This Week's Goals



One of my monthly fun goals this month is to visit 10 parks
or playgrounds with my kids.

With the Christmas season quickly approaching I decided it was high time to jump back into blogging.  Despite not blogging for most of the past year, I have continued to set monthly and weekly goals.  I find such encouragement in reading other people's goals that I have decided to begin sharing my goals again.  


Marriage, Mothering, and Family:

1) Continued faithfulness with Sarah's physical therapy and helmet.  (She has torticollis and plagiocephaly.). We are overjoyed that Sarah learned to crawl in the last month but she still needs to work on strengthening her neck muscles.  One of my least favorite exercises is tilting her to the side and holding her in that position.  She also hates it but it is really important.  

2) Begin a new read-aloud with Eli & Eva.  I would love to read a sweet Christmas book together this year.  Anyone have a suggestion for me?  

3) Enjoy an at home date night with my husband.  

Homemaking

4)  Cook 19 meals at home this week.  

5) Declutter my clothing and our master bedroom walk in closet.  

Personal

6) Spend 2 hours working on a new sewing project.  

7). Visit the allergist twice this week for allergy shots.  I have really been letting these slide and I don't need to do that.  

8) Read a book.  

Ministry & Friendships

9.  Take Ms. G to church with us on Sunday.  If we have some extra time this week I would love to drop by and check on her.  

10.  Catch up with 2 friends this week.  

What goals do you have for this week?  Do you have any favorite Christmas book recommendations to share?

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
