The Week Ahead

By


I love how Lora at My Blessed Life always does a weekly preview post. So, I thought I would give it a shot this week, especially since we will be kind of all over the place. This might help me stay on track. Here are the plans ...

Monday
  • Babysitting my 3 month old niece, Ashtyn, in the morning and then again in the afternoon
  • Having a "regular" day of school, in between babysitting, with our unit study being Indonesia
  • Cub scouts
  • Chicken tetrazzini for dinner
Tuesday
  • Halloween unit study full of literature, writing, math, crafts, and cooking
  • Handbell choir practice
  • Spooky burgers and bloody finger fries for dinner
Wednesday
  • More Halloween fun with a trip to the pumpkin patch
  • Trick-or-treating on Main Street and at the nursing home
  • Hot dogs at church for dinner
Thursday
  • Another "regular" day of school, with more Indonesia studies
  • Calzones for dinner
  • Run "to town" for groceries in the evening
Friday
  • Start an Election unit study that we will finish on Tuesday
  • Daddy's here!
  • Potato soup for dinner
Saturday
  • Daddy's still here, so hanging out with him
  • Lesson planning for the next week
  • Food prep for meals taking to Oklahoma for Monday and Tuesday (we are going for a three day visit so I am cooking meals to take since Rick has limited supplies at our empty house there.) 
  • Clean house
  • Goulash for dinner
Sunday
  • American stew into the crockpot for lunch after church
  • Church

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom.
