    One of my favorite challenges was to cook new recipes. So far I've made tacos, salmon and salads using new recipes.

    I'm trying to eat healthier and lose some weight, so this will be a good time to really commit even more. I also look forward to getting more exercise. 

    I'm going to declutter my home and donate these items to a friend who has lost most of her possessions due to a bad domestic situation. She and her three boys can really benefit from these items. 

    I am carpooling with my nephew 5 days a week. I pick him up every morning and drive him to work on my way to my job. He's unable to drive right now due to some health issues. 

    I'm replacing my plastic containers with glass as they need to be replaced.
