Welcome back to a new week of goals! Last week was really busy but also really productive! I’m hoping for continued progress this week but I also was reminded by a great friend (thank you, Sherri) that I don’t want to be a “human doing,” I want to be a human “being.” I want to be content with life, present in the moment and not so busy doing, that I’m missing the important parts of being present. The advice went hand in hand with my One Word of 2014!
Last Week’s Goals:
Intentional Relationships (Marriage/Parenting/Mentoring/Friendships):
1. Have date night on Monday and write Jason a love note
2. Read with the twins EVERY day.
3. Work with the youngest two doing “momma school” for 15 minutes every day.
4. Celebrate our soon to be 5 year old’s birthday (I bought his presents yesterday so at least that is done!)
5. Spend 5-10 minutes talking to our oldest before bed each night about school, friends, etc.
Intentional Homemaking:
6. Finish making peach jelly
7. Pick veggies from garden and freeze peppers and onions I didn’t get to this but it is on my list for today!
8. Find clothes for the kids for school pictures next Monday
Intentional Self-Care:
9. Continue working on 21 Days To Form A New Habit – reading my bible
10. Stay on track with Weight Watcher’s I didn’t do as well as I would have liked this week. The birthday parties detoured my progress a little but it is a new week!
11. Finish The Cure for the “Perfect” Life and write blog post about it. Almost done!
12. Give myself grace.
Intentional Blogging:
13. Start 31 days of blogging challenge to be more consistent in blogging! I started today with my post of What I Want My Kids To Learn This Year. I was going to use an already determined idea list for this challenge but decided to use my own ideas instead. You will be getting various blogging posts but hopefully for 31 days straight! 🙂
This Week’s Goals:
Intentional Relationships (Marriage/Parenting/Mentoring/Friendships):
1. Have date night and write Jason a love note
2. Read with the twins EVERY day and go through their sight words EVERY day.
3. Work with the youngest two doing “momma school” for 15 minutes every day.
4. Spend 30 minutes after the kids get home each day “hands free” of cell phone, computers, and other electronics. The idea is to give them my undivided attention for these 30 minutes and spend intentional time discussing their day, helping with homework, snacks, and giving them some well-deserved “mom time.”
Intentional Homemaking:
5. Make homemade spaghetti sauce
6. Pick veggies from garden and freeze peppers and onions
7. Find 5 things to sell on Facebook.
Intentional Self-Care:
8. Drink 6 glasses of water each day (this may just be my next habit!)
9. Continue working on 21 Days To Form A New Habit – reading my bible
10. Stay on track with Weight Watcher’s
11. Finish The Cure for the “Perfect” Life and write blog post about it.
Intentional Blogging:
12. Have a post each day for the 31 days of blogging challenge to be more consistent in blogging!
13. Start working on September’s Self-Care Calendar. August is almost over!
What are your goals for the week? Have you written them down? I have noticed with my goals that have been on there about 4 weeks have become habits when I have done them consistently! I highly encourage you to try it out! How did you do with your goals last week?
