All mic’d up and ready to take the stage Saturday night at the San Diego event. While waiting, Kaitlynn tried to get a selfie with me. And well, it soon turned into a Silly Selfie Fest. I have no idea where my kids get their spunk and personality from. 😉
So, um, yeah. I kinda fell off the goal-setting wagon.
It was a little bit intentional (I was on a blogging break, after all) and it was a little unintentional (summer was just full to the brim with lots of travel and projects and fun!).
But, never fear, I’m back in the saddle again and ready to get this show on the road!
So without further ado, here are my 10 goals for this week:
Marriage/Mothering/Homemaking Goals
1. Start our fall homeschool schedule.
2. Finish reading one read aloud book with the kids.
3. Write a love note to Jesse.
4. Write thank you letters with the kids.
Personal Goals
5. Exercise at least 5 times.
6. Finish at least two books.
Ministry/Hospitality/Friendship Goals
7. Host friends from out of town for a little Blogging Retreat this weekend (yay!!)
8. Write notes to the Compassion children we sponsor.
Business Goals
9. Write an article for an upcoming piece in a magazine.
10. Get everything ready for our big Make Over Your Mornings sale next week (stay tuned for details!)
What are your goals for this week? I’d love to have you share your progress on last week’s goals and your goals for this coming week in the comments. Of, if you’ve blogged about it, leave your direct link below. Let’s cheer each other on to live purposeful and productive lives! You can download a free customizable weekly goal-planning sheet here.
I am back to couponing so I am back to reading your blog like a fiend!
Thank you so much! Your book Say Goodbye to Survival Mode and this site have been LIFE CHANGING! As a mom of soon to be 4 little ones four and under, a church planter’s wife, an online college professor, our children’s ministry director, and very part time blogger, I feel that there are very few people who are role models for me and you are one of them! Thanks!
I am so very grateful! And thank you for your sweet encouragement!
Thanks for your reply! Yes, I first heard you via a MOPs video in the spring and got the book this summer while I was on a break from teaching. My husband and I plan to take your Make Over Your Mornings course some time this month.
I am currently reading your book and just finished the goal setting chapter (on to the discipline chapter now, which I know will be the hardest for me), so this worked out great! I am loving your book! I feel like you’ve been following me around for the last few years…
Can you please share your fall homeschooling schedule?
I’ve been homeschooling for a couple years two of my children and my third child is gonna be starting K. I’m nervous about schooling all three. 🙂
Summer is a good time to take a break – I did the same for most of July!
It’s great to see you posting your goals again. I do this every week, and it is so valuable to be accountable to my readers!
I love goals and a link-up so I couldn’t resist. Thank you! My week is lacking in friendship goals, because I’m focusing on celebrating my husband’s birthday this week. Making a playdate or a visit is something I want to work on for next week!
Organize the school books and define a school plan.
Get back to my journal.
Catch up on housework neglected during out of town family visiting.
This is so inspiring! I am so ready to get back to a routine and start setting weekly goals. Just one more week of crazy first ??
Glad you enjoyed the Summer! Looking forward to some serious goal setting for the week now (and play time with the kids, too!).
Welcome back! 🙂
I have been inspired by your ministry/ friendship goals. A very dear friend of mine moved this week, and it has left me feeling quite sad and bereft. It has also made me realize that I want to be more intentional about my friendships. Looking forward to your book coming out soon!
I’m so sorry about your friend moving. Goodbyes are hard. 🙁
I’m so glad you enjoyed your July….it’s always go to take a break and come back with a new perspective! Have a great day!
