This Week's Goals






Happy Tuesday!  I'm back from an absolutely fantastic week at the beach last week!  What an incredible blessing to be able to join my family on vacation.  I'm just sad the happy hubby had to work.  This week is sure to be one of my busiest for weeks to come!  Anyone else feel like the month of May is busier than the month of December?  Here's what my upcoming week looks like!  

 Marriage, Mothering, & Family
1.)  Read at least five chapters of 10 Boys Who Made History or Attack At the Arena.  I did read aloud to the children while we were on vacation but I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of some serious read-aloud time.
2.)  Enjoy an at-home date with the happy hubby where we plan for an upcoming overnight get away!  Eek I just can't wait!
3)  Work on decorations for my brother's upcoming graduation party.  I'm working on a display board of pictures among other things.  I think it's time to break out the Cricut!
4)  Enjoy a family fun adventure sometime this weekend.  We shall see what the happy hubby has planned!

Homemaking
5)  Finish the remaining sewing for a baby shower gift that I am making.
6)  Complete a huge grocery haul after being gone for a week and just squeaking by the week before.  Secretly I am kind of dreading this one but trying to remind myself that there are millions of other mothers all around the world who would be thrilled to trade places with me.

Personal
7)  Read three chapters of Own Your Life: Living with deep intention, bold faith, and generous love  by Sally Clarkson.  I started reading this book on my trip to Florida and I just had to stop.  After reading the first three chapters I knew that this book was a goldmine.  So good in fact that I knew I had to journal my way through the questions at the end of each chapter.  (Even if a book includes questions at the end I rarely take the time to write down all of the answers.)  This evening I finished journaling through chapter one and God is already using this book to show me more about myself and the life that he has for me.  
8)  Walk 70,000 steps this week.

Ministry & Friendships
9)  Catch up with my missionary friend who lives in Mexico.

Other 
10)  Work on designing a flyer to advertise for summer piano lessons.  If you are a local friend please share the word!

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
