Goal One: Add one recipe a week to my From Our Kitchen tab I have the photos for one recipe done, but still have to type out the recipe itself. I am hoping to get it done over the weekend. Goal Two: Plan our Africa Unit for the second half of the […]
Goal One: Add one recipe a week to my From Our Kitchen tab My husband was conveniently making Beef Barley soup this past weekend. It is one of his favorites. Instead of using stew beef this time we used hamburger because we already had some in the freezer, thus making the soup cheaper […]
After taking the month of September off, I think I am ready to dive back in and tackle some more goals. It seems like so long ago that I had set and worked on goals. I had to go back and review what I had completed and where I wanted to head for the month […]
Goal One: Extension from July – “Tone” The whole family (even my mother) has hopped on the “rewind” band wagon! I find that if I can keep a cool head and a calm tone, then it is easier to deal with the kids and they are more likely to respond in a similar […]
Goal One: Extension from July – “Tone” I am finding myself adjusting my own “tone” more often now. If I start out nice, they tend to respond nicer as well. Goal Two: If it takes less than 1 minute, do it NOW! I decided that since we are 3 weeks in […]
. Goal One: Extension from July – “Tone” . This week I am not sure if I, personally, took 1 step forward or 2 backwards. While at the gym having a discussion with Chloe, I took a not so pleasant tone with her. She later pointed it out and asked me why. My excuses we […]
. Last week I posted my July Week 4 with some hints to my goals for this month. Now, here are my goals and my August Week 1 progress all rolled in together! This month my main focus is getting prepared to start our “official” school year on September 12th. During the summer we go […]
. I missed posting my July Week 3 goals last week, but I certainly have not forgotten what my goals are! So far, this summer has been filled with sun, pool, beach, friends, family, sports, etc. We are enjoying ourselves immensely, and I am appreciating the small break from the routine of school work, planning, […]
. Goal One: Change the “tone” in our home. . The “rewind” is being used less and less now. I find the kids halting their behavior more quickly when I start to raise my hand, or speak in protest of how they are acting. The one time we used the “rewind” the other day, it […]
Today I am featured on the 3in30 web site to tell everyone how it works for me. I have only been a participating for a few months, and while I don’t have a 100% success rate, I am doing pretty well! Below is a short excerpt from my post. But please head over to […]
. Goal One: Change the “tone” in our home. . This one is my important one for this month, and possibly the months to come. We are doing reasonably well with this. When one of us (including me) has a not so nice tone, we “rewind” and try again. Now the kids know what is […]
. I am already starting out July by being behind in posting my goals! Never fear though as I have known what they are going to be and have been diligently working on them (well, some of them). My first goal, and the biggest one I have chosen to tackle may take more than one […]
