Daily Goals - Wednesday February 24, 2021

 

Happy Wednesday!! The last few days have been busy! Tuesday, we ended up with about 5 inches on snow. Not that I mind the snow, but it makes for a busier day. Hubby is back to work 2 days a week. That sucks, but at least he has a good job. I also have been getting calls left and right about the daycare. Sounds like a lot of people are getting back to work. They are looking at smaller daycares. I’m so excited. TO be back to a full and busy schedule. Though there are days that I can’t wait to retire from work and spend so much time with my hubby.  Once life gets a normal again, I would love to honestly start to plan our year of travel! I love to see the country. Today it is supposed to be nice out! I’m so happy about that! The kids love to be outside and honestly so do I. 50* weather is so noce compare to the 20*s we have been having!

Today’s Goals

·         Work – I work from 6:30an-6pm today! It will be a busy day!

·         Garden time – Plant some seeds!

·         Yoga – Time to get back into the way thing where before COVID-19.

·         Bed – Ugh my side of the sleep number seem to have crashed! Luckily, we have the piece to fix it. I woke up twice to put air in it. I love the bed but am not happy that in 5 years we are having such issues with it.

·         Cleaning – Clean the bathroom

Daily Goals - Monday, February 22, 2021

 

Happy Monday!! New week New goals. Yesterday was a day of rest. I enjoyed it. We did get the basement to hit 70* this weekend which is amazing because it has been in the low 20*s this weekend. The stove warmed a none warm spot over 50*. I’m so excited. During the week I would like it to stay around 60* because honestly, I can’t go downstairs every 2 hours. I have little. And on the weekends be 70* at least until we are down with the winter. I’m also excited about the stove because didn’t really start it until Thursday during the last snow storm. At that point the basement was 35* degrees (we don’t have any heat in the basement. The heat our electric heat gives off was running everywhere, and costing us so much because it was kicking on all the time. I haven’t heard it kick on in a while. That is great too! Saving money!!

Today’s Goals

·         Woodstove – I need to keep up with it. We also need to bring in some wood. I want to do that when I put wood on the fire.

·         Garden time – Plant Aqua tanks today!

·         Yoga – Time to get back into the way thing where before COVID-19.

·         Bed – Ugh my side of the sleep number seem to have crashed! Luckily, we have the piece to fix it. I woke up twice to put air in it. I love the bed but am not happy that in 5 years we are having such issues with it.

·         Cleaning – Time to clean the house so it looks amazing! I should have an interview today; they are calling for 3-5inch of snow. So, who knows?

Daily Goals - February 20, 2021

 

Waiting for me to read

It’s Saturday! I slept in this morning! It felt great. Now up and moving, wood stove started, animals feed and breakfast ready. Now sitting down. Live is a little different right now. Hubby sister came to here to live. She is at my parents for a little, then will head to the camper for a few months. Until she can get herself established and move out on her own. I believe sometime, in live you need a chance to go somewhere safe and start over. Life is hard sometime. We had my parents, when we were young. It was nice, because it let us save to get an apartment for a year. Then we bought our home, I was 24 when we bought our home! Without the chance to start new, I don’t know where would have been.

Today’s Goals

·         Woodstove – I need to keep up with it. We also need to bring in some wood. I want to do that when I put wood on the fire.

·         Garden time – I want to work on getting the stuff ready for this week. The kids and I are going to start to some more seed, when it is nice out this week! It is supposed to be 50*! We will plant our spring seeds. We are behind on planting, but it is hard with littles not to get a little behind.

·         Clean Fish Tanks – I would like to take sometime and clean the fish tanks. They are gross.

·         Read – I love reading. I am working on two books now.

·         Cleaning – Today I like to finish cleaning the green house.

Yesterday’s Goals

·         Wood stove – Keep up with the wood stove. I would love to have the basement at 70* (which would be nice because the basement isn’t heated.) It will help cut down on the heating bill. We did amazing with this goal! The basement hit 70*, plus when we are down there waiting for the stove to hit the temperature to close it we work on cleaning up the basement a little! It is a huge win everyway you look at it!!!

·         Work – I would 6:30am-5:30pm today. We are learning about the letter Ll. We had a fun day! The kids are in love with this new sensory toy I found at Michaels. It is called Floof. It is like moon sand but soft. It is nontoxic. White like snow and so light. We have played with it all week for hour a day. Getting little to sit and play with anything long time is hard.

·         Meals – I have been so bad with being on THM right now. I don’t even know why. I just want stuff I know isn’t heathy for me. I want to focus today on eating healthy food. I did okay but not the best ¾ meals where on plan. So I will take it.

·         Gardening time – I want to plant some seeds in our aquaponic tank. I have peas, I want to find my tomatoes, and then some spinach, kale, and a few herbs. The kids will have a blast with it. We didn’t get to this.

·         Reading- I want to continue to read my books. I got a chapter in my learning book done and then started my new book. Right now I’m reading 10 days to a less defiant child, by Jeffery Bernstein, and Bridgerton The Duke and I, by Julia Quinn. I am enjoy both books.

What are your goals for today? Let me know, you have a blog hook them up! Let’s work together to be the best we can be.

Garden time - Seed Reusable Labels

Making name tags for my seeds I’m planting is very important. I have though a few ways on making seeds. I have decided to make them and then laminate them. Then I will use Velcro to put them on my seed trays. That way they won’t get ruined when wet. I can take them off and use the trays again and again. It is organized. I can reuse the tags! This is a win in so many ways!

Spring/New seed needing labels

Designing the labels

Making the labels

Seed labels!!

I love these labels!! They are going to work great! How do you label, your seeds?

Healthy E (THM) Breakfast

Happy Friday! I’m so excited that it is Friday! It is icy out but I still have my littles today! I did get up today, by using my Fitbit watch. I was supposed to wake me up withing the best 30 mins. Honestly, I do think it did. I didn’t have a hard getting up. That was nice. I started the fire again in the basement. I will have to talk to Hubby and see where we can hook up the saw because the logs are a little to big for the fire place.

·         Wood stove – Keep up with the wood stove. I would love to have the basement at 70* (which would be nice because the basement isn’t heated.) It will help cut down on the heating bill.

Daily Goals - Thursday, February 18, 2021

     It’s a snow again! Punxsutawney Phil was right! 6 more weeks of winter! Honestly, I don’t mind the winter. I understand why we need it. My pear trees need a winter for the pears to grow right. We need the snow to meal slowly to fill up our well reservoirs. Plus, I enjoy it! I love playing with the kids in it and remembering what it is like to be young. Then enjoying the hot cup of coffee and reading a book. Snow makes you slow down. I will take the slow day today.

Hubby and I have been talking about what will make us happy. How we can live the life we dream. Honestly, with in the next 10 years, I would love to find away for him to be home. We though need to find a way to make money doing that. We have a lot of talents and we have to figure out how to use them. I’m really thinking about doing a YouTube channel. But not sure if that is the best move. We are so busy; do we want to add something else? Will help us? Will it take to much time? I would love to blog every day, but I get busy. I don’t want to give up my daycare. I love my littles and love teaching them and being with them. SO how do we make everything work. I will be praying to God and seeing where he wants us to go from here. Also, what would people want to watch and learning about? Way would they want to watch and learn from us? What makes us special? This are some huge questions that need to be answered. I believe we can help teach people about homesteading, gardening, animals, I think hubby could help so much with how to build or make things, he is computer savvy and love cameras. There is a lot we could teach. We work great together. There will be a lot more think on this. What do you think?

Today’s Goals

·         Snow Strom – Stay on top of snow storm and our driveway.  We are expected to get 6-9 inches of snow.

·         Gardening Time – make name tags for my seeds.

·         Pets – Take care of the chickens, make sure they have water.

·         Organize the basement a little

Daily Goals - Monday, February 1, 2021

It’s a snow Monday morning. I have one daycare parent coming in today. Honestly, I think it is a little crazy because it is freezing rain. I can understand it though they are coming off cobid-19 quarantine and calling out again might not be the best choice. I’m not driving in it so being open doesn’t affect me. Hubby and I shovel a path this morning. I have to try unemployment again, I tried for 2 hours lasting and ended up giving up because the queue started to go up by 100s of people. I was starting to lose my mind. I decide to try again at 6:50am with 8,000+ ahead of me. We will see how long this takes. I’m hoping everything great approved and I can collected unemployment again because a month with no income because we had covid-19 is so hard and putting so much pressure on hubby.

Today’s Goals

·         Snow Strom – Stay on top of snow storm and our driveway. I have seen reports calling from 15-22 inches of snow.

·         Unemployment – I need to file today and out wait the time on their site.

·          Work – I work 7am-6pm today.  Only have one little today, because of the snow storm.

·         Kids Knore – Send out Valentine’s party invites, and messages about new snack policy.
