Gratitude:
Since I started my family journal that I jot a few sentences in each day, I've been able to really focus on the positive things that happen in our day. I'm so thankful that I have two fabulous children. They have such distinct personalities and make me laugh so much. I'm thankful that I'm home with them and hope that I will always be able to devote so much time to them. It is so important to me....What are your plans for your family this month? What are you going to be doing to celebrate love? Link up your posts about your plans for the month.
You still haven't finished that bedroom? That makes me giggle...you'll do it for sure this month though since you've committed to it! Loving your family focus!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I committed to it LAST month too. The problem is that our bedroom is the dumping ground for laundry and toys and I can never get it cleared enough. I'm banning all toys from that room starting TODAY!
ReplyDeleteI need to use your journal idea.
ReplyDeleteGood plan. Very organized and focused. (What do I do to link up? 'Splain, please.)
ReplyDeleteIm going to do this and link it up for tomorrows post!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun you do this every month, and a great way to stay motivated and get in all the time with the kids, the hubby, and yourself. I am so excited for LOST too! But since it is on so late it will probably be tomorrow before I watch it (10 is late to me!). :)
ReplyDeleteI promise I'm going to do a post and link up. Tonight I will. After I get the laundry put away, the girls in jammies, we read stories, I get them to sleep, *and* I finish my bible lesson. Yeah, I'm going to really try. Hi, my name is Liz and I'm a blog slacker.
ReplyDeleteYou wear me out! I'm far too lazy to decorate for any holiday other than Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLinked my post up!
ReplyDeleteLove your plan and can't wait to see finished pictures of your bedroom redo ;) Thanks again for doing this...it really helps me stay focused on the important things throughout the month!
ReplyDeleteI love how you make your holiday decorations and get the kids involved in helping you decorate.
ReplyDeleteI used to have the kids make their Valentine's Day cards, too.
I don't get out that much and when I do, I am almost always with Bill, so I usually make my card for him myself. He always says they are the sweetest. This year my wonderful friend Stef sent me one of her professionally made cards that I can give to him - won't he be surprised; and we are going to a nice French restaurant for dinner.
You are such a great mom and wife - I wanna be you when I grow up... oh wait, I'm older than you!! "Oh my heck"..... you know what I mean! :-)
