Goal Setting: Week of August 9, 2015

This week wasn't half bad with goals.  I think, despite everything that was going on (which was a lot--it was craziness!), I did pretty well.  This week I don't have any cleaning goals, but school is gearing up where we are right now, so I think the less goals the better for the next couple of weeks.  Anyway, here's how I did. Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (3/7) Physical: 1 soda every other day 2 c. of water daily Exercise (2/7) Family: Devotions with Prince Charming (1/7) Devotions with Babies (3/7) 1 hour with Prince Charming Spend time…

Work-in-Progress Wednesday: Things to Look Forward To

Today I am frantic, scrambling to get things done that need to be done while certain kids are away with certain grandparents.  There's so much to do, and there's so little time!  I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way.  Regardless, my hope is to publish a couple of posts ahead of time.  Here are some things for you to look forward to in the next couple of weeks, along with the usual Scripture Sundays, Work-in-Progress Wednesdays, and my Saturday goal-setting: Copycat Starbuck's Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Recipe coming TOMORROW, Thursday, August 6th A Review of TobyMac's…

Why I Pray for My Husband’s Ex-Wife

I realize that not every step-parenting situation is the same. Some biological mothers have passed away, some are absent. While these situations may be your situation, this post is targeted toward the step-mother who is actively involved with her step children on an everyday basis, whether your visits are once a year or daily. I am a stepmom too, which is why I am sharing my experiences with you. Part 1 of my 3-part Stepmom Series: I wasn't entirely sure I would post this. I've had this sitting in my brain for a few months now, and I couldn't decide…

Scripture Sunday: Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28 This wasn't the original scripture I had chosen for today.  But after seeing it, and after the computer lost my original picture, I figured I was just supposed to post this one. I have trouble with this one.  I just like to go go go and never rest, because when I rest I have time to think and mull over things and then just get depressed.  Or anxious.  So I prefer to be busy.  But I think what God…

Goal Setting: Week of August 2, 2015

Well, I'd be lying if I said this week was a total waste, but I still don't feel like I got a lot done (does it sound like there is a recurring theme here?).  I've also had a lot of setbacks, though: my phone service being down twice, my comments not working for a couple of days, a linkup issue, images not working, and my hosting site down twice in one day...I did get caught up, though, and even got a few extra things taken care of.  Right now I'm taking in the beauty of a clean kitchen.  Soaking it in, because…
