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 ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
