Linking up with Our Good Life and Aurie Good for her 3 in 30 Link Up!
My August goals were:
-
I want to tackle my pantry area. Get it ready for the fall harvest and stock up I will be doing.
-
Paint the front porch and trim.
-
Get lessons IDEAS (notice I said ideas--child led means we are a bit on the fluid side, but I want to get supplies out, and things to put before Bear --mommy is a facilitator of her education, I can and will guide it or else all we would do is learn about strawberry shortcake!) figured out for September through December (but leave lots of leeway room). We will slowly start with lessons in Mid August.
This was completed mid August, I can't remeber the exact day, but I exclaimed my delight and rejoiced on Facebook! It was good to complete the big task, though I didn't create the space I thought I would.... oh well.....
DONE! Yes its done and you can see the post on it from this week, wedensday night in fact. Great Paint Pails Batman!
You can read my goals here: our 2012-13 goals.
So with no further ado, here are my September 2012 goals.
- I want to try work boxes , I think. This is a goal. Get things off the shelf and into a few plastic see through boxes. Make it easier for each things to be pulled off the shelf and done. I also want to add that I have a couple DVD's from Susan Evans I still want to watch, and then I will include a honest review... I bought the DVD's myself at the WHO convention--ok the hubs did the buying-- so you will get an HONEST review. *smile*
- Develop a rhythm for our day. Yeah, we will see how this goes.
- Make menu plans for 4 weeks of meals. Yes I will post the finished product when I am done.
And what ya think??????
Or
Have a blessed weekend my gentle friends!
Great goals! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marla!
DeleteGreat goals. We use work boxes and love it. They help Gavin to know what needs to be accomplished and I allow him to work at his own pace and order. I mark them with his picture and our picture so he knows what he can do on his own and what he needs my help with. P.S. I like the 2nd button. :)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the work boxes help since Grandma helps us in our homeschool classroom as well. :-)
DeleteMenu planning for a month is a great goal...here's a post I did in Feb that might give you some ideas too. Good luck! http://skipperclan.com/2012/02/01/29-dinner-ideas-for-29-days/
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will check it out. I have been wanting to have a plan for a long long time and have started many times but this time it will be a focus to do and do it! Thank you.
DeleteCongratulations on getting so much accomplished during August!! I've heard a lot about the work boxes. I'll be interested in seeing how they work for your family. I'm doing menu planning for September as well. It should make homeschooling easier with everything laid out for the month.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds! ;-) I will let you know how work boxes go......
DeleteWow, you've done great! The menus will be worth it for sure—I have admiration for those that can do that. I'll also be interested in what you think of Susan's DVDs. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteKim, We have two September goals in common. Meals and routine. Sounds like the beginning of a school year to me. I have heard much about work boxes. I think they are a fabulous idea. I would definitely use them if I had more than one child to school this year. Good job last month too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am hoping the work boxes keep us on track more or less, or at least let the rabbit trails be shorter. :-)
