Housekeeping Requires Intellect and Skill

I just read a great post by my friend Dallas at Abounding Treasures. It describes how housekeeping requires intellect and knowledge, skill and resourcefulness. I totally agree. Being a stay at home mom takes work, lots of work. It's not a mindless existence. It encouraged me and hopefully it will encourage you, too.

Blessings,

Goals for the New Year

I don't normally make New Year's Resolutions or really even sit down in January and chart new goals. I probably should because I have heard it said, "If you don't know where you are going any train will take you there." I think that was Doug Phillips.
I guess I have a running list in my head of things I'd like to do or do better. But this year I want to write them down so that I can look back to see if I have accomplished my goals.

1. Spend more time with God in prayer and reading the Bible. "More" is an abstact quantity but I do want to be in His presence um...more! :-)

2. Be grateful for little things.

3. Take time to smell the flowers. Do what it takes to enjoy my family and my life in a fuller way.

4. Make new friends.

5. Make a quilt.

6. Learn how to write and publish books.

7. Increase our home business.

8. Establish a regular date night with my dear husband.

9. Have fun!

10. Help my children each learn a new skill.

Well, that about does it. I am looking forward to a great year.
Hope your year is great, too!

Check out Biblical Womanhood with Crystal Paine. Lots of other lovely ladies have posted their goals, too.
