I would really like to extend to 4 weeks, especially since I need to do so many of the challenges.

Ok, I just wasn't sure. A lot of people drop out after the first week. As long as there is interest I will do it.

I'm in for 4 weeks I'm not getting tons past the "daily" done, but I'm so bad at those regularly, it's been super helpful!

Re: HBC "sprint" Week 2 (May 26-June 2)
Me too. I think my goal will be to do one of the sprint challenges every weekday for the next 3 weeks, and 2 of the "family time" challenges per week. That way we can get everything done.

Yesterday we went to the city with my sister so not a whole lot got done. Today was different though, we cleaned out our "shack" and the garden shed.
