Mission of the Month: April 2012 {and March Accomplishments}

Welcome to Mama’s Mission of the Month! My hope is that this will help me {and you} follow through on some of the goals that we have set for the month! So, if you are a mama and you want to join in, check out the intro post! (If you have already read the rules, you can easily grab the buttons from the Buttons Tab on the top of the sidebar.)

1. Get up before the kids during the week to have my devotion and prayer time. Getting up before the kids is actually {STILL} working…if you don’t count our mini vacation and the time it is taking to get back in the groove! Don’t worry, I STILL do plan to share what has essentially transformed our whole day!!!

2. Finish reading Eat That Frog!

3. Read Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible. Almost done with the book! I’m starting to take hold of my Page 23 Vision!

4. Complete 10 scrapbook pages. Ummm, still like 5 years behind!

Marriage:

5. Remember to flirt with my hubby everyday. I’m getting better, but this is STILL a tough one to remember to do…still haven’t implemented my little “something-something” to help me not forget…

Parenting:

6. Diligently implement The Child-Training Bible into our method of discipline. Oh how I appreciate The Child-Training Bible! Review coming soon!!!!

Homeschooling:

7. Complete two read-alouds to the kids.

8. Finish making the alphabet bean-bags that I started about a year ago!

9. Decide on our Science and Art Fair submissions for our homeschool group. We used some of our See The Light projects for the art submission. We didn’t have time to finish our science submission b/c of our mini vacation.

Homemaking:

10. Finish purging the remaining rooms in the house. Feels SOO good!

Ministry/Friendships/Extended Family:

Financial:

13. Finish gathering documents for tax preparation. So happy to be done with this! I got a little help from Your Blogging Business!

Blogging/Online Activity:
