Five On Friday: October Goals

Another great link-up to help get me back in the swing of things! Here are my 5 October Goals:


1. 31 Days of Living Well & Spending ZERO! 
Aaron and I have a pretty good budget going, but I'm feeling a little more motivated recently to do something crazy that forces some better discipline on my part. I like that this whole experience is about more than just not spending, but organizing, purging, resting, etc. We've allotted money towards the things we have to do, like normal groceries (our current routine is a good one), diapers/wipes/formula, one date night and some family commitments we've already made for the month. Other than that, the financial goal is to save up all of this month's "play" money.

2. Do a "Day in the Life" post. 
I've already got this one kind of started, but I really want to link-up with this blogger for her series. Looking back on different seasons of our life, routines Canon was in, etc is the way I most utilize my blog, so I don't want to get too far out without documenting our current life! 

3. Finish For the Love by Jen Hatmaker and Boys on the Boat by Daniel James Brown.  

4. Less Technology in the evenings. 
This one is probably obvious, but I really dis-like the amount of time I spend mindlessly scrolling through social media after the boys go to bed. It's not a problem if I am intentionally doing something, but being on my phone without a purpose isn't good. I'd like to replace this time with cleaning, prepping for the next day and reading. 

5. Host a couple or family for a meal. 
I love this. So many good things that happen when we do this and I want it to happen more frequently! 


So there's my Friday on Five: October goals! I'm excited!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
