January 19- 25

So because of the snow I had to look at the calendar just to figure out what day of the week it is and what the date was. We have had the most bizarre winter ever. Let me recap this week for you. Oh wait, I can't even remember what days we were in school and which we weren't. I think we went three days but I am not totally sure. There has been so much snow and cold this winter that I am so ready for it to be gone! I want to be somewhere warm and on a normal schedule. It is so hard to be motivated to do anything when it is this cold and you know that you are not going anywhere.

Here is what I do remember about this week. We had a lot of time spent doing family things. A lot of pajama time. Some normal school time but even those were crazy because of delays. and my house went from clean to dirty to clean again.

Let me add some pics to help show what our week was like!

Organizing

In my attempt to organize my life, I have found a new way to organize the blogs that I love to read! It is bloglovin'! I am ubber excited about it because not only can I follow the ones I love but it even suggests new blogs for me!!! Love it!! I love things that do the work for me!

Jan 11 - 19

So it is a little more than a week but better late than never!!

So looking back at the calendar what happened this week? Not a lot to tell you the truth! We started back to school and only had one 2-hour delay this week! It was great getting back to school and seeing my students but I really did miss spending the time with my girls. I also realized that when I work a full day I don't get a lot accomplished at night! I need to work on fixing that. 

We were back in the full swing of things with dance and school! Jenna also made her second visit this year to the dentist to get a cavity filled.

I have decided that each week I am going to set a goal for myself that will change my life for the better! This weeks goal was to only have 1-2 Diet Cokes a day. I was so very proud of myself that I only had one a day and was able to substitute a lot of what I was drinking with water! 

It was not as hard as I thought it would be! I decided the key is to stay busy. It was not a very exciting week. But it was our week!

52 Weeks in a Year!

So there are 52 weeks in a year. I decided that this year I want to be more intentional about spending time with my family. This is how I am going to keep myself accountable to that goal!

I am going to, once a week, write about what we have done the last week! Some weeks will be super duper boring because of work and school and general life, but I know we will have some great weeks! I am looking forward to really focusing on what is good in my life. I have three great reasons to be thankful.

This picture makes me laugh because it is so them. Crazy in the middle!!!

Here goes with the first post! So I am actually behind a week but I will quickly catch up!

Week 1: December 29 - January 4
This was the second week of our Christmas Break from school and work for me! It was a great week to clean! I cleaned the whole house and realized how much stuff we have in this house that we do not use. I am blessed with material things and we decided that we do not need this much stuff. One thing we will be doing this year is purging our stuff. I have found some great inspiration and ideas from reading what Shay writes on her blog: Mix and Match Family. I love reading her blog and realistically applying some of the things she does. I also envy the fact that she lives in Texas! Anyways, cleaning that is what I was talking about. Like I said purging is a great word for us this year! It will be a long process but we can get it accomplished. The girls and I didn't do a lot this week because we were recovering from the Harter's being here all last week. We so love them being here! Here are a few pics from that week!

I think about sums up what we did this week! Lots of cleaning and sleeping and just hanging out!
