10 Goals for the Week

It’s been a few weeks since I updated my goals, but since I last shared them, I was able to cross 8 out of 10 off my list.

Before I share my progress with you, I thought I’d share a few photos of what we’ve been up to on weekends as a family. Fall has definitely arrived here in Illinois, and we’ve been enjoying a lot of good fall fun!

Here are a few pictures I took at this year’s Boo! at the Zoo!

The kids enjoyed getting to trick or treat at the zoo, and I was happy to be able to get all five of them together to snap this photo. They’re all getting so big!

Elisabeth recently lost her first tooth, and you can see the empty space that’ll soon be filled by an adult tooth! She’s pretty excited about it all. 🙂

Besides Boo! at the Zoo, we also took the kids to two events hosted by our local park district. They got to play games, decorate pumpkins, make a scarecrow, enjoy snacks and more.

Here’s a look at our Minecraft scarecrow:

And then today, we visited Blackberry Farm where we were able to ride a carousel, train, and wagon. The kids also had the chance to climb up into a big tractor that was decorated for the season.

All in all, it’s been a fantastic fall so far. 🙂

And now, here’s what I accomplished as far as my goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Work on memorizing a verse of scripture as a family

2. Help Isaac list toys on ebay — Isaac is trying to make some extra money so he wants to sell some of his Five Nights at Freddy’s toys.

Personal Goals:

3. Read through 1 & 2 Thessalonians — I ended up finishing the New Testament again, and I’m starting back in Matthew. I also plan to continue reading the Old Testament. I’m in the book of Ezra there.

4. Meet with a friend

5. Write and publish a sponsored blog post

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Sew a pair of pants — I decided to forget about this since the pants I was going to sew are really worn in some spots, and they’re probably going to end up in the trash soon.

8. Clean out my purse

Business Goals:

9. Edit & upload at least one new video to my YouTube channel — I’m working on a video.

10. Edit & upload one new video to our family YouTube channel — I FINALLY uploaded a new video on our channel for kids! Yay! 🙂
