Happy Tuesday, May 6, Beloved’s BIRTHDAY!!
Wow, it’s been a couple of weeks of intense “do this now” type rhythm. Our homeschool co-op wraps up this week until fall, the cottage school & college prep classes my kids attend have three more weeks I believe, and we have 7 weeks of “home school” to finish up. All of this and the beautiful 80 degree weather have us a little restless and bouncy. Right now two kids are here in the room, doing squats and talking about Barbara Manatee…
In all the spring craziness I have found a little time for “stock up” shopping. We were able to pair coupons from Swagbucks to stock up on ground turkey and hair care items. We got a great deal on both items and earned 10 swagbucks for each coupon we used.
Funny pair of items, but great all the same. I have four daughters here at home with LONG hair and they go through hair supplies like crazy. I will use the ground turkey for veggie turkey burgers tonight, and veggie turkey patties to put in the freezer. I am going to try grilling them instead of frying this time, and will post later in the week about the results.
Here’s what I am purposing to do this week:
Intentional Relationships
Read Aloud 2 Chapters of Anne of Green Gables
Attend several end of year performances & a GRADUATION!
Hem Petal Rose’s Skirt, Cut pattern for Chica’s skirt

How are your goals coming along? I do hope that they are a guide, but not a taskmaster, allowing you to travel along life intentionally and with purpose, and also with flexibility. Each week, actually every day, I have to remember that my goals keep me on track of an intentional purposeful life, but also allows me flexibility without worry. This past week it doesn’t look as though I accomplished much on my goals, but a full week of life and productivity did take place. A good week of schooling and work was accomplished, shopping for clothing was completed (for now) and some wonderful fellowship took place. Our household of ladies (hubby is out of town working) traveled to the city north to visit with my oldest daughter and her boyfriend. We visited the Botanic Gardens and thoroughly enjoyed each other and the sunshine. Thankfully I still found regular time to read, and finished one of the books on my stack. Now it is Monday, here’s to another try at the goals!
After reading Notes from a Blue Bike I requested a couple of books from the library. “The $100 Startup” was available early in the week and I have not been able to put it down. There is so much information that is encouraging me in a couple of endeavors. Slowly I am also making my way through a couple others in this picture.
I am creating a new wall display at church and these photos will be added this week. These are some of the kids our congregation sponsors through
