It’s Monday and a new month which means I have several things going on today. Today I get to create some new goals for the month of July. I also get to plan a weeks worth of healthy and delicious meals for my family and choose a new book or two to read for July. In January I challenged myself to read at least one book per month in 2012. So far, I’ve been reading between one and three books each month. In June I read these two and I will share a review of them along with my July

It’s Monday which means that I’m sitting somewhere cozy with a hot cup of coffee and planning out my week. Before I share my weeks goals I want to share a recap of this weekend. I spent the weekend working on several projects that I’ll share soon. The den and master bedroom remodel is coming together so nicely and I can’t wait until everything is complete. To complete the projects I started this weekend, I had to pick up a few things from the Home Depot and the Dollar Tree. While at the Dollar Tree I spotted the new line

It’s Monday which means that I’m sitting somewhere cozy with a hot cup of coffee and planning out my week. I’ve already begun working on one homemaking project which was to clean my deep freezer from top to bottom. It turned out to be more work than expected because I went in without a plan. I made some serious preparation mistakes that cost me unnecessary cleaning time so I’ll be sharing to process with you and what I learned so that you don’t make the same mistakes that I did. I have lot’s of homemaking projects planned and some changes

Working from home on Monday’s is tough for me because after everyone has left for school and work I still have to look at the fallout from the weekend. Right now, there is clean laundry on the couch, dishes in the dishwasher, tons of laundry to be done, weekly menus to be planned all on top of working on my blog. I like to sit on the couch and work instead of in my office, but not on Monday’s. If I work from the couch the clothes will keep taunting me to fold and put them away. The pile of

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week. I am super excited about what I have planned. Some of my plans include a freezer cooking session to prepare three meals that will be great time savers in February. Later today I’ll be sharing pictures of how I organize my stockpile. I’ll take you on a picture tour from start to finish of how I sort and keep everything tidy. Tomorrow I’ll share the first in a 12 month Fashion Flashback series. Each month I’ll share a few shots of what I wore throughout the month. It’s part

When the kids are sick… it seems as if I don’t get much done but that’s alright. In my 18 years as a mom I’ve learned to drop all of my goals and expectations when my kids are sick. My youngest took sick with a fever and wheezing last Wednesday at school and I’ve had to take him to the pediatrician twice already. Then my 6th grader was experiencing some pain so I had to take him to the pediatrician. Now are three of my children are sick with cold and flu symptoms. So we will most likely extend their

We are nine days into the year… and I can say that many of the changes I’ve implemented into my life and this blog are looking good. The prayer forum has been an amazing blessing to me and hopefully to you as well. It’s really helping me to be more intentional about praying for the concerns of others and to be less ‘ME’ focused. I’ve also been getting tons of enjoyment from the Do-It-Yourself and How-To projects. It’s been a huge motivation for me the get little projects done around here. Here are some of my goals for this week.

I am so excited about 2012….are you? I was feeling very weary the last few months of 2011. There something about the ending of the year that makes me look back and examine how I’d spent my time and resources all the year long. By February 2011 I had exceeded my expectations but i could see in September 2011 areas where I’d fallen short. With all of that behind me and a fresh new year I have laid out new goals and have built upon some old ones. There will be some new personal goals as wellas some blog related

Yesterday I spent an amazing day with my family laughing, eating and opening gifts. I’ll have my kids with me for the next week and we are getting geared up for some FUN family time this week. Of course they’ll be busy with their Christmas toys, but in between playing and chores we will probably hit the movie theater. We’ll also sit down and plan some fun activities for New Years Eve. We usually have special dinner, lots of dessert and play family games. Here are some more of my other plans for this week. FAITH Bible Reading: Psalms Prayer:

This is the last week before the kids get out of school for the holidays and I’m really excited about our families plans. Our family tradition is for the kids to spend a week with their grandparents before Christmas. Each year they go participate in Christmas recitals and parties at their grandparents church. It’s a great time for them to love on their grandparents and vice-versa. This arrangement works out really nicely and gives Mr. P and I some alone time to connect without any interruptions. Finally, I’ll need to step it up on my crochet projects. I’ve been slacking

So I sat down this morning with my bible, my devotions, my recipe binder and homemaking binder. I wanted to jot down some plans for the week before the week got too busy. I can already feel the Christmas chaos trying to suck me in but I am praying for Gods direction in how to use my time in a way that pleases him. We spent yesterday morning at church and yesterday afternoon celebrating my sons 8th birthday. One of the things he wanted to do was decorate the Christmas tree, so that’s what we did. Here are some of

I have a few things planned this week but first let me say that I’ve made it through three weeks of the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program. Just when I thought I was getting my mojo, the workouts change. This week is the recovery phase but this will by no means be a typical recovery. The workout has plenty of yoga, core work and kick boxing on

What you can expect on the blog today: The 3.23.11 Publix deals later this afternoon, some sweepstake announcements, a new survey company introduction, fun for kids on a budget and some money saving deals here and there.

By Friday of last week, we were looking forward to a Saturday at home. We had it all planned out. I had gotten the grocery shopping done on Wednesday and Thursday as opposed to my normal shopping day on Saturday. Mr. Proverbs Wife didn’t have any outdoor plans either. By Saturday morning, the kids were up early because they new we’d plan to play with all of

My Bible reading goal for 2/7 was to read 7 chapters from the book of Psalms, however I was so excited when I realized that I had actually read 10. If you remember, I did not meet my bible reading goal for the last week of January and that didn’t sit right with me. It showed me that I didn’t use my morning time wisely. Instead of reading my Bible I was probably checking my

I haven’t completed my reading but have gotten a great deal of encouragement and revelation from what I’ve read so
