Let's just start...

I want to be more intentional.

(On a side note, I've never done the one word for a year thing.  I often think it should be "discipline" for me because I lack so much of it.  But it just hit me.  Maybe this year should be intentional.  But that is neither here nor there for this post.)

Intentional.

Intentional in how I eat.

Intentional in how I spend my time.

Intentional in how I spend my money.

Intentional in how I Shepard my children.  I don't know if we'll public school. or home school. or combination.  I'm going to look into preschools in the area for the Fall; I am also going to see how E and I do with some intentional schooling opportunities. 

So, here's the plan:
- try ABC Jesus Curriculum
- research/use Easy Peasey Homeschool
- go to story time
- go to Marbles
- cook together
- include Jonathan
- make my own Kindergarten Toolkit
- use my Pinterest board
- research preschools in the area
- Soccer Tots, Swim Lessons & Kindermusic

But, I'm going to have start slow.  As my husband says... you'll burn out if you do too much at once.
