Goal Setting: Week of June 21, 2015

Well this week was definitely a mostly fail.  Sometimes I tend to get over-zealous and make some lofty goals despite the fact that I have a lot of stuff going on...like preparing for vacation...getting ready for a yard sale...last minute assignments...you know the stuff. Let's look on the bright side.  I did accomplish some things this week, and at the time I'm posting this, I still have a day left to squeeze some small things in.  Here's how I did this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (2/7) Mental: Journal (2/7) Physical: No soda 8 c. of water daily Exercise (3/7)…

Scripture Sunday: Stay Calm

"The Lord Himself will fight for you.  Just stay calm." - Exodus 14:14 This verse has just popped into my head a couple of times this week, and when I feel like freaking out, this is a good verse to remember.  I have it in my household management binder and in my bedroom, and I find it a helpful reminder that we're not in this thing called life on our own.  Whether you have been living in sin and feel like God can't possibly be with you, whether you just feel like you're alone in life, or if you're just…

Goal Setting: Week of June 14, 2015

Well, it's nice to reflect on how I did this week, albeit somewhat disappointing in some areas.  I do need to add in some time today for some designated prayer.  It's tough to find 20 minutes of time with peace and quiet, although maybe that's something I need to break up throughout the day.  I also majorly failed my physical goals and struggle with family goals.  I spend a lot of time with Rapunzel and Princess Anna, and I did spend a lot of time with them this week helping them sort through toys, letterboxing, reading, and working on worksheets…

Work-in-Progress Wednesday

This Work-in-Progress Wednesday, I continue to work on the printable scripture cards I told you about last week.  There are just so many verses I love and want to share that it's hard to weed any out. I'm also working on trying to post ahead of schedule so that you can continue to get your daily dose of Making the Most.  I'm sure many of you can identify with the fact that things just come up many days, and I know our summer plans have the potential of taking up my daily blogging time as it has in the past.  And…

DIY Raised Garden Bed: Part 2

A few weeks ago, we took the plunge to start up our summer garden again. We booked a lawn care specialist from https://www.lawncare.net/service-areas/massachusetts/ to come and take a look at what could be done to get the grass looking a little happier. Prince Charming built another planter box for us, and we took an entire morning to loosen the ground, spread soil, and plant our seeds. You can see how badly the garden looked before and after in the gallery shown below. It definitely looks so much better! This year, we planted sweet corn, carrots, watermelon, cucumber, zucchini, sunflowers, geraniums,…
