Goals: Week of February 3, 2013

I'm scrambling to write these down, as I spent so much time working with the kids on Valentines and going through my email that now I'm chomping at the bit to get some other things done. Anyway, I haven't posted goals since I closed my last blog, but seeing as I just posted yesterday on goals...I should start sharing them.  So here goes the goals for this week: Spiritual: Complete personal devotions every day Complete devotions with Prince Charming every day Family/Kids: Spend 3 hours this week with each child (this is a lot for me, sadly enough) Do something…

And every time this happens, I sigh because I can't reward my kids with money.
