My Goal for the month of October…

We are fully enjoying the new schoolroom and still have a few loose ends to tie up to get it completely finished. Having our own space has been wonderful.

As for my goal for this month ~ more family time. Period. I’ve been doing much better getting the work/school time balanced, but there are always distractions. This month Rick and I are really wanting to implement more hands-on family time since we’ve been so busy trying to get random projects done around the house. I know that there will always be things to do {it’s a never-ending cycle}, but we’re hoping to create a better balance and focus on the things that REALLY matter. :)

The biggest aim is to cut out the bulk of tv time and finish reading some great book series that we’ve been reading as well as some audio series. We’re reading the Little House on the Prairie series along with some of the Imagination Station books and the kids are really enjoying them…so we’re going to keep it up!

Stay tuned too!! I have some great giveaways, coupon codes and new printables to share with you all, including some more Before Five in a Row printables along with a Thanksgiving Printable Pack as well. There have been a few more things I have to share as well…just need to sit down and do it!
