The Sensible Mom

Last week, I ended up filming two vlogs (something I’d struggled to do for about a month) and one video that’s yet to be edited, but I totally missed completing any of the “Business Goals” on my list. Oh well!

I’m hoping to cross off my business goals this week. 🙂

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 fun family day

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 120 minutes on the treadmill

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. Clean and organize Elisabeth’s Play-Doh table

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

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

10. Record business expenses — I have lots of receipts for things that need to be entered as expenses, and I know that around tax time I’ll be thankful that I got things in order ahead of time.

Here are my goals for this week:

What are your goals for this week?

Okay, I’m going to give up on my vlogging goal for right now.

I haven’t uploaded a vlog in at least a month, and I’m going to step back and rethink how I want to go about creating videos for my personal channel. It’s hard to find time to create videos during the week because homeschooling the kids and everyday life activities take up so much of my time. Then on the weekends, I don’t always feel like vlogging and instead want to just spent time together as a family.

I don’t know. I still love vlogging and creating those videos, but I need to think of a better way of going about it. 🙂

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 fun family day

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 120 minutes on the treadmill

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. Order more books in the “Who Was” series for Nathan and Breanna — My mom gave us a few of these books, and I decided to have Nathan and Breanna read them as part of their schoolwork. It turns out, they love the books, so I’m going to order more. So far, they’ve read about Christopher Columbus, Rosa Parks, and Helen Keller. — We ended up ordering books about Betsy Ross, Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Walt Disney. 🙂

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

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

10. Shoot, edit, & upload one family vlog

But then I didn’t end up vlogging as much as I’d anticipated while Breanna and I were out (Kohl’s ended up being a quick trip with my mom, and there were too many people at Target.). I meant to continue the vlog at home, but put it off and never finished it. Soooo…I’m going to try again this week. 🙂
