This Weeks Goals 4/14
This week I was able to get quite a few of my goals done. But I still don’t have the plan done for our garden but that hasn’t stopped me from planting some new seeds in the garden. 🙂 Our seedlings we started on the refrigerator are getting bigger and needed to be replanted into bigger pots. I have a cold frame set up so they can grow a little larger before I transplant them into the garden.
I finished our menu plan for the next 5 weeks and went and did my once a month shopping trip at Winco Foods this week too. I sometimes dread doing the plan as it takes about an hour to complete and make my shopping list but it is nice to be done for the next 5 weeks.
I had a fun time shopping with my daughter this week. We used the shopping trip to go over how to figure out the best price of a certain product. We found that the 3-lb bag of onions were actually less expensive than the 5-lb bag of onions and the 5-lb bag of flour actually saved up $.25 every 10 pounds of flour we bought. I try to apply science and math to real life as much as possible. I think it helps to motivate kids when they can see how what they are learning is used in everyday real life. 🙂
Here is what I was able to accomplish this past week,

Hi Shelly! It looks like you did a wonderful job with your goals last week. 🙂 I working on reading to my kids more, and I’ve found that having it as a goal definitely helps me, too.
Great job on getting your exercise in last week! I hope you have a great week!
Thanks Sandra, My goal list really helps to keep me focused on a few things. If I don’t have a goal list, I end up running around all week working a little here and there and still not getting much done.
Hi Shelly! It’s been great to follow along with you in the 30 day cleaning challenge as well. Your updates are a lot of fun. Keep chugging along with your goals. -Jenny
Jenny, thanks so much for the encouragement. You are so kind. 🙂
