The Sensible Mom

Happy New Year! I’m sorry I’m so late in sharing here. I know that February is going to be over soon and spring is right around the corner. Time flies.

Life is busy but I still want to make time to share here when I can. 🙂

Here are my goals for the next week or so:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Take one of our boys clothes shopping

2. Teach my daughter how to make plant-based waffles

Personal Goals:

3. Work out with weights with hubby — I’m really not motivated to work out with weights on my own so doing it with hubby this year has been a big help.

4. Walk at least 180 minutes — I plan to do this by walking on the treadmill, which I do enjoy.

5. Read Bible

6. Journal twice

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill a bag with items to donate

8. Research possible vacation spots

Business Goals:

9. Clean out inbox

10. Upload a video to my YouTube channel

What are your goals for this week?

November is here and I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving. Are you making plans for that day or visiting family?

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is almost over and a new year is right around the corner. I haven’t rushed this year one bit and I’ve just let it happen, so to speak.

I haven’t felt hurried this year and every month and new season came and went with a feeling of ease. I was sad to say goodbye to summer, I guess, because that’s my favorite season.

But, still, I welcomed fall and all the leaves. 😉

It’s not that there haven’t been trials and difficulties this year. There have been, but God is faithful. He brings of through everything masterfully with His perfect ways.

I’m 40 now, and my faith is rock solid. I know that I can trust God no matter what trials come our way. He began a good work in us and will see it through until the day of Christ Jesus. We are His.

Anyway, we’re off to the zoo today. The forecast is for a high of 75 degrees which is great because tomorrow it’s forecasted to be in the 30s until at least the middle of next week.

So, without further ado…

Here are my goals for the next week or so:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Take a family field trip to the zoo

2. Go to Hobby Lobby with Elisabeth

Personal Goals:

3. Lift hand weights 3 times

4. Walk at least 180 minutes — I plan to do this by walking on the treadmill and taking family walks outside.

5. Read Bible

6. Journal twice

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill a bag with items to donate

8. Write out our Thanksgiving menu

Business Goals:

9. Clean out inbox

10. Live stream a recipe video to my YouTube channel — I’m currently live streaming my weight loss journey and giving other tips and ideas for how to lose weight and feel full eating a low-calorie lifestyle way. I’m also sharing healthy grocery hauls and recipes if you’d like to join me. 🙂

What are your goals for this week?

It’s Friday, and we have a lot to get done today.

We have a grocery order to pick up. I never thought we’d be those people that have other people shop for their groceries, but here we are. 👀 😁

Then we want to take Elisabeth to shop for tap dancing shoes because she really wants to tap dance. I found an adorable dance shop in a local city that we’re going to visit and hopefully find some shoes for her. I wanted to buy a pair online but it seems that sizing for tap shoes differs greatly from regular sizing so I’d rather shop in-store. At the very least, I’m hoping we can figure out what size she would wear in tap shoes so that we can get her a pair one way or the other.

Then I need to make a trip to Kohl’s to return some items and do some shopping.

And then somehow we need to squeeze in trips to Sam’s Club and Costco…and CVS…and Walmart.

It’s going to be a full weekend.

But before we hit the ground running, I want to spend a little time sharing my goals. 🙂

Here are my goals for the next week or so:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Take one of our kids shopping for new church clothes — One of our sons lost a good amount of weight over the past year and a half and his old clothes are too big now.

2. Do driving lessons with Breanna

Personal Goals:

3. Lift hand weights 3 times

4. Walk at least 180 minutes — I plan to do this by walking on the treadmill and taking family walks outside.

5. Read Bible

6. Journal twice

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill a bag with items to donate

8. Look into a new homeschool assignment tracking service that sounds interesting

Business Goals:

9. Look into a new bookkeeping service since my old one is no longer available

10. Live stream a video to my YouTube channel — I’m currently live streaming my weight loss journey and giving other tips and ideas for how to lose weight and feel full eating a low-calorie lifestyle way. I’m also sharing healthy grocery hauls.
