Goals

I know that it’s almost Thursday.

But that’s okay, because it’s never too late to set goals, right? I may have had this post published earlier, but I was a bit thrown off when I woke up this morning and went to change Elisabeth only to find that there wasn’t a diaper or Pull-Up in sight.

We were all out.

That took our little potty-training adventure down a new path today and meant that I had to spend a lot more time in the bathroom with a little person. Oh, and then there’s the extra laundry that needed attention… 😉

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. Plan a Family Day

Personal Goals:

3. Read 25 pages of Virtual Freedom by Chris Ducker

4. Walk a total of 70 minutes on the treadmill

5. Read 25 pages of 52 Things Kids Need From a Mom by Angela Thomas

Home Management Goals:

6. Organize the files on my computer

7. Unpack one box in the basement

Business Goals:

8. Design a new Facebook cover for my page — I finally got around to this! You can see my new Facebook cover here. 🙂

9. Set up my blog feed on Mad Mimi — I did this. Then I found out that Mad Mimi’s web forms are not what I expected, and after doing more research, I decided to switch back to my old email service provider. Perhaps Mad Mimi will work out another time, but for now I’m back with Feedblitz.

10. Write 4 blog posts — Once again, I only got around to writing two posts.

Here are my goals for this week:

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. Even Elisabeth, my 2-year-old daughter, is doing great with her memorization. It helps that we work on the same verse for a few weeks at a time.

2. Enjoy a Family Day outside of the house

Personal Goals:

3. Read 25 pages of Virtual Freedom (affiliate link) by Chris Ducker

4. Walk a total of 80 minutes on the treadmill

5. Read 25 pages of 52 Things Kids Need From a Mom (affiliate link) by Angela Thomas

Home Management Goals:

6. Clean the microwave — I’m not really looking forward to this. 😉

7. Unpack one box in the basement

Business Goals:

8. Add a header to my email newsletter

9. Attend a local one day blog conference

10. Write 3 blog posts

Ah, Monday.

I welcome a fresh new week and a chance to once again work on my goals.

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 a Family Day — Last week, we ordered pizza and watched right around six hours of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. We never do that, and I’m not really into movies. But I was hooked. No guilt. 😉 It was fun!

Personal Goals:

3. Read 20 pages of Virtual Freedom by Chris Ducker

4. Drink water with lemon (or lime) and cayenne pepper 5x

5. Read 20 pages of 52 Things Kids Need From a Mom by Angela Thomas

Home Management Goals:

6. Vacuum upstairs

7. Clean coffee maker

Business Goals:

8. Design a new Facebook cover for my page — I didn’t get to this again. It’s been moved on my Google Calendar to this week.

9. Move subscribers over to Mad Mimi

10. Write 4 blog posts — I wrote two posts.

P.S. I recently discovered that Amazon’s affiliate program was reinstated in Illinois (yay!), so some of the links in this post are affiliate links.

I have thirty minutes to write this post and share it on social media.

I’m getting a little alone time in before we put the kids to bed, and I thought that actually getting my goals post up on Monday (as opposed to Tuesday or Wednesday…) was just the thing to do. 😉

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family — This will be our last week of Ephesians 4:29, and we’ll memorize the second part of Exodus 20:7 (Third Commandment)

2. Work on sewing with Breanna — I was finally able to break out the needle and thread and sew the things that needed to be fixed, but I didn’t get the chance to work on these things with my daughter. Next time.

Personal Goals:

3. Read 20 pages of How to Monetize Your Food Blog by Kiersten Frase

4. Drink water with lemon (or lime) and cayenne pepper 5x

5. Read 20 pages of 52 Things Kids Need From a Mom by Angela Thomas

Home Management Goals:

6. Fill one bag with items to donate — I need to keep this on my list for ongoing de-cluttering purposes!

7. Mop the floors and then put diatomaceous earth around the house to kill spiders and insects — Thanks to my husband, Ruben, the floors were steam cleaned. 🙂 I put diatomaceous earth around the house, and I hope it makes a difference as we enter bug season Summer.

Business Goals:

8. Take and edit photographs for a post to be published this week

9. Move subscribers over to my new email service — I tried to get this done, but I ran into technical difficulties. I’ve emailed my new service, and I’m sure things will be resolved soon.

10. Write 4 blog posts — This is my ultimate weekly goal for posting here on The Sensible Mom, so I’m going to keep on working on it.
