Goals for the Week, September 9, 2013

-
Happy Monday! I'm here reporting after a successful first week of school for the kiddos and a more definite schedule for myself. It feels so great to be on a schedule again and see things getting done! The slower days have been a welcome enjoyment as well. Anyone else feeling this way?


 Our linky party was last Friday and it was so fun! There are a low number of linkups so far but it is still fun to learn from these creative ladies. The above burlap wreath was one of the link ups, isn't it adorable? Such a fun fall accessory! You still have a few days to link up your posts, so click here to head to the party!

And now, on to my weekly goals update:

 Last week, I worked on the following:

Work on mending
Finish custom orders
Finish girl’s shorts
Review Philippians 3
Practice piano 3x
Begin implementing winter schedule
Write one post for another site
Donate bags of unused clothes

This week, I'm setting these goals:

Finish mending
Have a shop planning session for the upcoming season
Finish girl’s shorts
Go through one tote of stuff in storage
Memorize Philippians 4:1-2 {chapter 4!!!!}
Clean at church
Practice piano 3 times

How has your back-to-school been so far? Anyone else enjoying the slower days? Anyone else dreading the colder weather?

Some Friday Love: Recipe Binder Printable!

-

To celebrate this beautiful Friday evening (aren't Friday's just the best of days?) I have a FREE printable for you! I have to admit that I don't have a recipe binder, but a reader asked if I could make a printable to match the others for a recipe binder. If there is one thing I love, it is making printables that meet the needs of my readers! This blog would be pretty boring without you, so passing on some love in the way of printables is the least I can do! Anyway, back to the printable. How did I get on the sappy train? I really was not sure what all is included on a recipe binder page, but here is what I came up with: Then I thought that maybe there are some people out there that prefer to write teeny tiny and save space, and would like two recipes to a sheet. So I shrunk everything down and came up with this: Hopefully this will be a help! I could totally do a B&W version or size it for a half sized binder, if you prefer. After making these sheets, I began to see ...

"Frasier Island" Book Review and Giveaway!

Last month I spoke at a Christian Writer's Conference and met beautiful authors such as Susan Page Davis. I recently read her book, Frasier Island , and I am so excited to tell you about it! It is easy to tell when you've got your hands on a good book, and friends, this is a good book . It is full of mystery and intrigue, unexpected twists and plots, and just enough romance woven through to make it not over-the-top-lovey-dovey.

George Hudson are running from their past...and ultimately towards each other. While guarding a highly classified secret for the US Government, Rachel comes to realize the importance of letting God have His rightful place in her life. It is rare for a woman to be pu...

Quick Tip Tuesday: Facebook. Just Stop.

I have to say, I never, ever thought I'd be writing this post. But here we go. The goal of these quick tips is to simplify. Because really, isn't that the goal of every organizing project? We find a system that isn't working - something that aggravates our daily routine, and frankly, aggravates us! And we tear it apart and make an even bigger mess than before so we can find a better system that simplifies life. These quick projects do the same thing, with the added benefit of being, well, quick! These are quick fixes that take little or no time but have a big impact. Today's quick tip? Just stop with all the Facebook. Now hear me out. I am not getting rid of Facebook. It is one of the main ways I communicate with not only my immediate family in Canada, but my extended family and close friends that live all across the globe. And one day I realized...I'm spending a lot of time on Facebook NOT doing those things. Instead, I was scrolling through a lot of ...
