My “One Word” for 2014 is the word, present! Therefore, each Monday I list my intentional, present goals for the week. My goals are broke down into relationship, homemaking, self-care, and blogging.
Last week we were on the go between swimming lessons, VBS, and ball games so the week whirled by very quickly. I’m looking forward to a new week with less activity and more family time!
Last Week’s Goals:
Intentional Relationships (Marriage/Parenting/Mentoring/Friendships):
1. Have weekly date night with Jason & write love note
2. Complete 3 days of summer school with the kids.
3. VBS for oldest and youngest. Swimming lessons for the middle kids (This was a bummer because they are at the same time. The oldest has finished swimming lessons and youngest is too young to start so they are doing VBS while the others go to lessons).
Intentional Homemaking:
4. Water Garden
5. Help oldest daughter complete 1 4-H cooking projects
6. Make list of educational plans for next week & buy any items needed
7. Mow everything…last week all I got done was the yard
8. Put together tornado emergency kit– I got about part of this done. The FEMA list was quite large so it will not happen overnight but I’m going to continue to work on this for the coming week
Intentional Self-Care:
9. Read 3 chapters of Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives
10. Take 5 walks, complete June Self-Care challenges, drink 24 oz of water daily, and eat fruit for snacks. I was able to do most of this list. My walks didn’t happen like I was hoping and I still need to eat more fruit and veggies but small steps!
Intentional Blogging:
12. Write a post on emergency planning/kits
13. Complete the first blogging challenge I set for myself last week- pin 15 posts to Pinterest 3rd week’s the charm…I hope!

Intentional Self-Care:
9. Finish Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives I’m really liking this book. It’s really making me evaluate how busy we are, our possessions, and how our culture is not taking time to nurture family and relationships, but instead pursuing progress..the bigger and better all the time. Very thought provoking.
