Our Blog Goals

Lately I have been thinking about this blog and what I wanted it to be. I go between posting updates and photos of the kids to posting articles, blogs and books that are inspiring to me. Our blog is my homepage when I log onto the computer. I use it to view friend's blogs and other blogs that I read daily to get inspired, so as the 1st web page I go to when I get online I like to have articles that better me as a wife, mom and person and that could be inspiring to others who are reading. I read older posts and they help to convict and remind me of the woman I want to be. I hope this blog will not only be a means to share the growth and progress of our children but also a means to inspire those reading it. So I just wanted to share with the 2 people who read this blog what my goal for our blog is so you weren't disappointed when you saw posts that didn't have a dozen pictures of our darling children attached.

This week I was inspired by a Maximize Your Mornings E-Book I got for free from the Inspired to Action blog. This book was a quick and easy read that discussed why it is so important for moms to rise early to pray, exercise and plan their day. I attempted to join the Mahaney women from the Girl Talk blog (one of my favorite blogs to follow) a while back in their 5 O'Clock Club but I couldn't stick with it. It's hard to get up so early when I don't get home from work until 11pm. But the mornings I did do it I loved it. My kids are early risers (usually all 3 are up by 6:30am) so to wake up and get my latte made and a solid Bible study and journal session in I need to be up by 5:30am.

This morning I started what will hopefully become a daily routine of spending time with the Lord and planning my day out so that I am a calmer more refreshed wife and mom. I will keep you posted as to how I do. Now that you all know what I am doing hopefully that will keep me disciplined enough to stay with it knowing that I have an audience (of 2) to answer to.

Have a great weekend!
