This Week's Goals


Hello friends!  I hope that your week is going well.  We enjoyed such a fun time last week with all of the snow that I couldn't help but share a fun photo with you.  Sledding ended up being a bit of a disappointment but we had a great time exploring our backyard in the snow!  Can you tell Eli loves throwing snowballs?  We recently moved "to town" but we have the neatest backyard.  Most of our backyard is actually woods so we have our own mini forest and even a creek.  What a blessing!  

 This is our second week back from Christmas break and I'm ready to ease my way back into some serious goals.  Here's what my week looks like:

 Marriage, Mothering, & Family:
1)  The children and I are headed out of town on Saturday for an out of town birthday party!  It's an indoor pool party and the kids are just beside themselves with excitement.
2)  I'm planning on spending some time alone with Eli this week and plan to take him to "Art Club" at the library.
3)  Enjoy an at home date night with the happy hubby on Friday night.  (We had a fantastic time last weekend attending the UK vs Arkansas basketball game in Lexington.)

Homemaking
4)  Help Eli make a birthday present for the party we will be attending.  I had planned on making the gift but he actually insisted that he was going to make it!
5)  Spend 5 hours unpacking and working on different house projects.  This week I'm hoping to tackle the coat closet and possibly hang up some curtains.

Personal
6) Finish my Bible Study on 1 Peter.  I've been working through Jenn Wilkin's study for months and it is wonderful!
7)  Take a class on digital photography.
8)  Read 5 chapters of Good News for Weary Women: Escaping the Bondage of To-Do Lists, Steps, and Bad Advice by Elyse Fitzpatrick.  She's one of my favorite authors and this book has been fabulous so far.

Ministry & Friendships
9) Visit my grandmother.

Other:
10) Organize (and finish unpacking) everything for my piano studio.  I start teaching again next week!

What goals do you have for this week?

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
