Goals for the Week of November 16, 2015

-
Happy Monday, friends! It is time to share my report on my goals from last week and share the new ones for this week. I hope you are setting goals this week, too! If you are, I'd love for you to share them! We've had some great discussion and encouragement about goal-setting each week in the comments section, I'd love for you to join in!


I didn't get a few things done this week that I was really aiming for, but that is ok, because some other fun stuff happened instead! That is the freedom of setting goals, not everything has to get done. If life gets busy or more important things come up, why then the goals can be tweaked or abandoned altogether!

For instance, last night we had an impromptu victory celebration after that STRESSFUL win by the Patriots. Was anyone else freaking out during that? So glad they managed to squeak it out in the end!

Also I celebrated with my piano students this week because they each met an important goal in the last couple months. I'm so thankful for these girls!




Now on to the update!


My goals for last week were:


Personal:

Spend time in God's Word every day
Memorize Isaiah 40:28
Practice piano 3 times

    The last time I had my goal listed down was in January of this year and I just look back from time to and see if I am making any progress. By God's grace, I'm doing good.

    Congratulations on reaching your goals last week! God bless you as you endeavor to know God deeper. First things first. :) Amen!

      Ha! These are actually my goals for the entire week...so I am going to *attempt* to get 3 practices in throughout the whole week. Not per day. That would be way overly ambitious. ;) Altho I am sure I would really improve that way!

    My goal for this week is finish switching out the summer and winter clothes. I've been doing that for about 3 weeks. I do a little at time because I really don't feel like doing it. That way, I will get it done no matter how much I don't want to do it.

    I would like to hear your thoughts on Money Making Mom too! My goal is this week is to start making goals! Seriously...I have kind of gotten away from goal-setting for fear of being too uptight about not accomplishing them all. I am going to get back at it, but try to exercise a little grace too.

      Oh yes, we all need grace in this and many other areas! I would encourage you to start small...just write down two or three specific things to work towards this week. I'll be cheering you on, and I'd love to hear how you do! :)

Some Friday Love: Recipe Binder Printable!

-
Image
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. Romance novels aren't really my thing, but a well written, informative, interesting mystery is! The story line takes Ensign Rachel Whitney to a new post on a remote scrap of rock in the Pacific called Frasier Island. Living there in isolation with two other soldiers, both Rachel and Lt. 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 ...
