Goals: Tell Your Time

In February, I wrote a review of Tell Your Time by Amy Lynn Andrews. There is one thing that I failed to mention... the part in the ebook that I really don't like:

I actually have to DO something.

Nobody else can make the changes for me. Hmmmmm....not sure I like that.

On Sunday my husband went for a run up on trail not far from our house. Instead of sitting around the house, I decided the kids and I needed to go. We all ended up running for a bit and had a fabulous outing. I didn't feel like going, but I knew that we should go.


My 14 year old daughter.

My 11 year old son.


The VIEWS!!!
I just re-read part of the book while writing this post. Amy talks in her ebook about the roles you have in your life. One major role in my life is being a Mom. When I choose to do fun activities with my kids, we all act a little differently. We are in "play" mode instead of "I'm the parent, you're the child mode." Not sure if that make sense, but our relationship changes a bit when we're outdoors having fun.

My kids are a huge priority for me, but my actions don't always show that.

Again, I'd recommend buying her book AND re-reading it every month. Something I need to add to my calendar for sure!

  1. Thanks for the post about this book. I read your review of it and it sounds interesting. I also like the concept of envelopes of time. Managing my time has been the hardest thing for me since I became a homemaker. How much is "acceptable" for chores? How many times do I have to read the llama book? Glad I ran across you through WFMW!

  2. When I saw Bitterroot - I wondered if you were from MT.

    You're in the pretty part of MT - I grew up in the eastern part of the state. Has a lot of character, but I wouldn't call it prettty. Maybe rustic beauty?

    Thanks for posting.
