Weekly Goals 4/9

Wow - last week was a busy week! I worked two full days and two half days and we had company over the weekend. I spent so much time in the kitchen! Here's the rundown of what I made:

• Artisan bread (This was my Do-It-Yourself project for April) with Tuscan dipping oil
• Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread (recipe from Better Homes and Gardens magazine)
• Gluten Free Devil's Food cakes (from Gluten Free on a Shoestring cookbook)
• Cheese Dip (similar to this recipe) with tortilla chips
• Gluten Free Chocolate Breakfast Muffins
• A Gluten Free Egg Bake (for Easter breakfast at church)
• And there was plenty of other cooking happening, too!

Even amidst the busyness of the week, I did fairly well with my weekly goals:

Family Goals

• Love my husband.

Personal Goals

• Exercise three times for 30 minutes each time: Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
• Finish reading "Margin" by Richard Swenson. I finished this book, plus I also read "A Love that Multiplies" by the Duggar's. I enjoyed having some extra downtime to read this weekend, especially on Easter (after an 8 hour morning at church!).
• Vacation Bible School: Begin organizing "wish list." Send email about ordering together. Write new bulletin announcement.

Home Management

• Sweep and mop floors.
• April DIY project: Artisan bread.
• Make Gluten Free Egg Bake for Easter Breakfast at church.
• Make Gluten Free Chocolate Breakfast Muffins.
• Continue cleaning out desk and reorganizing second bedroom. We are hoping to sell the desk - but it needs to be empty first!

Blog Goals

• Begin Top 10 List series. This week's focus is the top 10 food items I buy.
• Promote Money Saving Mom's free, live webinar on Thursday.

Of course, we were hoping things would slow down this week, but that's not the case! That would be too easy. :) A member passed away on Friday, so now we have a funeral this week. I have another lengthy list of lofty goals for this week though!

Family Goals

• Love my husband.

Personal Goals

• Exercise three times for 30 minutes each time: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
• Read "The Tightwad Gazette" by Amy Dacyczyn.
• Vacation Bible School: Wish list, leaders.

Home Management

• Finish filing and organization in second bedroom.
• Post flyer to sell desk and lamp.
• Make a dish to take to the potluck on Thursday night.
• Chop onions for freezer.
• Burn the pictures on my computer to CDs (my computer is nearly 4.5 years old and it's starting to concern me at times...).

Blog Goals

• Post reading update for "Margin" and "A Love That Multiplies."
• Post an update about April's DIY project: Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.
• Top 10 Series: household items.
