I finally feel like I have a pretty good system down for bible memorization…it is finally a regular habit! I’m actually posting about it a bit this week on my blog. Hope you are able to make some progress this week!
Denise says
I am so inspired by your goals. Have you ever done a post on what your typical daily schedule looks like? I would love to get an idea of how other moms manage their time in order to accomplish their goals. I’m just starting out as a SAHM and looking for ideas! Thanks!
Denise 🙂

I’ve shared a peek into our daily schedule in my Time Management 101 series…

It changes every few months, but that’s what it was at one time. 🙂
Denise says
Just read over a few of the articles and I like the concept of a time budget. Thanks for your response!

My goal-setting was a little ambitious last week, but I was pleasantly surprised by how not horrible I did. This is week is shaping up to be pretty busy, so I’m keeping things slightly more attainable.
jackie Brown says
I’m going to start categorizing my goals this week. I’ve been writing them down for a while now, but I like the way you can glance at the category and know what you have to cross off. Thanks for inspiration.
Daniela says
I have done so much better with my goals this month by tracking them. I feel so much more productive when I have a plan!
Sarah says
I am stuck on Romans 1:20. Have you tried using Scripture Typer? Between that and the iPad app Memorize, I have found the verses a lot easier to memorize.
K says
My Goals for the week are to`:
1) Organize and straighten two rooms of our house that have been a complete and total disaster Just purchased necessary storage containers in order to get this done.
2) Continue w/ preschool lessons with my four year old.
3) Begin to look into some business opportunities.
Jamie Rohrbaugh says
Last week… Eek. I made it through a looooong week last week, with a bunch of rehearsals for a concert at my church. It was fun but I’m so tired, so I’m in recovery mode this week and my biggest goal (at least the one I like the most) is REST. I’m hoping to drive up into the Smokies this week for a few hours with my husband and see the wildflowers. 🙂 I think the lady’s slippers are blooming and would love to see them!

As I have been all semester, my goals are pretty simple this week so my motto is “small goals are better than no goals.” 🙂
Victoria says
What did you daughter think of Paddington? He was a favorite bear of mine as a child. Still bake in my Paddington apron now and then!
Crystal says
We have been *loving* the Paddington books!
Shelly says
I’m continuing with the cleaning challenge this week. I really like that when I do the cleaning tasks each day which most days only take 30 minutes or less, my house looks really nice. I am also staring a new book on my reading list for this year and doing some gardening too, weather permitting.
My daughter loved the Paddington books I read to her. I need to start reading them to my son.
Have a great week.
Cambria says
I’d love to see your homemade tub and tile recipe and other homemade cleaning recipes! The link I clicked on only had food recipes 😉 I looked around on your pinterest page but still couldn’t find it. I just bought an empty spray bottle to make my own and am looking for tried-and-true recipes for bathroom cleaner!
Crystal says
Whoops! Here’s the correct link: https://moneysavingmom.com/2013/04/homemade-tub-tile-cleaner.html
Molly says
I’m going to try my hand at baking with my two year old this week! I debated on whether or not that should be my only goal. lol!
Hope you have a good and productive week!

Melissa says
I fell off the weekly goals bandwagon in March, and my productivity suffered. I’m excited to start back up because I get a lot more accomplished.
You got quite a bit done, even with your injury!
