The Sensible Mom

We enjoyed a mini holiday vacation as a family last week, and it was wonderful!

You can see the vlog of our fun time together here. We packed in a whole lot of activities in a short amount of time, and we created some great memories. 🙂

However, I guess I should’ve been more realistic when it came to my goals for last week, because I only got half of them done. Oh, well!

Our little family adventure was worth not getting everything crossed 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. Make homemade pumpkin puree — I have this on my schedule to get done tomorrow.

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 120 minutes on the treadmill — I only spent around 70 minutes on the treadmill, but I’ve already got all of my minutes in and then some for this week. I’m hoping all of this extra exercise will mean my day-after-Thanksgiving-weight won’t be as bad as it could be on Friday. 😉

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. Make a list off all the books & programs my two oldest kids are working on or have completed for homeschooling

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload at least one new video to our family YouTube channel — I officially have two videos that need to be edited and another video that I have to finish filming. I didn’t get any of those videos uploaded to our channel last week, but I’m hoping to get at least one new video up this week.

10. Shoot, edit, & upload one family vlog
