November 2012: We are gonna make it!

Goodbye birthday month! Hello month of gratitude!

I will include some links to things we did to cut down on all the typing. My fingers are freezing from being online for the last 3 hours! It is all good ’cause I am prepping my new blog series {Spice Up Your Homeschool}. Trying to schedule the next month or more with one post a week. That will free me up for guest posting, conference sponsorship, and review work not to mention Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Luckily my Personal Taxation class does NOT have any final and I do all the work at home. I am trying to make sure I do not get too many bloggy irons in the fire. We are a homeschool family that is very eclectic and flexible. Kids help take pics, pose items for pics, read over blog posts, and generate ideas. We have a class Saturday about video basics from our  local metroparks. So very exciting and it’s free!

I a working on social media and somedays it just kicks my butt. The time sync just kills me, but I am trying to use Buffer to my advantage. November I need to implement Social Bro to tweet my old posts once I come up with create tweets! Growing in leaps and bounds but sometimes hard to do and not have laundry piling up, lol.

Kids are starting to take more responsibility (vacuum room, put clothes away, fold towels, start load of laundry,etc) for things that they can do to help the house run more smoothly. I want them to realize this is not a fly by night kinda thing. This “blogging” is our new way of life and with hubby starting up a website soon we really have got to get things together.

Goals: Focus on Thanksgiving and Christmas Prep

Get house ready to put up Christmas tree

Pull-out outgrown clothes, bag and donate!

Find ways to show Jesus to others.

Continue to tweak our schedule to fit it all in:)
