The Sensible Mom

This week, I’m planning on sharing a blog post with my 2016 goals and a peek at my Google Calendar.

I use my Google Calendar to stay on track with my day and to make sure everyday, regular, mundane details happen.

Things like cleaning the kitchen after dinner.

For some reason, having that on my calendar makes me feel like I HAVE TO clean the kitchen before I go to bed. Thankfully, my husband and oldest son often pitch in to help with the dishes. 🙂

Anyway, as for last week’s goals, I crossed 9 out of 10 off my list.

Here’s what I accomplished:

Family/Mothering Goals:

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

2. Show David how to play a game he got for Christmas and play it with him

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 140 minutes on the treadmill

5. Share a Trader Joes haul video on my YouTube channel

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Fill out our January family calendar

8. Go through one box or bin in the basement

Business Goals:

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

10. Shoot, edit, & upload at least one new video to my YouTube channel

What are your goals for this week?

We starting homeschooling again today, and it went better than expected.

I think it helped that we started today instead of on Monday.

I decided to wait for a couple of reasons. First, because I wanted to ease back into homeschooling and give the kids an extra day off. The second reason is because I had two appointments out of the house on Monday, and trying to homeschool around those wouldn’t have been the smartest decision. 🙂
