Back to School Recap

Ahh, relief.  That's the feeling I get when all of the back-to-school insanity has died down somewhat--when we start to get into a routine again.  (P.S. I love routine.) Now that meet-the-teacher nights are over, we just have our daily routines to worry about, and the kids are now getting used to going back to school and haven't been fighting it as much as they were last year. This year I've decided to blog early in the morning (5 AM), so I have uninterrupted time to work on my passion.  Eventually the kids wake up, and we all get ready…

Goal Setting: Week of August 28, 2016

Well, the kids started school this week, and thanks to that I got SO much done this week!  Not that I don't love my kids, because I do; I just get lots more done when they're not arguing or complaining that they're hungry.  ha!  (Or you know, making a mess of what I just cleaned.)  So I'm definitely pleased with how things worked out this week, and I hope next week I get just as much done!  (No pressure or anything.) Here's what I accomplished this week. Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Work on Becoming a Woman of…

2016 Super Summer Recap

Now that the kids are on their second day of school, I can officially conclude that Super Summer 2016 is now complete. This summer wasn't exactly what I expected. Having said that, I didn't accomplish a lot of the things that I wanted to, and we didn't get to do a lot of things that were on our bucket list. All this makes me feel slightly disappointed in myself, but I have to remember that the side hustle I was working on took up a lot of my time which made it impossible to do all that I set out…

Goal Setting: Week of August 21, 2016

Whew!  I'm finally finished with one of the side hustles I was running, and now I actually have a little bit of time to sit down and write (though I am still catching up on sleep!).  Now that that's over and school is almost here, I've been getting a bit more done and trying to develop a routine for when school is officially back in session.  That being said, while not all of my goals have been typical, I have accomplished a decent amount of things lately.  Here's what's good: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7)…

8 Goals for a Successful New School Year

Anyone who knows me intimately knows I am big on goal setting. I set goals for the year, goals for the month, goals for the week, and in a sense I even set goals for each day (a.k.a. my to-do list). I've not been great at working on my goals so far this year. Lots have things have come up, making it difficult to move forward in many areas. The good thing about having kids, though, is that back-to-school time feels like another new start. A new schedule is in place, which gives me more time to accomplish different things…
