Homemaker's Haven

• She looketh well to the ways of her household

Welcome to this week's Homemaker's Haven post, hosted by Stephanie at A High and Noble Calling.

Last week we discussed the importance of working to make our homes a haven from the world for our families, using the 4 P's--Prayer, Prioritize, Plan, and Progress.

Even though I knew it was time a new installment, this week's post is a little bit late because of another P--Procrastination. And the main reason I procrastinated--lack of Progress toward working my Plan and keeping my Priorities! (and probably not enough Prayer, either!)

As I look back over my post from last week, I realized that there were several things that I wrote about that I didn't actually do--even though I know from experience that it works better for me that way.

• There were several days that I didn't get up and get dressed or start my morning routine right away. When I don't, it messes up my whole day--everything runs late, and I just don't get as much done.
• While I set myself a couple of goals for the week and wrote about them in the post, I didn't write them down on my list or in a planner that I actually looked at daily--as a result, my priorities did get a bit skewed.

This week's goals are pretty much the same as last week's, although slightly re-worked:

1. Prayer IS my priority
2. Tweak my morning routine, and actually DO it
3. Write things DOWN-whether a grocery list, to-do list, or whatever-list

What are you doing this week to make your home a haven?

Until next time...
