It’s November again and that means looking around the house and checking my goals to see what I can make a big push to finish. We have two and a half more weeks in November and I’m going to try to finish three outstanding projects that aren’t too huge, but will require intentional effort. Project…
Bullet Journal plans for 2023 Next year will be my 10th year of bullet journaling! A decade of my life is now recorded in Bullet Journals. So, I was thinking that’s a pretty big milestone, and based on all the questions and comments I’ve gotten over the years, maybe 2023 will be a good time…
Bullet Journal I set up my October journal pages (late, but at least I did it!), and kept them pretty simple. The first page is going to be filled in with doodles of memories, like framed pictures on a wall. I’ll write in a verse I’m trying to memorize on the bottom of the page….
How are you guys doing? Are you preparing for the new school year? This is kind of like the second January of the year, a great time to refocus and make some goals. I’m also reviewing my goals and making some changes. Lower Prices on EVERYTHING Speaking of changes, the first big change I want…
As I was reviewing our financial situation and looking ahead to what is coming up (huge tax bill, a son’s wedding, emergency fund replenished after our roof replacement) I knew I needed to get back to being as intentional as we were in 2009 when we started our Total Money Makeover with Dave Ramsey. So…
One of the main questions people ask me is how I, personally, study the Bible. That’s a big question to answer because about every year I switch it up. Last year I read through the Bible along with my husband using the excellent 5 Day Bible Reading plan. I enjoyed it and that was actually…
So 2021 was pretty abysmal for setting, remembering, and meeting goals. I didn’t have them out where I could see them, and I didn’t review them, so only two were reached. This year I’m setting goals in seven areas and I’ve printed them out and hung them up where they will haunt me daily. I’ll…
For me, every December is practice month! I try to work on just one new habit (or two) that I want to implement in January. I figure this gives me a bit of a head start with developing the habit, and if I miss a day or two, I don’t beat myself up about it…
My first November challenge was to finally shred the rest of our old bills and bank statements. My second challenge was to organize my recipe binders. I needed to get rid of recipes we haven’t made and put in the new ones I’ve been making and using for over a year now that are just…
How did you guys do on your first week of the challenge? I had quite a few of you commit to join me and I would love an update on how it went for you! Here’s how my first challenge (shred old papers) started: how it went… …and how it stands now! After all that…
