Interactive! 7 Things for 7 Days || July

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">W.O.W! When I started this last month, just saying, 'hey, wanna join me in a bit of self motivation?', I thought a handful of keen beans who love lists as much as I do would. I was not expecting over a hundred of you to write your own blog posts!!! WOOAAAHHH!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So firstly, Yay Us! Yay for our happy little community, where we offer support and warmth and goodness and together, achieve our targets. I think this goes to show that the internet is not only great for shopping, facebook and youtube, but a fantastic way to connect safely with like minded people and work together towards a common goal, which in this case, was little things to make us happy. I feel very uplifted by it all I must say. Oh, and for the lady who said she wanted to get a dozen penguins- you sound amazing! ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll start by sharing all the blog links to those who took part and then I'll tell you what I aim to achieve in the next 7 days. I always aim to do mine in 7 days, but only update once a month, otherwise this blog would become slightly listy and boring! haha!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZgJTY6BjmmZj74GQi-YOgm0lVV9fKOuKXcKZwcKhCyxjqoLSPoh_tuqmgH8Yx_Ns2pmon_m4cB4JHxFg_ck1qN_d7ojxlJ04uRpbIiyjhDj3_sygaTTGQb3igqFRpf-vL0fAj3xJcExN/s1600/seventhingsposter.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZgJTY6BjmmZj74GQi-YOgm0lVV9fKOuKXcKZwcKhCyxjqoLSPoh_tuqmgH8Yx_Ns2pmon_m4cB4JHxFg_ck1qN_d7ojxlJ04uRpbIiyjhDj3_sygaTTGQb3igqFRpf-vL0fAj3xJcExN/s640/seventhingsposter.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Who Took Part?</h3><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">NB: If you joined in but you didn't clearly say you have done so and leave a link on June's interactive post, then please don't be cross if your link is not here. If you had put 'I'm going to join in', I took that as you hadn't yet written your post and so did not accept that link. If you put 'I've joined in and here is my link' then that was clear as day and made me smile. Also, thank you if you additionally tweeted me  your link, I RT'd as many as I could. Yay!</span></i> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"><a href="http://abeautifulperception.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Beautiful Perception </a></div><div style="color: #666666;

Aloha Sprinklerinos, W.O.W! When I started this last month, just saying, 'hey, wanna join me in a bit of self motivation?', I though...

7 Things || My Progress

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you remember last month when I posted <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/7-things-for-7-days.html" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">THIS</a> list of targets that I hoped I would do and enrich my life a little bit? I made it interactive, invited you to join in and I was amazed at the response!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm going to tell you how I did on my last set of goals in this post, and then write another with July's goals and links to everyone who took part. Do try and check out some of the people who threw themselves in and gave it a go, there are some great blogs to be found and friends to be made.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">So how did I do? </h3><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Exercise</b> :: Fail. I went on a couple of walks and did 10 minutes of a workout DVD and that was about the sum of it. I'm actually going to try again this month because I had a lot of my mind in June and I think that led to me feeling a bit lethargic, so fingers crossed I'll do better this time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="640" src="https://instagr.am/p/MyO5P3jtik/media/?size=l" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Instagram snap of a lovely park I take Baby Glitter for walks in) </span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Cook</b> :: Half Succeeded. I have introduced Baby Glitter to a variety of new foods including fish, melon and pasta (from our dinner) which she enjoyed. I had actually intended to cook Matt and I something fancy shmancy, but I have been informed that potato dauphinoise made from the packet doesn't count- pah! I also attempted to make nutella cookies, but unless you have a penchant for bitty, hard, sugar rocks, then they were a fail too. Honestly, I'm not at home in the kitchen! Hahaha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="640" src="https://instagr.am/p/MYuP0tjtig/media/?size=l" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(The awful cookies of yuk!)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Clean</b> :: Success! You know when you have one of those moments when rather than do a quick surface wipe you go crazy and clean every nook and cranny? I had one of those in my kitchen and it felt amazing! I cleaned EVERYTHING. It was really satisfying to see it look so sparkly and motivated me to get cracking on a few other areas of our home. Remember when I did the 'Home Corners' feature? Shall I bring those back again??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="640" src="https://instagr.am/p/MwHsICDtiC/media/?size=l" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Create</b> :: Success! Did you read <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/gift-ideas-for-dashing-dads.html" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">THIS</a> post where I made Matt a lovely Father's Day gift? Since then I have also made a <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/diy-instagram-collage.html" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">DIY Instagram Collage</a> which I enjoyed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="359" src="https://p.twimg.com/Awu-zDfCEAAXIBv.jpg:large" width="359" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Cheeky little snap I pinched from Clare's twitpics of us all on the flume. The flume which broke half way through the ride- good times. Haha) </span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Plan</b> :: Success! Matt and I both took time out to go to Alton Towers with our gorgeous newlywed chums Mark and Clare (video of the day <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwV_4wqWxhA&list=UUfAEEhKikW1676DCa_0OWLA&index=3&feature=plcp" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">HERE</a>). I also got back in touch with an old work colleague and we had a bit of a car picnic and drove around a little area of Northampton both choosing our dream houses together. In the pipeline for the next few weeks I have a trip to Bath to stay with Zoe and Joe for a few days, as well as a swanky hotel night with Mrs Thrifty if she can work her budgeting magic and find a bargainous deal. I have faith in her!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="640" src="https://instagr.am/p/Mvvny9Dti8/media/?size=l" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(This is the window of our library. I know it's a rather odd choice to snap that instead of books but how much does it make you feel like you are in Hogwarts Castle?! That alone makes me want to spend time there!!) </span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Read</b> :: Success! Baby Glitter and I have been to the library no less than 3 times in as many weeks and have really enjoyed it. She absolutely loves big colourful books and we spent quite a long time quietly reading and chatting. Our local library also has a little craft area where she crayons and holds 'Rhyme Time' sessions for pre-schoolers which are a lot of fun. I will do a separate blog post on the books I have enjoyed lately. I'm definitely rediscovering my inner book worm.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="640" src="https://instagr.am/p/Mwc5U4DtvB/media/?size=l" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Does blogging in bed count as unwinding?)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Unwind</b> :: Fail. I still haven't managed to have some proper quality 'Louise Time'. However, this week Matt is going to Liverpool with Baby Glitter for 4 days to see his parents (and her grandparents). This is ideal because Baby Glitter will be spoilt rotten (my parents-in-law even have a little nursery for her at their house with the exact same cot, mattress and musical night light so that she feels settled, wowzas), I will have some downtime and Matt will see his old school friends. Seeing as I don't have the support a lot of women have from their own Mothers, I am always so glad that we have Matt's Mum who dotes on Darcy so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All in all, 'OK'. Haha. Next month I promise to work harder at achieving my goals. The joy of this is though that nobody is going to give me a detention if I don't succeed, it's just a little self motivator and it's up to me to try as much or as little as I like. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll shortly be writing a post on my next 7 Things I aim to achieve and the links to all of you lovely Sprinklerinos who took part in the challenge. Please ensure that you left your link on the interactive post so that I can find you. If you're not listed on there, I can't promise you will be in the blog post. You don't have to be, you might just be doing it quietly without telling me, which is fine and dandy, but if you do, them's the rullleeezzz! ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you motivated by goals and targets or do they give you the heebiejeebies?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <b><a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Confessions of a Secret Shopper</a></b>.
