10 Goals For This week

The simple valence I sewed for Eva's room.  She has such a nice view from her bedroom!

Last Week's Goals: Family/Marriage/Mothering Goals

  1. Take Elijah to swim lessons.  He absolutely loves going to swim lessons and I really enjoy watching him.  We went and it was very memorable.  
  2. Write a love letter to Brandon.-oops totally forgot about this one!  
  3. Help my mother clean/organize one afternoon this week.  I am so glad I was able to help out this week.
Homemaking Goals
  1. Sew a simple valence curtain for Evangeline's nursery.  I have had the fabric for 6 months now so I really want to check this one off my list soon!  Hooray!  I was able to sew and hang up a simple valence this week.   
  2. Finish compiling all of our receipts and paperwork to file our taxes.  Then drop off everything to my favorite CPA.  This will happen this week!  
  3. Clean out my dresser and closet.  Give lots of things away that I am no longer using or save them to re purpose into something else. -Hopefully this will happen this week!  I did pass along a few things but I have yet to go through each drawer.  
Personal Goals
  1. Eat healthy and exercise 3 times this week.-  I ate pretty healthy this week and went for 2 nice long walks.  
  2. Attend a class on growing a market garden.-This was great!   
  3. Read 5 chapters of Found in Him by Elyse Fitzpatrick who is one of my favorite authors.  I have read two chapters so far and it is great!  There are reflection questions at the end of each chapter so I am trying to read just one chapter every morning.    This book is SO good!  
Ministry Goals
  1. Prepare my Sunday School lesson and learn a new offertory song to play next week.  I am thinking about learning "Forever".  Life ended up getting crazy this past week so I played an old favorite.  
I hope our week is filled with fun moments like this to treasure!

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
