February Progress and March PowerSheets Goals

“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
– William Wordsworth, Daffodils

Hello, March! This is the month we’ve been looking forward to—the month we get to start our seeds, celebrate 15 years of marriage, and see the earth come alive once more! The camellias are blooming and we had our first daffodil this week—spring is coming!

A quick look back at my February goals!

February Monthly Goals:
— Love for Him – a focusing on loving others for the Lord and reflecting His love in several upcoming birthdays (Sarah is turning 5!) and Valentine’s Day (one of my favorite holidays with the kids!) / We really enjoyed these celebrations in February!
— Get a 15-year anniversary gift for Ari. / Done! And I am super excited about what I chose for him (and that he doesn’t read this blog, so I can tell you!): crystal Shabbat candlesticks. They are super simple and lovely—something we can pass onto our kiddos. We also decided to write each other 15-year anniversary letters and I’m going to have them professionally lettered afterward to hang in our home. For family gifts, which really only happen on these big milestones, we asked our parents to each get us a mezuzah for our home. This will be so special, as well, and we can pass them to our kiddos, too!
— Write my remaining 2021 lists: scriptures and a family reading list / Yes! I am SO grateful I spent an hour making the scriptures list a couple of days ago. My next step is to study them this month! And I ended up making a Pinterest board of books we’ve read and books we’ll read for the reading list. The visual aspect of doing it on Pinterest made it extra fun.
— Make playlists for each kiddo – Striking this through because I already did it! The moment I finished my Tending List, I did my little not-so-secret move with goals — I went ahead and did something about them! It felt so good to get the momentum going instead of waiting for some other magical day. And the kids LOVE them. We had the best dance parties this weekend and they felt so loved!
— Get outside – make friends with winter

February Weekly Goals:
—Shabbat – I am loving my Val Marie Prayer Journal (that I decided to use to pray over our team and work this year!), my Write the Word journal, favorite Bible, and I just got this Vine’s dictionary.
— Homeschool with love – I am still loving every minute of this!
— Read Life Together with Ari. – continuing this in March
— Continue reading Glory Girl with Grace – continuing this in March and we are loving it! 🎉

February Daily Goals:
— Bible reading
— Close my rings (Apple watch fitness rings!) – progress!
— Write the Word – continuing through Psalm 119. Probably my favorite thing on this list!
— Neck exercises – this continues!
