Mission of the Month: June 2012 {and May 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.)

Personal:

1. Get up before the kids during the week to have my devotion and prayer time everyday this month. I did great with this except for the time I was on a mini vacation for my sister’s graduation and once we finished up our school year. So, I didn’t do it EVERYDAY but most days!

2. Memorizing four Bible verses. Needs more work!

3. Complete 10 scrapbook pages.

Marriage:

4. Keep flirting!

Parenting:

5. Finish The 5 Love Languages of Children. Awesome book! Check out my review & giveaway!

Homeschooling:

6. Begin incorporating African American history. Did you see the Elijah McCoy printables that I made? Stay tuned, I’ve got lots more to come!

Homemaking:

7. Replace a few of the plants in the garden that have already died.

Ministry/Friendships/Extended Family:

8. Write 2 letters.

9. Decide on a ministry opportunity for my kids.

Blogging/Online Activity:

10. Share my new blogging planner. Check it out here!

11. Finish transferring all of my printable files over from 4shared to my MamaJenn.com site. Almost done!

12. Format the new timeline on my Education Cubes Facebook page.

So, while I did accomplish quite a bit, I still left a few things undone. So…
