Hey everyone! Four days since last time. Some would say that I am still no consistent wih my writings, but I am here to tell you otherwise. I have decided that I will write on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. I have even written it down in my school- journal and on our weekly plan.

I do have two journals I write in and one weekly plan. One of the journals are for school and appointments, and in this one I write up my classes, syllabus, doctorsappointments and that sort of thing. And I do keep it in my purse so I can go and check if I have any appointments that week or day. The Other journal is for my most private toughts and feelings. Even Kim Ove doesn’t know whats written in there.  On the weekly plan goes all the things that are planned that week both for me and Kim Ove. This way I will know when Ki Ove is busy an he will know when I am busy. We also write up what we are gonna have for dinner that week, and on which day I will bake and so on and so on.

Some of you would wonder what this has to do with my journey to an more elegantlifstyle and here is my answer. With me planning my weeks ahead of time, I have more freedom to do other stuff, like sew which I love, I get to be more in the moment rather than be somewhere physically and another place emotionally. Wih this I mean that we all have an tendency to keep thinking about all the stuff we should be doing. Like laundray, dishwashes, dinnermaking, cleaning the house. All this is something that we always think about, and it’s nothing wrong about it. But we tend to miss out on so much. So I have figured out that if I plan it all then I would not think about it and I will get back those moments.

We plan dinner for two weeks at a time, and then we groceryshop once every two weeks (unless we suddenly need milk, or toiletpaper or something like that), this way we don’t have to think about dinner or groceryshopping every day, it’s all done and we only hve to actually make it. We don’t have a dishwasher yet (we are remodeling the house) so we do the dishes right after we are done with eating dinner. This way it will be done quickly and we get to do other stuff and not be thinking of the dishes. We also have one day a week for laundray, and that day is sundays. So right now I am sitting at my desk writing here and waiting for the last load of laundray to be finished in the washer so I can go and put it in the dryer. I have allready washed two loads of laundray.

I’m not really sure of what else I have to write about today. Oh yeah, I have written so much that I think I lost my point with this post. Haha.

Well, my experience (with help from Tonya Leigh and French Kiss Life) is that if you plan your day, your week and even your month you will get all this freedom and space to do all the things you want to but never seem to find the time, space or mind to do. With this planning I am more committed to actually write here, I’m more committed to do the laundray sundays, bake on those days I have that planned. And all the other days, or when I am done with todays task I no longer think about it, I have all this extra time on my hands and I love it.

Love Emilie ❤
