Done this last month:
- Culled our library, pulling out books for a garage sale, and for some upcoming giveaways.
- Worked with a young friend to clean out and organize my craft closet.
- Finished a writing job. I’m so thankful to be able to work on Bible studies as a side job for extra income.
- Did a week-long device & media fast. Felt conviction about electronic overusage and am still working through how to practically live that out. Hoping to write more on that, soon. (And yes I’m laughing at myself about this one– Ironic much?)
- Started drinking unlimited coffee rather than limiting myself to 1-2 cups a day. I’m enjoying it and not having near the effects (mainly, jitteriness) that I anticipated.
- Started using the paid-version of the “Way of Life” app as a simple way to keep myself on track with daily goals for myself, our home, and family.
To do this upcoming month:
- Pack and prepare for an upcoming camping trip… my first time to go camping… and doing it with 7 kids — EEEEEK!
- Go on said camping trip.
- Prep for our upcoming homeschool year.
- Restructure our chore chart, adding in Theo as a helper, upgrading and shifting certain responsibilities
- Start making baby food for my little Mr. Chubster. He’s 5 months old, salivating, eyeing our food, and generally getting ready for solids.
- Get my fall plans sorted out– babysitters arranged for a conference we’re attending, plans in the works for co-authoring a book, considering what we’ll do for our 15th anniversary in a couple months… lots to think about!
