Intentions for the Week

 

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week- Week 28 of 2020

Hello, friends. It’s Monday! Did you have a nice 4th of July? We hung out with our pod around a pool. It was pretty mellow. We had hot dogs, drinks, cookies & fun. We spent the weekend with my niece and we did art together and we had some great conversations. I love the adult she is becoming and cannot believe she is 21. Another week at home working with my family. I really hope we can get out for an evening walk sometime this week.  Let’s take a moment and write down our Intentions for the Week!

Summer Bucket List 2020

We are already 10 days into Summer. How does it feel besides weird?! For the past 5 years,  I’ve been making a Summer Bucket List (with Cooper’s help) so we can be intentional about how we spend time during the Summer together as a family. It’s a great activity and it helps us all figure out what we want to get out of our time. 

Let’s dive into some of my past Summer Bucket Lists, shall we?

Intentions for the Week – Week 27 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

We had a pretty nice weekend here. I had a lady art date with my friend. The boys did baseball. Casey got involved in a bmx bike refinishing project. I cleaned the house and did a lot of straightening. Oh, and I also did a bunch of gardening. I am not sure we left the house most of the weekend. This week I have to figure out how to occupy Cooper’s time while we work from home. Hoping to get a big batch of stuff done so I can block out some time with my boo. 

I almost forgot! I FINALLY DID MEAL PREP!
