Similar to last week, the next seven days should be pretty laid-back.
So, I’m going to try to break out the juicer at least once, and I’m planning on working hard to actually write three posts this week! I feel like I just need to get into a rhythm with my writing, and then it’ll become a habit.
Or not.
Because I do have five beautiful children that tend to keep life sort of unpredictable. ๐
Anyway, here’s what I accomplished lastย week:

What are your goals for this week?
Sandra, I have a white board and a black foam board for backgrounds for my food photography. They work really nice for that. I think I’ll be getting a folding project board too. I heard that they work well and stand up on their own. ๐
I think you did a great job on your goals. I hear you on making writing a habit., it has taken me over a year (not to discourage you at all, I’m slow on making habits) to get into the habit of writing or working on blog posts 5 days a week. I take the weekends off unless I’ve gotten behind. I still need to work on getting into a good rhythm for editing photos but it will come in time.
I’m sure you will find what works best for you and your family. I hope you have a great week.
Thanks, Shelly! I’m going to see if my husband can pick up some black foam board on the way home from work today. I’d love to buy some wood and paint and make my own boards someday. I took a look around Pinterest for ideas, and it seems like there are several different ways this can be done.
I hope you have a great week, too! ๐
Great job on your goals, Sandra! I also need to get into a habit of writing. I’ve been trying to spend more time with my kids this summer instead of being on the computer, and while that’s a good thing, my blog has been suffering!
Thanks, Erin!
And I think spending time with you kids is incredibly important. ๐ I try to remember that my blog is something that isn’t going anywhere. I’ll be able to blog (if the Lord wills) after my kids are older, so I can feel free to spend lots of time with them now.
