Goals

I’m excited to have a fresh new week to tackle more goals.

Are you?

Last week, I did pretty well on my goals except that I didn’t get on the treadmill and whenever I started to dust, there seemed to be some hindrance. Other than that, I made decent progress.

Here’s a look at how I did with last week’s goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Look for a devotional book Ruben and I can go through with the kids – I found a free devotional for kids on Amazon (Kindle – I don’t have a Kindle, but I do have the free Kindle version for computers and the app for my phone.)

2. Spend more time playing with the kids in their rooms – Joy! I even got a little cleaning done while I was in there.

Personal Goals:

3. Drink juice at least 3 days this week

4. Finish reading the book Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (affiliate link). – I didn’t make much progress in this book, because I’ve been reading a lot about ebooks. I’m writing an ebook on how to your own homemade health and beauty products! 🙂 Super excited! I will be sharing more about this on The Sensible Mom later.

5. Walk on the treadmill at least 2 days this week – I didn’t exercise on the treadmill at all last week.

Home Management Goals:

6. Unpack 2 boxes from the garage

7. Dust – I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped, but it’s a little less dusty around here this week thanks to having this as a goal last week.

Business Goals:

8. Begin reading a book I’ll be reviewing here on The Sensible Mom (books is titled, Mother of Pearl)

9. Pray about writing an ebook and the topic it should be focused on

10. Pitch to like-minded businesses – at least 1 or 2

What are your goals for the week?

As much as I tried last week, I wasn’t able to get all of my goals accomplished.

But I got quite a few either done or half-way done.

Here’s how I did:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue working toward making family worship time a habit. I want to keep this on the list another week.

2. Spend quality time reading to the kids. Isaac has several ‘bug books’ from the library that we need to read.

Personal Goals:

3. Drink juice at least 3 days this week

4. Read 120 pages of the book Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (affiliate link). – I’m around page 94 in this book. Its been a good read, and I’m looking forward to finishing it this week. I hope.

5. Walk on the treadmill at least 2 days this week

Home Management Goals:

6. Unpack 4 boxes from the garage – As much as I tried, I was only able to unpack 2 boxes.

7. Organize the office room closet

Business Goals:

What are your goals for the week?

I spent a good amount of time redesigning The Sensible Mom over the weekend, and I’m still not finished. You can probably see that. 🙂 Odd looking facebook icon, anyone? I’m working on it.

But I did manage to make some progress on my goals.

Here’s how I did:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue working toward making family worship time a habit

2. Make homemade baby wipes with Breanna (We have all the ingredients ready for this, and I can’t wait to share the outcome with you guys!)

Personal Goals:

3. Juice at least 2 days this week – The grocery budget is a bit tight this week, so we won’t be doing a lot of juicing. I have noticed that since we started eating way less meat and dairy, our grocery budget has gone up.

4. Start reading Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas (affiliate link).

5. Walk on the treadmill at least 2 days this week – While I feel like I spent more time up and moving last week, I never made it onto the treadmill.

Home Management Goals:

6. Unpack 3 boxes from the garage

7. Organize my desk area, which has become pretty cluttered.

Business Goals:

8. Start redesigning The Sensible Mom

9. Apply for a blog sponsorship

10. Create a sponsorship page for The Sensible Mom – I haven’t started this yet.

What are your goals for the week?

Last week, I spent a good amount of time working on a blog design that I can’t wait to share with you guys. It’s sophisticated and cute. I really love it. I also spent time working on learning how to make The Sensible Mom better. I have so many ideas written down and in my mind, but I think I’m going to start with a new blog design for The Sensible Mom. I still don’t know exactly what I want in terms of design for this blog, but I definitely have ideas swirling.

In terms of my goals, I put more intentional effort into completing them. I didn’t get everything done, but I made progress.

Here’s how I did with last week’s goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue working toward making family worship time a habit – Honestly, we didn’t have family worship even once last week, except for spending some time praying together. I’m going to keep this goal on the list.

2. Make banana ice cream with Breanna – We made our ice cream, and we all loved how it turned out. I used what I had on hand. Our ice cream ended up being frozen banans with some vanilla protein drink and almond milk mixed in to smooth it out.

Personal Goals:

3. Juice at least 4 days this week – I drank juice 3 days, so I didn’t quite make this goal. 

4. Finish reading the ebook, Tell Your Time  (affiliate link) by Amy Lynn Andrews – Done! I just finished reading this book last night, and I honestly don’t know why I waited so long. It was an easy read, and I finished the book more motivated and determined to spend my time more intentionally.

5. Walk on the treadmill at least 2 days this week – Done.

Home Management Goals:

6. Unpack 2 boxes from the garage – Done….only 20-30 more boxes to go! I haven’t counted, but it’s more than I thought we still had left in there. I have been throwing more things away as I unpack and wondering why we brought them in the first place.

7. Help the kids organize their room – Done.

Business Goals:

8. Attend 1 webinar – Done. I actually ended up attending 2 webinars.

9. Apply for a blog sponsorship – I started my email for this, but haven’t finished it yet.

10. Create a sponsorship page for The Sensible Mom – I didn’t get to this, either.

And here are my 10 goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue working toward making family worship time a habit

2. Make homemade baby wipes with Breanna (We have all the ingredients ready for this, and I can’t wait to share the outcome with you guys!)
