Goals for the Week of December 7, 2015

-
It has been a couple weeks since I posted my goals, and I've missed sharing that with you! Thanksgiving weekend was so amazing: I had two days off of work, we spent a TON of time doing fun family stuff, and then to top it all off I bought a car kind of last minute! So blogging did not happen. I'm happy to be back at it this week with some plans for the week, and phew...anyone else getting a little panicky that Christmas is so close??!!

Before I do a goals update, how about some snapshots of recent life?

We had two Thanksgivings...this was Friday's table.

A little Thanksgiving day crafting...my first time painting ceramics!
Six of us went Black Friday shopping at 4am! And I may or may not have been interviewed by a local news channel and seen my mug on TV a couple times that day...
This cute 9 year old threw her own Thanksgiving party with a little help from her sister.
We're so glad the local skating rink is open! 13 of us went skating on Sunday afternoon.


The beautiful car God gave me!
Came home to find this unexpected gift on my (unmade) bed! This mug is HUGE!
These girls love to spend the night. We cuddle under blankets, watch Christmas movies, and read books before going to bed. I love it!


 Phew! A lot has been going on. :) Now, on to my goals for the week!

It is time for an update on my weekly goals! In case you missed last week , I decided to get back into the habit of setting intentional, weekly goals in order to accomplish more during the precious hours I have around my work schedule. I am happy to report that this first week went very well! I wasn't sure exactly how it would turn out. It has been a couple years since I really was purposeful about my goals, so to be honest I was slightly skeptical. Was I already doing enough? Did I have more time in a day to get things done? But it did help, so much! With goals for what I want to accomplish in a week, it was so easy to pull together my daily to-do list from those goals. And there was no question as to what I should do if I did have a little down time. I had a goal to work towards even in the small moments. Last week's goals: Personal: Spend time in God's word every day Memorize one Bible verse Practice piano 3 times Practical: Make pumpkin scones Finish

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. 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
