Week 1……10-Week Challenge

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

For week 1, I have been creating a rough draft of my daily schedule using this template.
Week 2, I will use this template to tweak and fine-tune my schedule.

During Week 2, I will also make 1 blog post and re-start my focus on food tracking & intake, aiming for Blue Dots 5 out of 7 days. Blue Dots are a Weight Watchers thing. You get a Blue Dot for eating in a healthy range.

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?

Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

No Excuse November Day 12: Sharing Saturday & Sunday!

Weekends are made for sharing!

I’m just stopping by to share my tracker and what I’ve been up to today!

Week 2 is going well!

So far, I am keeping up with my habits. Yay! Every time I check one off, I know I am one step closer to my goals!

Today started out very slow motion. Breakfast, reading, a load of laundry, reading, lunch, reading, LOL, then we went to the movies!! We saw Wakanda Forver. Now I’m home about to watch a Hallmark movie 📽 🎄😌!

How did your week go? Are you working on any habits or goals? How did your Saturday go? Anything exciting going on this weekend?

Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 29: Spooky Saturday

For our last Spooky Saturday of Blogtober, we will talk about the Winchester House……..

Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester House: There are lots of stories surrounding this house that can never be completed. Sarah Winhester, heir to Winchester firearms, bought this large house and began renovations immediately. Legand has it that work continued 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and only stopped after her death. The reasons she insisted on this continuous work being done on the house differ. The most popular store is that the ghost of people killed by a Winchester firearm would show up and need somewhere to live, so she was building them rooms.

Have you heard this story before? If so, why do you believe she continued building on the house? There is a movie, too!, have you seen it? I guess he house offers tours too. https://winchestermysteryhouse.com/sarahs-story/

Be peaceful,

Blogtober Day 22: Spooky Saturday

Today’s spooky saturday story is the one that inspired the Child’s Play movie.

Robert The Doll

In the early 1900s, Robert the Doll was made by a servant and gifted to Eugene Otto. Eugene and the doll were initially inseprable and said to have a freinship that would last a lifetime. It wasn’t long before things got strange, and it was thought the doll was cursed with Vodoo by the servant who made it.

The parents were awakened one night to Eugene screaming and the sounds of furniture moving, only to find the boy curled up on his bed and Robert sitting at his feet. On other occasions, they would pass the boys’ room and hear him talk to the doll and hear the doll respond in a different voice. They soon locked the doll in the attic but would see him in the window of the upstairs bedroom.

After Eugeen passed away, the new owners of the house had a 10-year-old child who was excited to find Robert. Unfortunately, Roberts reign of terror continued. Robert The Doll now lives in a glass case at East Martello Museum.

Are you familar with this story? We watched the Child’s Play movies growing up, but I never knew they were inspired by this story? Now I want to visit the museum, how about you?

I would love to hear your favorite spooky story!

Be Peaceful,

~Nettie
