I don’t feel like I got much done this last week, but after looking at my goals list, I’m feeling quite a bit better about my progress! My house is a mess so this week as I’m working on our 31 Days Of Organizing & Decluttering Challenge, I hope that helps the problem! How did you do on your goals last week?

Great job knocking out your goals! Are the things you sell on FB things around the home or things you buy specifically to sell?
Thank you! Yes, it’s just stuff around the house. Last week I sold some homeschooling items I wasn’t using, some of the boys’ jeans they’d outgrown, stuff like that! With 5 kids we have WAY too much stuff around here!
How do you go about selling on facebook? If I posted something to sell, I am not sure my “friends” would appreciate it! And my friend list is much shorter than a lot of people
There are several online groups in my area that people either invite you to or you can request to join. For example if you lived in Lincoln you could do a search on Facebook for “Lincoln area exchange” or “Lincoln buy/sell/trade” you might find a group to join. I list my stuff under these groups, not under my personal page. I agree, my friends probably wouldn’t really care for it either 😉 Does that help you at all? I’m happy to help. Obviously if you do this, use common sense with people, don’t meet them at your home, I always meet at a neutral place like Walgreens or a grocery store, etc.
I love your list of goals – bravo! I’m gathering things to sell on Craigslist/FB, myself. I love your goal of only working on blogging during the allotted time – that sounds like a fabulous plan. I think I should try that, too! Hoping you have a wonderful week!
You did much better on your goals than I did! http://slackersaver.com/2014/03/goals-for-the-week-11/
You did great on your goals last week! Hope they go well this week. How is Blog at Home Mom? I haven’t read that one yet. Love that you have handwritten cards on your list. I want to send a little package to a couple friends, so that will be showing up on mine hopefully sometime soon. I used to write letter and cards all the time but have slacked off.
