I love the freshness of a new month, and the feeling that anything is possible. Here's what's on the list of projects to tackle for May!

• Sell another $100 of items on either eBay or my local Facebook swap site. 
• Finalize our decluttering & organizing in the new house

2) Family - Spend more time together as a family!

• Do a minimum of one fun activity/month with the kids. This can be family puzzle night, cooking dinner together, board games, going out somewhere, etc.
