List, List Baby

I have one of those crazy schedules that includes kids, homework, work, home, and a whole slew of different things. I try hard to not drop the ball on any one thing, but every once in a while I forget something.

In the past I have covered my laptop with checklists, tasks, meal plans, and schedules of varying types. This school year though I am determined to keep myself a little more organized without jumbling everything all up!

I’ve made a few different types of checklists and will try them out over the next few weeks to see which works best for me…it will no doubt change when kids go back to school and CATS starts back up in the fall. Click here for all of the different check lists

Printable Prayer Journal

I am always on the hunt for fun things to include in bible study. I teach kids from k-12 so it is a challenge to find something that will work with all age groups. I end up designing a lot of my own teaching tools.

I wanted a prayer journal that was easy to use for all ages and was having a hard time finding anything that could work and that was cost effective. Enter my design program!

Here is what I have put together for my kids, and probably myself if we are being honest! Click here for the word document prayer journal

Where to begin…

The beginning I suppose. I feel like I need a place to write down my thoughts on grad school, motherhood, faith, and hobbies. So I guess this is as good of a place as any.

My semester started today and there is no warm up period, it is dive into papers and mountains of reading and lectures. I guess I don’t really need a warm up week I am accustomed to the work load my teachers are handing out. The work so far is about typical of what I have been doing for the past year or so. My only complaint, which I can’t really complain about, is our textbooks, which are included in tuition, are all ebooks, I am not a fan of reading hundreds of pages a week on a kindle. My eyes get so strained and that sets off migraines. I am going to try to use the nightshade feature as much as possible to counteract the amount of screen time I must do just to get my reading done.

The kids start school next week. Emily is super excited to get back to her friends and a normal routine. She isn’t stoked about math, but other than that she is happy to be back! Ellie is a ball of nerves. Who wouldn’t be, she is starting middle school and is worried about everything that entails. Truth be told, I am nervous for her too. She is so smart and will do well…it is just my job to worry as a mother.

I am slowly chugging away at my Beekeeper Cardigan. I am on the bottom button band, just have sleeves, a collar, and side bands to knit…so I guess I am about half way done. I was really hoping to get it done in time for fall weather, but I don’t know if I am going to make it!
