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:

Happy Monday, friends!

We are on week 16 of 2019. This weekend was filled with baseball and also socializing.  I spent time last week doing some spring cleaning and it feels so good to welcome friends into my home. It has me excited for eating dinner outdoors in the next few months. Although the BUGS. I forgot about the bugs.

I need to make more plans for BBQs soon.

This week we have a lot of work to get done before Cooper goes on break. I hope by the end of the week to be finished with my TO -DO lists so I can spend some time recharging. I’ve been sick with a cold this week and all of the time out & about and working has worn me down. I’m ready for a break from the school and work routine for a bit.  A reset and a fresh perspective are much needed right now.

Now that we know what’s up with our taxes, I feel like I can breathe.

The news isn’t great, but I know it’s one less thing to worry about.  Knowing what we’re up against makes all the difference.

It’s WEEK 16. Let’s do this.

One thing at a time. First, let’s figure out our intentions for the week!

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:

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend started with a sleepover at my brother + sister in law’s house in the city. I love that they live so close! I spent the rest of the weekend home alone (boys had a baseball thing)  in introvert work mode (decadent!) working on a handwriting workshop for the school auction.

My Everyday Life: Week 14 on Shutterbean.com

Yesterday I taught the workshop and it went really well. Maybe I’ll share more soon. I didn’t really get to take too many photos since I was teaching.   Now that that project is done, I can focus on all the other stuff I have going onnnnnnnnnn.  My house is a disaster so one of my main goals is to get back on track with my routine.

It’s week 15!

Let’s get into it.

Here are my Intentions for the week!
