This Week's Goals


How was your weekend?  Ours was a little productive, fairly relaxing, and filled with fun!  We all enjoyed our church's annual Trunk-or-Treat and bonfire.  Eva dressed as a ladybug and Eli dressed himself as Captain NBC from American Ninja Warrior. 

 Setting goals helps me to live my life with purpose and intention.  I hope that you are encouraged to this end as you set your goals for this week.  

 Here are my goals from last week:

Marriage, Mothering, & Family:
1)  Enjoy an out of town date with the happy hubby!  We had a blast getting away and out of town for just over 24 hours.  It is so refreshing!  
2)  Attend two therapy appointments with Evangeline and one meeting with a coordinator.   So thankful for the progress Eva is making!  
3)  Take both children on a fun outing one afternoon.  We had originally planned on a zoo trip but it was raining.  We spent a lovely afternoon at the local library picking out a basket full of books and movies.  The children and I also enjoyed playing two games at the library which you can check out while you are there.  

Personal:
4)  Finish reading The Ministry of Homemaking, Teaching From Rest, and Money Saving Mom.  These two books were really good.  I had the opportunity to read a pre-release copy of Crystal Paine's new book Money Saving Mom which is available for purchase as of today!   
5)  Schedule yearly checkup.  

Homemaking:
6)  Schedule family pictures.-Still not sure where we are going to squeeze these into the next few weeks.  
7)  Swap out both children's summer clothes for their winter clothes.  This took forever but I am finished!  
8)  Sew one Christmas present. -I have about 30 minutes left to finish. 

Ministry & Friendships:
9)  Learn a new song on the piano.  I played Cindy Berry's arrangement of Rejoice The Lord Is King yesterday for the first time.  
10) Attend Women on Mission and Trunk or Treat.  Women on Mission was canceled this week but we did have a blast at Trunk or Treat.  The happy hubby and I dressed up as Publisher's Clearing House.  Brandon dressed up in a suit as Ed McMahon complete with balloons and a giant check.  I dressed up in my bathrobe and curlers as the lady at the door who screams, "Oh my!  I'm going to quit my job.  I can't believe it!"  It was lots of fun but we forgot to snap a picture!  Eva dressed up as a lady bug and Eli was a American Ninja Warrior.  

Other:
11) Spend a few hours helping my grandparents.
12) Write two blog posts including one post about Eva's feeding therapy.

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
