/111604896994980962/" target="_blank">like this one</a>.) I recently did this with our shower and tub and WOW! What a difference. We're talking years and YEARS of build up just <i>gone</i> after about 6 hours of soaking. I did run a toothbrush over the jets of the shower head just to be sure and remove any loose bits. I love how it turned out!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Get rid of those <b>spiders and cobwebs</b>! Mix 15-20 drops of <u>peppermint oil </u>in a spray bottle of water. Vacuum away those spiders and all their pesky webs, then spray the peppermint water generously in the corners and anywhere spiders are known to "hang out." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
NOTE: I found the peppermint water was not as effective if you did not clean the area first and vacuum out the old webs, so don't skip that step!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. Mirrors and windows</b> with <a href="http://www.ecloth.com/" target="_blank">e-Cloth</a>. I received a sample of the <a href="http://www.ecloth.com/Cleaning-Tasks/Windows/Glass-Polishing-Cloth-Alaskan-Blue-NEW.html" target="_blank">Glass and Polishing e-Cloth</a> a while back through my job, and was super skeptical. Streak free mirrors with just water? No way. This is one of those "as seen on TV" gimmicks that won't work as good as it is supposed to.<br />
<br />
But, SURPRISE! It does! I can't believe how easy it is to clean any glass surface with e-Cloth's <a href="http://www.ecloth.com/Cleaning-Tasks/Windows/Glass-Polishing-Cloth-Alaskan-Blue-NEW.html" target="_blank">Glass and Polishing cloth</a>. You can read more about <a href="http://www.ecloth.com/how-it-works.html" target="_blank">how it works here</a>. I'm happy to never buy Windex ever again! No more nasty blue fumes!<br />
<br />
<i>(PS, e-Cloth didn't ask me to write that, they don't even know I exist. I happened to get a free sample of their product and am really just that happy with it!)</i><br />
<br />
<br />
There are some areas where a product stronger than soap and water is necessary. I'm not going to stop cleaning the toilet with a good disinfectant cleaner, <i>no way</i>! But even in this case, there are better, cleaner options out there.<br />
<br />
Recently I tried <a href="http://www.seventhgeneration.com/" target="_blank">Seventh Generation products</a> for deeper cleaning, and like how they work! I appreciate that the <a href="http://www.seventhgeneration.com/toilet-bowl-cleaner" target="_blank">toilet bowl cleaner</a> is clear, not blue (what is it with these dyed-blue cleaners, anyway??) and both it and the <a href="http://www.seventhgeneration.com/all-purpose-cleaner" target="_blank">disinfectant, all-purpose cleaner</a> seem to work well with no toxic fumes. I also appreciate that they explain each ingredient used in their products...I try to be an informed consumer!<br />
<br />
(PPS: ^They don't know I exist either.)<br />
<br />
<br />
I think it is important to consider the toxins and chemicals we let into our homes, and consider trying alternatives! Stop to think just how many chemicals float through the air we breathe, and then consider the effect those have on our bodies! Many cleaners and sprays come with warnings on the labels for a reason, yet here we are breathing them in on a daily basis. It is something to think about!<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.maacenter.org/" target="_blank">Mesothelioma and Asbestos Awareness Center</a> recently contacted me about raising awareness of toxins in the home and especially areas where Asbestos might be present. Spring Cleaning can put you in contact with several harmful chemicals, so be aware and be prepared! They have a TON of information in <a href="https://www.maacenter.org/blog/health-wellness/how-to-spring-clean-safely/" target="_blank">this post</a> and also provided this helpful graphic:<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">HERE IS MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:</span></b><br />
<br />
We are all on a healthy living journey in one way or another, are we not? Maybe you are several laps ahead of me or maybe you are just getting your feet wet. <b>My challenge is for you to find ONE - just one! - change you can make to eliminate toxic chemicals from your home.</b> That is where it starts! Maybe you just try one of these spring cleaning hacks or perhaps you throw away all the blue chemicals in your home. WHATEVER it is you try, just try SOMETHING! And let me know, will you? I'd love to hear that everyone reading this is making at least one baby step, because together that is a lot of progress!<br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />

I may have gone *slightly* overboard and absolutely spent more than my usual budget. But a college man has to eat, right? This also gave me the chance to stock up on some things since I had let my groceries practically run out before <a href="http://soseworganized.blogspot.com/2016/05/canada-trip-2016.html" target="_blank">my trip to Canada</a>.<br />

I also tried to make some things up ahead so there will be meals he just has to heat up while I am at work. I cooked up some meat for tacos and also made<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/111604896993212279/" target="_blank"> these breakfast burrito bites </a> from <a href="http://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/easy-breakfast-burrito-bites-for-brunch/" target="_blank">Ella Claire Inspired</a> for an easy breakfast. In the next couple of days I will cook up the brussels sprouts and quinoa as well.<br />
<br />
I don't do much meal planning in the traditional sense, but I do mentally map out what we have for meals and then have a bunch of options for snacks available! Hopefully I can prepare a bunch of this in the next couple days and not have to worry about cooking too much while he is here.<br />

This is where you say, "um yeah Nicole, no way you are going to eat all that in just 6 days time." <i>I know, I know</i>. This way I won't have to plan on shopping for myself the next week. {wink!}<br />
<br />
So there is my week in grocery shopping and food, y'all. Not my typical "save money! eat healthy!" food on Friday post, but a peek into my real life menu non-planning. Now it is your turn to share: did you find any great grocery deals this week? What would you feed a hungry college man?<br />

It had been over a YEAR since I had visited, so this trip was Looooong overdue. It was so refreshing to visit the old stomping grounds and remember how much I loved living in those small, country communities.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures (ok, more than a few!) to highlight the trip:<br />

We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />

In case you aren't familiar with our party, here is the scoop: we like to learn new things, visit new blogs, and see what you all have been up to recently! We just ask that you link back to us somewhere on your site! From the sites that <u>do</u> link back, we will pick a handful of posts to feature.<br />
<br />
I also would love for you to drop a line in the comments section...let us know how you found our party, and what elements you enjoy. Thanks! I love to hear from my readers!<br />
<br />
Want to add another dimension to the party? Share it on social media and tag a fellow blogger that you think would be interested in joining the party! The more the merrier!<br />
