The Sensible Mom

I was able to cross off all of my goals again. 🙂

I was even able to upload a couple of extra videos because Ruben didn’t finish up work until late a few nights last week, which meant that I had extra time to edit videos on his computer. My computer is still dead, and after writing out the budget for August, it turns out we’re not going to have the extra money we need to have it fixed this month after all. The repairs will have to wait until next month.

BUT THAT’S OKAY for two reasons:

1. I can still edit videos on Ruben’s computer, and uploading fewer videos each week is fine.
2. I WON a new HP laptop at a Twitter party!!!!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

It’s true, and I can hardly believe it!

God is so good, and we’re thankful for this incredible blessing! Ruben will most likely be the one using the new laptop, and I’m probably going to takeover his computer because it has iMovie, which is the program I use to edit our videos.

The laptop should be delivered soon, and just…wow! 😀

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. Read to my children 5x

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 100 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. Buy school supplies for the upcoming school year

8. Clean and organize Elisabeth’s Play-Doh area

Business Goals:

9. Shoot, edit, & upload one new video to our family YouTube channel — I ended up getting two videos uploaded. And Ruben and I worked together on rebranding the Fun Playtime Reviews channel. I think the design we came up with is great, and I hope others like it, too. I was NOT expecting to work on creating a new header/logo for our channel over the weekend, but Ruben surprised me with a new design when the kids and I got home from my nephew’s birthday party on Saturday. He had a fantastic design that I ended up tweaking with some font and color changes. We’re a good team. 🙂

10. Shoot, edit, & upload one family vlog
