It’s been a short week since I shared my July goals, but here is this week’s update. I enjoyed another afternoon at the pool with the kids and a fun scavenger hunt with our local PWOC groups! It was also my birthday this week. I had lunch with a mentor in my business and ended the day with a Southern Style dinner followed by carrot cake brought by my sweet friend Amanda.
Create a Digital Scrapbook of 2011
I haven’t worked on this goal yet, I plan to sort through photos of each month over the coming week.
Workout 3 Times Weekly with No Weight Gain
I worked out twice and honestly, got lazy on Friday so I skipped the third workout. I had grand intentions of working out Saturday but we were happily surprised by a visit from family members. That meant I got a jumpstart on the cleaning and organizing I had planned for next week.
Plan Meals and Home Maintenance for the Month
This will be the primary focus for the coming week. I made a significant grocery shopping trip today and got a jumpstart on the cleaning but I need to do the following.
- Create a meal plan for two weeks
- Make several bulk meals for the freezer: waffles, enchiladas, etc.
- Print a chore schedule for the teens
- Coordinate calendars with my husband for our work, travel, and kids’ activities
- Coordinate rides, etc for kids during my travel time
What do you do to prepare your family for your absence when you travel?









A surprise visit is always so nice.
Happy belated Birthday. I am also a July birthday mine is tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!
Happy birthday to you too! I love how social media helps our friends celebrate summer birthdays, kinda makes up for all those summers when we weren’t in school and it seemed like no one knew we had a birthday
Nice work! Sounds like cleaning was your third workout
Oh, I like your thinking! Actually, that scavenger hunt was really my third workout if I think about it…we ran ourselves everywhere!
Happy Birthday
What a fun way to spend your day! I skipped a day this week biking riding as well…I think it’s good to take a day off
Hope your weekend was wonderful!
