I want to thank you again for your example of weekly goal setting. Setting weekly goals has helped me live more intentionally as a new stay-at-home mom. Without the structure of going to work, I felt kind of lost my first few weeks until I came upon your goal setting posts.
Crystal says
You are so welcome — and I’m so happy to hear that you’re finding it helpful!

Every time I read your goals I think how much fun it would be to learn how to do embroidery. Maybe some day I’ll have space in my schedule to add it to my goals list. 🙂
Crystal says
I’ve been doing it when I’m at our family’s houses on the weekends, when we’re having our family Bible/reading time at night, or when I have friends over, etc. So it’s not adding anything extra to my schedule, just allowing me to keep my hands busy when my head is engaged in listening or participating in a discussion. 🙂
Carol@simple_catholic says
That is such a smart idea, Crystal. Thanks for the suggestion!
Victoria says
I read Almost Amish last year. It made me laugh, and think, and cheer. Good book.
Crystal says
I’m excited to read it!
Jamie Rohrbaugh says
Welcome back! We missed you!
Crystal says
Thanks so much — I missed getting to blog here much, too. But it was a very welcome break and I feel so refreshed!
Jillian Kay says
Almost Amish sounds like a fun book. I’m going to add it to my library list.
Shelly says
You have inspired me to read more. I’m currently working on three books and I find I do read more than I would if I was just reding one book at a time. I’m a little slower at finishing a book but that is fine with me.
Looks like you did great with your goals last week. I hope you have a great week this week too.
Crystal says
Isn’t it amazing how it seems like you read more when you have a few different books going?!
Shelly says
It is really amazing. When I used to just be reading one book at a time I might not pick it up for a day or two because I just wouldn’t be in the mood to read it. Now with three books I usually will be in the mood to at least read one of them.
That’s how we approach our homeschool read a loud time too. Reading what we are interested in for that day.
Molly says
I’ve begun taking a “page from your book”… I’m reading two books at once. I leave one on the chair where I nurse and one by my bed. I think I might get into this whole multi-booking thing! lol
Crystal says
Oh yay!
