10 Goals for the Week

I’m thankful for a fresh new week.

It’s like a breath of fresh air as long as I don’t over-schedule and overwhelm myself with unnecessary burdens.

This week, I’ll be focusing on putting more effort into getting the things crossed off my list that I missed last week: writing four blog posts and taking as well as editing photographs for a post.

Here’s what I did get done last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family — Ephesians 4:29 and now Exodus 20:7 (Third Commandment) — It’s taking us a while to get Ephesians 4:29 memorized. It’s a longer verse, but it’s been worth the effort. 🙂

2. Plan a Family Day

Personal Goals:

3. Read 20 pages of How to Monetize Your Food Blog by Kiersten Frase

4. Drink water with lemon (or lime) and cayenne pepper 5x

5. Read 20 pages of 52 Things Kids Need From a Mom by Angela Thomas

Home Management Goals:

6. Fill one bag with items to donate — I need to keep this on my list for ongoing de-cluttering purposes! UPDATE: Now, every single week, I actually look forward to filling a garbage bag full of things we don’t need. The basement is starting to look a little better, and we can actually find things! 🙂

7. Unpack one box sitting in the basement

Business Goals:

8. Take and edit photographs for a post to be published next week — I took some photos over the weekend, but I still need to shoot more. Then there’s the editing…

9. Sign up for a new email service

10. Write 4 blog posts
