Goals

I hope you had a nice Easter weekend! I spent a lot of time with my immediate and extended family, and it was great. 🙂

I didn’t quite get everything crossed off my list, but I came close.

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

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

2. Plan individual ‘Day Out with Dad’ and ‘Day Out with Mom’ dates for the month of April — After talking things over, Ruben and I decided to group the kids together for special days out of the house this month. The reason we decided not to schedule individual dates with the kids is because Ruben’s work schedule is CRAZY right now. So, one separate occasions, we’ll each take either all of the boys or both girls out for a fun time. I have those days scheduled on my calendar.

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 200 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. Schedule a pancake making session for myself and follow through on making a whole bunch of pancakes for future meals

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload four videos to our family YouTube channel. — For this channel, I ended up getting two videos uploaded to YouTube.

10. Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs (I have one done already.) — I’m crossing this off because I got the second one uploaded late last night. And I plan on uploading two new vlogs this week. 😉

Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

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

2. Plan a fun family day at home

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 200 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. Put diatomaceous earth around the house

8. De-clutter my desk area

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload four videos to our family YouTube channel

10. Shoot, edit, & upload two family vlogs

What are your goals for this week?

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

I think developing a system for having my kids help out more with chores around the house is making a big difference in how much time I have to focus on other areas. 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

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

2. Create a list of chores and how much they’re “worth” in terms of game time — For example, right now I have my 14-year-old son unload the dishwasher, rinse the dishes again (we have hard water and to make a long story short…the dishes usually need to be rinsed again once they’ve gone through the dishwasher), dry them with a towel, and put them away. Then he reloads the dishwasher with the dirty dishes that are in the sink. For tackling this chore, he earns 40 minutes of game time. For something like emptying the recycling can, he earns 5 minutes.

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 200 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. De-clutter one corner of our home

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

9. Edit, upload, & post a video on how to make a honey sugar facial scrub

10. Shoot, edit, & upload a family vlog

What are your goals for this week?

I did pretty well with tackling most of my goals last week.

And I’ve decided that since things are going well with filming and editing videos, I’m ready to step waaaaaayyy out of my comfort zone and create a vlog of our family of seven.

Ruben (my husband) and I are still discussing and praying about the whole idea of vlogging on a regular basis, so things aren’t set in stone. But if all goes well and it doesn’t seem like a ton of extra work, I may make a family vlog a regular feature on my YouTube channel. 🙂

We’ll see…
