This Week's Goals

I hope to spend lots of time hanging out with this handsome little guy.  
Setting goals always helps me to accomplish more.  Here are just a few of the things I hope to work on this week:  

Family/Marriage/Mothering Goals:
1)  Attend Flower Buds with Elijah and Evangeline at our local extension office.
2)  Enjoy an at home date night with the happy hubby.
3)  Visit the library with my family.

Homemaking Goals:
4)  Sew a birthday gift for my Grandmother's 81st birthday.  I plan on sewing her a bag to attach to her walker.
5)  Gardening Goals: Finish transplanting the majority of the plants for the garden and plant another row of green beans.  (I currently have 5 rows planted in my garden and hope to have 10 by the end of the week!)  We are expecting rain this week so I am not sure how much I will actually accomplish.  I would also like to weed the flowerbeds and plant more flowers but the garden is my first priority.  :)

Personal Goals:
6)  Begin my new Bible Study The Wisdom of God by Nancy Guthrie.  I really enjoyed the time I spent going through The Son of David which she also wrote.
7)  Stay on track with Trim Healthy Mama 5 days this week.
8)  Spend time with a friend.

Ministry Goals:
9)  Mail 3 cards to friends experiencing difficult times.  (Something that has been on my to do list for 2 weeks!)
10)  Prepare and teach Sunday School.

What goals do you have planned 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
