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…

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…

Work-in-Progress Wednesday: Craziness

This week at Making the Most, I'm working on multiple projects.  I'm in the process of writing two upcoming reviews, at least four recipes, and two parenting posts.  As I write this, I am actually writing by hand, as my hosting site has been down twice today for hours each time. This week, we have also put together those same four recipes and babysat my nephews.  I'll be doing some side work and having a meeting, picking up Rapunzel from her week at church camp, having a friendly campfire, and having a small birthday party for Princess Anna. Add to that…
