My 10 Goals For This Week

I love sunflowers so much that I have them growing outside both of our porch steps.
Don't they make you just want to smile?

Summer is passing by way so fast! Besides having lots of fun here are a few of the goals that I hope to accomplish this week:

Family/Marriage/Mothering Goals:
1. Spend extra time with Elijah one afternoon this week doing something he really enjoys.
2. Head to the drive in for a movie with the happy hubby.
3. Plan a Family Fun day for this week or next.

Homemaking Goals:
4. Sew a dress for my cousin Anna. Sadly this has been on my to-do list since Easter!
5. Garden: Pick at least one row of green beans. Pick squash every two days.

Personal Goals:
6. Write in my journal about goals, plans, and dreams for the fall-especially as this applies my family. 7. Finish Chapter 2 (Job) of my new Bible Study Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament The Wisdom of God . My sweet husband was kind enough to pick this up for me when he attended a conference.
8. Finish reading Answering Your Kids' Toughest Questions: Helping Them Understand Loss, Sin, Tragedies, and Other Hard Topics.

Business Goals:
9. Have business cards printed for my tutoring business.

August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin : I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin. I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God. I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like. This book was a delight to read. I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women. Pure awesomeness! I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience. I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it. I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book! What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Our First Tent Camping Experience

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure. TENT CAMPING! Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family. We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure. It was wonderful. One of the neatest aspects of our trip was the fact that Nina & Poppy Steve (Brandon's parents) were able to meet up with us! (They live a good 10 hours away from us so this was a real treat.) We had so much spending time with them. We stayed at Hillman Ferry Campground and I would definitely stay there again. Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake. I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake. (The closest lake to us no longer
