This week we are working on goal setting. It is about making a goal and reaching it. Don’t become a teenager that has no aspirations to do things. If your goal is to be a stay at home mom and not attend college, then work on some skills now while you are young. Take these courses and learn how to take care of a house completely on your own. Learn to be the best organizer of stuff. My daughter has chosen to not go to college and has decided to work odd and end jobs before she gets married and she learned how to organize her whole life. What she is doing now is helping others, through word of mouth, to organize their homes. People have TOO MUCH STUFF! She goes into their home and helps them sort through the years and years of accumulation and gets paid for it! She enjoys doing that and she is rewarded for her labor.
It starts now while you are young. Look to improve things in your home. Does your mom have lots of pictures that are just sitting in a box in the closet? Make a photo collage with them. Is her dining room table empty? Look up some ideas of how you can decorate it inexpensively. Ask her first and show her different ideas. Find out what her likes and dislikes are and take on the role of “decorator.”
This is your week to do some DIY crafts. If none of these ideas work for you, do a Pinterest search and I am sure that you can have a bunch of ideas that will work. You can also get books from your local library.
