I’ve got a little challenge going on over at WeLiveSimply starting tomorrow – April 1 – April Fool’s Day…
To kick off April we’re starting a Living Simply Challenge – A Fool Month of Purging.
Based on Ross’ challenge from rcThink earlier this year, the goal will be to rid ourselves of the stuff we’ve been “fooled into thinking we need.”
The challenge begins Thursday — April 1 and ends April 30.

Jesus said whatever you do to the least of these my brothers you’ve done it to me. And this is what I’ve come to think. That if I want to identify fully with Jesus Christ, who I claim to be my savior and Lord, the best way that I can do that is to identify with the poor. This I know will go against the teachings of all the popular evangelical preachers. But they’re just wrong. They’re not bad, they’re just wrong. Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in a beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken…. – Rich Mullins
Where have you seen Jesus lately?
When I was in college my roommate and I started a simple t-shirt company – Refugee: Clothing Worth Talking About.
We ordered 10-15 shirts to start off with, but unfortunately they weren’t printed before the end of the semester (when I expected them) so we didn’t sell as many as we hoped.
This afternoon I got the itch to do a few more basic designs and decided to try them out on Spreadshirt.com to see how they do.
I’ll try and add more shirts as time goes by (maybe even bring back a couple of those original designs as well).
You can find them all at casadeblundell.spreadshirt.com.
As an added bonus if you order more than $50 from Spreadshirt.com you can use the code SHIPPEDFREE (for the US) and CADSHIPPEDFREE (for Canada) and get your shipping for free.
Tonight, ABC will show the first “official” episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.
After watching the “preview” episode, I’m really intrigued.

As I’ve mentioned before, the nights Laurie is out and about are always a bummer — but they also give me a chance to “experiment” with new recipes and meals.
(Which I’m sure Laurie’s happy about that — she doesn’t have to pretend she likes whatever it is I’m experimenting with :-).)
Last night was no different.
I decided I’d try something new with homemade pizza.

Reba Kennedy at Everyday Simplicity suggested this past week that everyone needs a laugh list.
I’ve found that all the bad stuff stops me from laughing, and if I start laughing, with even a mild giggle, then those bad feelings evaporate away. Poof! And I’m free to enjoy the rest of my day. Getting stuff done — instead of spending wasted energy on bad emotions/bad attitudes. Casting my cares.
So, as a matter of preparedness, I offer…
So that’s my brief list. What about you? What’s on your list?
