A link-up of Goals and Accomplishments!

Evaluation from last week: Quality time was a tough one this past week! My husband and I had so much going on that we only got to sit down twice for some real one-on-one time. But I did succeed in finishing the party prep and costume making...along with a WHOLE  bunch of other stuff that serves as this week's motivation!


~MOTIVATION~ 
What did I accomplish last week?
I packed more into this week than I think I have in a long, long time. So much, in fact, that I wasn't sure if I was going to get it all done. But I did...I wrote my final guest post over at Ms.MommyHH6, (which will be published later today), planned and pulled off a party, sewed a costume by hand, got together with friends and family nearly every day, went to three birthday celebrations in one weekend, made it through the emotional roller coaster of my son turning one (I never would've believed that a birthday could make me so happy and sad at the same time until I became a mom!) and I still came out on the other side of this week alive. It was truly a "victory in inches" type of week!

~DIRECTION~
What's my goal for this week?
Two words: Potty training. Our three-year-old free spirit has finally taken to the idea of using the loo, so I'll do my best to take full advantage of that! Goal number two is to actually enjoy Halloween with my kids this year instead of stressing about all the little stuff I usually do--I'd like to just let the kids be kids and allow myself to join in on their excitement. I'm also going to keep working on that quality time (especially since my husband and I get to celebrate five years of wedded bliss this weekend!) and also work on cleaning our room. I've single-handedly destroyed it in the past week...really, it looks like Hurricane Sandy took a detour through my closet.

~ACCOUNTABILITY~
What steps will I take to move toward that goal?
I set appointments on my calendar for the potty training. You would think that it wouldn't come to that, but I realized last week that while I'm good at remembering for a few minutes, after an hour or two of other distractions I tend to forget that we've ditched the diapers, which gets messy! So I've set reminders for myself to remind my son to go potty. Oh, motherhood. Hopefully just setting the goal of enjoying Halloween with the kids will help me do so--we'll see how my stress level fares when it comes time to run door-to-door. I also set calendar reminders for quality time; as for my room, tripping over five pairs of shoes on the way to my side of the bed will hopefully be enough of a reminder to kick me in to gear!

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

    Yes! Potty training! You can do it! Consistency should work. Good luck. :)

    I stumbled upon your blog after visiting Megan at Ordinarily Obsessed. Oh my gosh that was one busy week you had! Hopefully you get as much done this week (or at least make some headway on the potty training!) I don't know what I'd do some days if I didn't put reminders in my phone--I can barely remember what I had for lunch today much less what plans I've committed to tomorrow!

      Thanks for stopping by, Jordan! Reminders are a lifesaver, aren't they? Except for the times I forget to set them ;)

Accurate Information On Endometriosis | Awareness Month | My Journey

I am #1in10, and I'm on a mission to spread awareness on proper treatment of endometriosis so other women, I pray, can avoid suffering for the same life-altering span (18 years) as me. Endometriosis is a likely-genetic disease where tissue similar to that of the endometrial tissue in the uterus (which either nourishes a newly-formed baby or is shed through menstruation if conception doesn't occur) grows outside of the uterus; usually in the abdominal cavity, often on other organs within the abdomen, and sometimes rare locations such as the lungs, throat, or even in the brain. This displaced endometriosis tissue responds to hormone fluctuations as well as produces its own estrogen , and causes widespread and progressive acute pain, fatigue, and infertility among many other symptoms.   This is not a small problem. Approximately 10% of women worldwide endure endometriosis (akin to the number of women with diabetes), yet for the majority of women suffering from endometri

What I Read in 2018 - aka The Brief Resurrection of My Blog

I'm publishing a blog post--a Christmas Miracle! It likely won't happen for another year, but I might never forgive my bibliophile self (and you might not either) for skipping this year's official record of my reads, so here it is!.   I thought my list was relatively short this year, but discovered the opposite after going through my my titles: the standard WWII collection, fiction and non, audiobooks, kids stuff, spiritual reads --the whole enchilada-- with my totally subjective ratings, content analysis, and the briefest of reviews (wink) I could manage for each.  Fiction // Historical Fiction // Based on True Story  The Women in the Castle - 3.5 Stars New concept WWII book about a trio of German women whose husbands perish in a failed plot against Hitler, exploring how their lives play out. Phenomenal writing style - I literally stopped a few different times to marvel at a sentence or phrase simply for its beauty and creativity. Initially I didn
