Thank you so much for your post, Laura! Came at a great time. I love the quote "just keep moving". It really motivates you to keep going!

There is a woman whose blog I love and she said she sets a timer for 20 minutes per room. When she is done with one room, she goes on to the next. It helps her to get it done quickly. (How many times have I gone into a room to clean it and find something else to do? Many)

I also love what your friend wrote about how it's not just the little mundane tasks we do all day, we are creating a home and a family. And our kids learn more from us by watching what we do vs what we say.

Thanks for sharing this. I often think like that too...mosltly for when it comes to house cleaning "just keep moving" and I am always amazed and happy that I was able to get it all done... it feels great...but I do like the idea of keeping that same motivation in other areas of my life too. I have not gotten a chance to try making those homemade doughnuts but is still very much in my mental to do list.

I like the "just keep moving" idea. Does it come from Nemo's "just keep swimming?" My mom used to always tell me--"life is full of things you don't want to do, but you have to do them anyway." (Did I sound like Forrest Gump right there?) That one gets me moving.

I was also in Relief Society one Sunday and a sister made a comment about looking at the bigger picture when doing daily tasks. She said don't see things as just doing dishes, making dinner, or changing a diaper. She said that in reality you are creating a home and a family. I think about that sometimes too when I feel unmotivated to keep up with the little things.

I'm glad you're drawing again! I can't wait to see what you create!
