Goal Update

Monday is going to be my goal update day!  I will try to use this as a way to be held accountable for my weekly goals, and as I work towards my Monthly and Yearly Goals...


Each week I start Monday with a new outlook, telling myself that I am going to get everything on my list(s) accomplished and that I am still going to have time (and energy) to do other things as well, but by Thursday night I am feeling like the week is over and I just want to sleep in and take "time off" because it's the weekend!  Let's see if this week I make it through my entire list.


To Do This Week:


*Write a Letter to ODOT and Mail in the Ticket and Fee (For My Dear Husband)
*Celebrate Mom's Birthday!
*Spend Time with My "Little" (Especially Since We Missed Last Week's Visit!)
*Work on DeClutter Calendar
*Read Money Saving Mom's Budget (Check Out Her Site at www.moneysavingmom.com) 
*Work on Surveys, Panels, etc.




Update on Goals:


*Surveys - January has been Record Setting - $96.34 and the month is only 1/2 over!
*Couch to 5k - Week 1 is Finished & I am Ready to Start Week 2 tomorrow morning!
*Budget - We have been doing great at staying out of stores, only using gift cards for restaurants, and not buying anything we don't need, however... Vacation is Just around the corner & we decided to treat ourselves to a ski weekend at the end of the month!
*Baking - Homemade Cherry Pie for Sean's Birthday (twice because the first one didn't make it to his birthday... he was eating it for breakfast, lunch, & dinner!)




Set Your Self for Success by Using Goals and Discipline to Get There.  You never get any where if you don't try.

Caramel Apple Pie

While my 1st attempt at making Apple Pie was not a full failure, it was not the prettiest site, as all of the edges were burnt...completely black. I made another pie yesterday, which I covered with foil while baking, and had a great turnout!  We even started eating it before I remember to take a picture, so here it is partially eaten! I used a frozen pie crust and filled it with the apple mixture (recipe below) and then covered with a Pillsburry Rolled Pie Crust that I cut into pieces and created a lattice pie topper.  I then drizzled caramel on top while the pie was still warm so that it would soak in.  The finished project...delicious!  Even my husband (a pie snob) loved it. Apple Mixture (Recipe from Pillsbury) 6 Cups Thinly Sliced, Peeled Apples 3/4 Cup Sugar 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1/4 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice Mix All Ingredients Together and Spoon Into Pie Crust, Cove...

Ready for Autumn?!

When school starts, that means it's time for the routines to set in, new schedules and activities to begin, and best of all....the weather to cool off and Fall Fun can Begin! I love jeans, sweatshirts, boots, bonfires, apple cider, pumpkin patches, even football.  Give me anything and everything fall!  However, this heat wave does not pair well with warm doughnuts and apple cider - it just makes for bees and overheating.  The pumpkin patches aren't as fun because you don't have on jeans and boots and crisp weather to make it more fun.  The barns stink from the heat when you are trying to feed the cows and enjoy the animals around the farm. This weekend we are going to make our Fall Bucket List and wish for a little chill in a the air so we can enjoy this beautiful season of life we are given.   We will continue to make new goals, improve on our good habits, and find new ways to love each other to the fullest.

Happy Mother's Day

This will be another fun holiday to celebrate, in quarantine. Luckily, things are starting to loosen up around our area so we are able to spend quality time with some of the family that we normally celebrate with, I was gifted a beautiful cart that we have had for close to 10 years sitting in our backyard.  My husband refurnished and repurposed it into a garden area for me so that I can enjoy my plants, without rabbits eating them, and without having to bend over to weed them and take care of them.  I also get the bonus of it having wheels, so when it decides that it is going to snow in the middle of May, I can just wheel it into the garage! This afternoon B decided to decorate the side of it with chalk, telling me how much she loves me, and that I am the best Mommy.  I planted tomatoes, mint, rosemary, kale and cucumbers.  Let's see how much of a green thumb I actually have! I was also given some lavender plants, as I have fell in love with lavender ove...
