Hi guys! I know I haven’t been around at all in the last 2 weeks….I’ve been busy working on a couple of projects that pretty much consumed my blogging time. We’ve also been taking time to learn more about nutrition, and we are transitioning our family’s diet to a mostly whole foods plant based diet, which includes very little dairy and animal products.
I feel like all the changes we’ve been making for the last 1.5 years since we began learning a healthier way of eating has brought us here. For the longterm, we are eliminating meat from our diet, except for rare exceptions (holidays, vacation, visiting family, & the occasional Chick-fil-A :-)), and we are going to try to cut down our dairy consumption to only a small portion of our diet.
I’ll talk more about the diet changes we are making in other blog posts, onto this week’s goals!
Family/Mothering Goals:
1. Create a more structured homeschooling plan for Nathan & Breanna
2. Fix and write in baby books
Personal Goals:
3. Juice everyday this week
4. Start reading the ebook, Tell Your Time (affiliate link) by Amy Lynn Andrews * I never got to this last time I mentioned it *
5. Work on speaking more gently to my children and giving them focused attention when they are talking to me
Home Management Goals:
6. Unpack 1 box from the garage
7. De-clutter kitchen counter
Business Goals:
8. Post one blog post each day and start my regular posting schedule!
9. Return email/messages I’m behind on
10. Create graphics for new topics I’ll be posting here on The Sensible Mom
What are your goals for the week?
Glad you are back Sandra! I’ve missed your posts 🙂
Thanks, Erin! Glad to be back! 🙂 I know I’ve missed reading posts from my blogging buddies.
I look forward to your posts on your changes in your families diet.
Our week consist of following along with Sarah Mae and her 31 Days to Clean The Reboot. I am also hoping to start my daughter’s science this week but we need one other item to get started so it may just have to wait until next week. Our garden is finally taking off so I am hoping to do more planting. I am also hoping to harvest some more rhubarb and make some rhubarb jam for the first time.
I just finished Tell Your Time this weekend. I really liked it and now I just have to follow through and set up a schedule. Hopfully I will get to making my schedule this week.
Hi Shelly! Excellent goals!
I’m excited to hear that your garden is taking off. That’s wonderful! I wish we could have a garden this year, but it’s not going to happen….lots of work to be done in the backyard first. Hopefully, we can get something going next year to help save on all the produce costs.
How are you enjoying the cleaning reboot? I’ve been getting Sarah Mae’s facebook updates about it.
Also nice to know I’m now alone in homeschooling the kids over the summer. We are schooling year-round and going for a 4 day school week. This gives us more flexibility, which is necessary with 5 kids. 🙂
I hope you have a great week, Shelly!
I think I need to try this cleaning reboot talked about in the comments!
I definitely need to work on giving my children more of my complete attention. Such a good goal!

Hi Taralyn! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂 The looking forward to reading Sarah Mae’s reboot ebook in the future.
