Goals Revisited


In January I set up a list of goals, at which I am failing miserably.

-Have a baby: still "unpregnant"
-Lose 10 lbs: I have lost about 4, but that is no where near close to ten
-Lose 20 lbs: Obviously not
-Lose 30 lbs: I am actually not sure I want to lose this much, I think I will switch it to
                     23 lbs.  I don't want to be sickly skinny.
-Drink 2 glasses of water a day: This is SO easy.  And yet I am not doing it.  Stupid
                                                   soda for being delicious.
-Keep my house cleaner: I still don't have a house so I am giving myself a break on this
                                      one until I move.
-Read the New Testament: 50% complete
-Read the entire Bible: I started the year at like 40% read and now I am at like 47%...

So I am failing.  Luckily I figured I would fail so I am not to worked up about it.

When we move I am going to make myself a pretty strict schedule so I can keep my twice as big as I am used to house clean while still playing with the kids, making meals, crafting and everything else.  I love schedules (as long as they have free time slots, otherwise its way overwhelming to go, go, go all day, every day) and lists, so I honestly already have one planned up.  I will post it once I move and get settled and see how it works out.

Schedules are the only way I get everything done and don't get overwhelmed and give up before I start.

So my schedule already has Bible reading, cleaning, exercising, and water drinking factored in, so I think by the end of the year I should be doing pretty good goal wise.  Except the baby, but then that isn't really in my hands.

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.  From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you!  With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.  The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children.  It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person.  I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book.  My only...
