Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

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

2. Go on a fun family outing

Personal Goals:

3. Email a good friend

4. Take a walk with the kids

Hi, guys! Today, I’m sharing a large family grocery haul that includes a Trader Joe’s haul, Meijer haul, and Jewel haul! I also do a refrigerator, freezer, and pantry tour after the grocery haul.

Besides the haul and tour, I share about some fabulous health and wellness products that my family is using and I wrap up the video with sharing about the new Foundational Phonics homeschool curriculum that I’ll be using to teach my son, David, this year.
