Gratefully, I ended up getting a LOT more sleep and down time this past week — which was a blessing! And the interesting thing is: I also was a lot more productive!
I know it probably helped that I had a somewhat quieter week project/schedule-wise, but I also think that being more rested allowed me to focus better. This inspires me to continue to make sleep and margin a priority. It truly does make a difference!
Last week’s goals:
Marriage/Mothering/Homemaking Goals
1. Read Teddy’s Button aloud to the kids at lunch time. {We’re over halfway through with this book — hoping to finish this week.}
2. Have a movie night with Jesse.

I know I’m a lot more productive when I get enough rest. Glad to hear you had a great week. I hope this week goes well too.
Jenny @ Women With Intention says
Good job last week! It is amazing what sleep does for our bodies and how it clears our heads. I’m glad you were able to get some extra rest last week! 🙂
Lydia @ Not Afraid of the Snow says
Spending 30 minutes decluttering is a great goal. I have been working on cleaning out our spare bedroom. I have been trying to find a permanent place for 10 things each week, either in our home or getting rid of them. Hope you have a great week!

I’ve always wondered how you read to your children at lunch. When do you eat? We’ve listened to children’s audio books, but there is not a huge selection at our library.
Crystal Paine says
I guess I’m a really quick eater… for some reason, it usually only takes me 5 minutes to eat my food, while it will often take my kids 25 minutes. 🙂
Shay says
Sounds like a super productive week! I am hoping to be just as productive next week!
Pam says
What a productive week you had! Felt great I bet!
