I decided today to hop onto Monday Meanderings…check it out! It’s a great way to help get you organized and start your week off with a plan.
Here are the five areas of focus:
1. Bible Study:
*We are reading as a family through the book of John and helping the boys memorize John 1:1-14.
*We are also soaking in the words of John the Baptist in John 3:30, “He must become greater, I must become less.”
2. Must Do:
*I MUST bake bread and make granola early in the week.
*All of our sheets need to be washed.
*I’ve got to baby proof the house (I started babysitting for a 10 month old each morning, and I’m quickly learning that we have way too many marbles in our house.) (and legos) (and game pieces…)
3. Cleaning Zone: This week my zone will be the kitchen.
*I need to clean out the fridge because somehow maple syrup spilled. I’m actually less upset about the sticky mess than I am about wasting good organic maple syrup! Do you think it would be too weird if I swiped my pancake over the spill tomorrow morning? (I’m pretty sure I’m kidding.)
*I also REALLY need to clean my oven. Last week, a casserole spilled over and made a big stinky, smokey mess. I’m tired of running over to the smoke alarm to wildly fan my dishtowel in front of it to get the thing to stop screaming. Hey, at least we can be confident that it works!
*My kids could write their spelling words in the dust on the top of the fridge (please don’t tell them this…I don’t need little boys climbing up there to give it a try). So, I need to clean it off before someone really tall comes over.
4. Train Them Up: We are working on “obeying the first time…without arguing or whining”. Time for Mama and Daddy to enforce this a little better.
5. Menu Plan: You can see what we’re eating this week here. You’ll also find a link to some fun, FREE new menu planners here!
So, what do you have going on this week?
Oh, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing what you are working on. I’ll have to give thought to my week and see if I can post about it later today.
LOL, you are so funny! Thanks for sharing your week with all of us. May God bless you in all that you do.
