This Week's Goals & Recap


Happy Wednesday!  I hope you are squeezing lots of life out of this week.  We have been having such a fun, full week.  Here's what we have planned for this week and a recap.  

Last Week's Goals
Marriage, Mothering, & Family
1.  Enjoy a great time camping with my family this week.  We had a fantastic time camping at Alpine Hideaway Campground in Pigeon Forge, TN.  The weather was lovely and we were also able to meet up with some dear friends.  
2.  Begin Five in a Row Volume 1.  We are rowing Madeline this week and having the best time!  Last year we worked through the entire Before Five in a Row and it was so delightful.  (Let me know if you would be interested in more details.)  I've always been a fan of the book Madeline and it was such fun to share with both of my children last week.  I'm hoping to share more about our Five in a Row adventures next week.  
3.  Be intentional this week to spend time talking with my husband each evening.  Practically speaking this means staying on top of my workload and choosing to make Brandon a priority.  Bingo.  I love my husband.  I am so thankful we were able to spend some time together especially since this week has been absolutely crazy.  

Homemaking
4.  Weather permitting I hope to spend time weeding and planting flowers in the garden.  Nope.  It was hot so I didn't even attempt it.  I'm such a wimp.  
5.  Spend time organizing financial paperwork and health insurance explanation of benefits.  I worked on this for a little while but I need to put this on my to do list for sometime in July.  
6.  Sew new skirt for Evangeline.  This week?  

Personal
7.  Begin studying a new book of the Bible.  I'm also hoping to journal at least two times this week.  I am starting Jen Wilken's Bible Study on 1 Peter.  I'm so excited!  
8.  Visit the chiropractor.

Ministry & Friendships
9.  Enjoy time spent visiting one of my dearest best friends from college.  It was a blast!  
10.  Continue working on VBS preparations and decorate my classroom on Friday.  VBS starts next week!

3.  Evangeline has two therapy appointments this week.

Homemaking
4.  Sew a skirt for Evangeline.  (The skirt is cut out and sitting on top of my sewing machine.  I just need about 20 minutes to sew it together.)
5.  Weed all 8 rows in the garden and replant any areas that did not come up as well as expected.
6.  Spend two hours on various household cleaning/organizing projects.

Personal
7.  Exercise three times.
8.  Complete Week 2 of Jen Wilkin's study of 1 Peter.

Ministry & Friendships
9.  Enjoy at least one playdate with friends this week.
10.  Spend time helping at VBS.  (I will be devoting a lot of time to VBS this week so I gave it two of my goal spots.)

Do you have any goals for this week?  Do your children attend VBS?

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
