It’s the Final Finish It Friday…
…for a while anyway. Let’s send it off with a bang, shall we? If you’ve never joined me for Finish It Friday, I invite you to participate this weekend. There’s not much to it. You simply post your to-do list and your play list in the comments section of this post. Then, check in on Tuesday morning (due to the holiday on Monday) and let us know how your weekend went. Easy…and yet it’s incredibly motivating when you go public with your intentions. So what do you say— are you in this weekend?
I, of course, am in. Here’s what’s on my lists this weekend…
Play List:
- Boot camp.
- Go to Gypsy Caravan. (And hopefully find some treasures!)
- Do something else completely relaxing.
- Talk to my kids about creating a list of things they would like to do this summer.
To-Finish:
- Clean.
- Plan meals for the week.
- Laundry.
- Do some work in my office.
- Fill out summer camp forms. (These aren’t due until late June…but I’d like to get them done and figure out everything we need to buy and get organized before the kids go to their camps. It seems like there is an incredible amount of paperwork to do!)
- Plant some more herbs in my garden. (If it’s nice…and if there’s time.)
Let the games begin! I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with fun and getting things done. I look forward to hearing what’s on your to-do list.

You have inspired me with your Boot Camp success. I just found something similar in my area (finally!), and am going to start tomorrow morning. You sparked something in me the first time you listed Boot Camp, but the steady drumbeat in these weekly emails really tipped the scales.
