Friday Must-Read Rewind

It's the first Friday of the new year, and alot of the posts I've read, or seeked out to read, have had that first of the year encouragement to do well and keep going with what you are already doing well.

• Here is a great list of 7 things to do in the new year to simplify your life and make things run more smoothly.    I was encouraged by this post because I've either just done, or its on my list of tasks to accomplish, everything on that list--except for the bathroom cleaning baskets.  It is such a simple idea, and I really like it.  I'm just not convinced that it would not be too big of a toddler temptation. ;)
• Being frugal has everything to do with intentions
• How a friend saved $1200 in 10 minutes.
• I'm still working on making my personal and blogging plans for the year, and you all know I've been working a lot on organizing.  This a series that ran last year, and I caught the tail end of it, but I'm going to try to work it into my plans this year:  52 Weeks of Organizing
