Weekly Goals 8/19

Just what the doctor ordered!!  Okay, maybe not the doctor but we needed a calm week in between family visits and this was it.  We should have worked a little of some productive cleaning in there but there is always next week.  I hope that you had a great week and I would love to hear about it.

This Week:

Family Goals
  • Spend time with my family- We had a lot of time together this week and spent most of it trying to relax after company and not really being productive.  I am hoping for a more productive plan next week :) 
  • Storytime and Rhyme at library- It was very strange that we hadn't been at the library yet this week so I was really looking forward to a fun storytime.  We had a blast with singing, instruments, and books.  The presenter was super energetic and the kids loved him!
  • Go to the pool- It is always a special treat to get to go to the pool since we don't have a community pool.  We are super lucky to have a lot of friends that have memberships so we get to go visit lots of different pools... and it is free which is a big bonus!! This pool also had some old playground equipment on the side of the kiddie pool which my son loved!!!
  • Go to Movies based on books at library- Bitter sweet since this is the last week of movies at the library for the summer.  We enjoyed them tons and Dylan really liked watching them and reading the books later too!!   
Personal Goals
  • Cut coupons-  I decided to get a jump on it and did it Monday during naptime.  Then on Tuesday, I finally cleaned out my long overdue coupon basket.  Boy did that make a difference.  Almost everything fit in the bottom section with just taking out the expired coupons.  I always try to do that before super doubles because it leads to a crazy time... which it did!!  Of well, maybe I will get it done sooner next time.
  • Shut off computer 6 nights to save energy- I have done a great job shutting off the computer at night and if we are going to be away from the house all day. 
  • Read Nothing to Hide (A Roland March Mystery) by J. Mark Bertrand- Done.  I finished it Monday and wrote my reviews. 
Home Management Goals
  • Clean dishes, counters and floors at least 5 days of the week- Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were off to a messy start.  I did get the kitchen cleaned up in the morning but for some reason we were still having leftover mess from having company so it was extra messy.  By Wednesday, we were finally living in a cleaner house that I was able to more easily maintain.
  • Clean dishes one night and not wait until the morning- I cleaned the dishes on Tuesday night to be prepared for our Wednesday outing.  I was super excited to come down to a clean kitchen and not have to do a lot of work first thing in the morning.  I rinsed them all on Wednesday night but we opted for watching all the old Grimm episodes on the NBC app to get caught up to start the new season :)
Blog Goals
  • Post one post everyday- Done!  I had most of the week done but no idea on what I was going to post on Friday so that was my budget update since it was mid-month and the pressure was off.
  • Schedule at least 7 posts so that can spend more time with family- Done.  I didn't have that many posts done ahead this week because my parents were here so I had a little catching up to do to get ahead again. 
  • Review book reviews completed during the week- Done and sent links to Bethany House.
  • Post Weekly Goals, Menu Plan Monday, and Thrifty Thursday Tip- Done
