Goals

I crossed off all but one of my goals last week! 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family — This has been such a blessing to our family.

2. Read to my children 5x — After working on reading regularly to my children for months, it’s definitely a habit now.

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 120 minutes on the treadmill

5. Read 10 pages of The Lord of the Rings (Part One) The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill one bag with items to donate — We got sidetracked watching Disney videos on YouTube as a family during the time I’d normally be looking for things to fill a garbage bag, so I missed this goal. But it was fun spending time together and talking about how we’d like to visit Disney again…someday. 🙂

8. Create new school folders with instructions/subjects, etc… for the upcoming school year — We’re starting school next week, and I’m just about ready. I wish I could say the kids are excited about it, but they like the relaxed summer routine we’ve got going on and don’t look forward to starting school again. Oh, well!

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload at least one new video to our family YouTube channel

10. Shoot, edit, & upload one family vlog and create a new header for my YouTube channel

What are your goals for this week?

I was able to cross off all of my goals again. 🙂

I was even able to upload a couple of extra videos because Ruben didn’t finish up work until late a few nights last week, which meant that I had extra time to edit videos on his computer. My computer is still dead, and after writing out the budget for August, it turns out we’re not going to have the extra money we need to have it fixed this month after all. The repairs will have to wait until next month.

BUT THAT’S OKAY for two reasons:

1. I can still edit videos on Ruben’s computer, and uploading fewer videos each week is fine.
2. I WON a new HP laptop at a Twitter party!!!!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

It’s true, and I can hardly believe it!

God is so good, and we’re thankful for this incredible blessing! Ruben will most likely be the one using the new laptop, and I’m probably going to takeover his computer because it has iMovie, which is the program I use to edit our videos.

The laptop should be delivered soon, and just…wow! 😀

Anyway, here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Read to my children 5x

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 100 minutes on the treadmill

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Buy school supplies for the upcoming school year

8. Clean and organize Elisabeth’s Play-Doh area

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload one new video to our family YouTube channel — I ended up getting two videos uploaded. And Ruben and I worked together on rebranding the Fun Playtime Reviews channel. I think the design we came up with is great, and I hope others like it, too. I was NOT expecting to work on creating a new header/logo for our channel over the weekend, but Ruben surprised me with a new design when the kids and I got home from my nephew’s birthday party on Saturday. He had a fantastic design that I ended up tweaking with some font and color changes. We’re a good team. 🙂

10. Shoot, edit, & upload one family vlog

What are your goals for this week?

I crossed everything off of my list of goals for last week. Yay!

This week is going to be slightly busier than usual, and if you watch my vlogs, you’ll get to see what we’re up to because I’m planning on filming some of it.

By the way, even though I don’t have thousands of views on my vlogs, it’s hard to express how thankful I am that we have those videos to look back at over and over (and over!) again, because we took the time to film little pieces of our lives here and there. And then momma took the time to edit those videos and turn them into a story about our day. 😉

My kids love watching the vlogs, and I do, too.
