5 Goals for the Week

This week I decided to post my Top 5 "To-Do's". I normally break my week up into Top 3's for each day, but it doesn't always work out where I get all 3 done each day, so instead I decided to do a top 5 for the week and hopefully that will be a little easier to accomplish. So here are my Top 5 for this week.

1. Read a Chapter a Day

Last month I was ecstatic when I was chosen to be on Crystal Paine's Launch Team for her new book. I absolutely LOVE her website, MoneySavingMom.com, and was so excited to hear that she was coming out with a new book, Money Making Mom. So, I received the link to the book and started reading...and then life happened. One of those life lessons that I learned is that I read books better when I have the hard copy in my hot little hands. We had the opportunity to get a hard copy, but by the time I had my realization I had missed the window. But, have no fear...I just went and pre-ordered my copy and received it TODAY! I am so excited to start reading it live and to highlight and write in the margins! And I'm taking you along with me. I am going to read a chapter a day and then recap what I've learned from it on here the next day. Did you pre-order your copy? Want to order it NOW? Get it and start reading with me!!

2. Make Over You Mornings

Speaking of the wonderful Money Saving Mom, Crystal Paine, she has this fabulous 14-day course that she created to help you Make Over Your Mornings. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago and started to go through it, so when The Intentional Mom decided that she was going to start it again and blog through it I decided to start over with her. So starting yesterday I started it over. I will be recapping yesterday, today, and tomorrow on the blog tomorrow. If you'd like to join me you can hop on over to Crystal's site and purchase the course, you can also preview the first day before you buy if you scroll all the way to the bottom of her site. Come join me and Make Over Your Mornings!

3. Blog 4 out of 7 days

Starting November 1st, running Sunday to Saturday I am going to attempt to blog 4 out of 7 days. I have tried before to give myself a goal, but in the past I have tried every day and with 3 kids, a dog, a husband, and countless extra-curricular activities it just wasn't realistic. So, 4 days it is. 2 down, at least 2 to go...

4. Menu Plan

Uh! I hate thinking about dinner. I hate thinking about the fact that my children hate everything that I make unless it is fried. I hate that there is not a food that all of them like and don't complain about. But, eating out when you have a fridge and freezer full of food just can't be an option. Because of that, I have decided that I need to go ahead and plan out our meals for the week so that we are not trying to find something to eat (when everything is frozen) at the last minute when everyone is starving.

5. Clean Out Kids Summer Clothes

Even though it is in the 70's in Michigan today and it sounds like it will be for most of the week I am still going to go ahead and pack away my kids summer clothes. Because we live in Michigan many months we have closets that are over flowing with clothing for both summer and winter months. It drives me insane!! For that reason, the summer clothing is getting packed away this week and the will not be seen again till next year. Maybe then all of the closets will not be overflowing with clothing and my children will actually be able to find something to wear in the morning (probably not, but a mom can hope).

Do you do a Top 5 for the upcoming week? Or maybe you do what I use to do and write a Top 3 list for each day. I would love to know what you do and how you accomplish your lists.
