So I haven't been much into the Top 2 Tuesday recently because well going back to work and trying to be a good mom and wife all at the same time is proving to be more difficult than I had imagined and I just haven't had the time or I've not had anything to contribute that is worth a T2T post. BUT this one I can do because well there are loooots of things I hope to accomplish by the end of the year so this is a no brainer plus some!
Top 2 Things you want to accomplish by the end of the year:
1. PAY OFF SOME BILLS!!! $$$$$$
This is a BIG one! I have a car that I am way upside down on and need to try and get in control so I can get into something a little more kid friendly for Lydia and her future siblings. So we have the car, we have the new washer and dryer we got a while back (they were a neccessity but an expensive necessity) and we have Gobs and Gobs of medical bills from having our beautiful Lydia bug, completely worth it but definitely hope to get most of the doctor's (not hospital) bills paid off by the end of the year.
2. Jump into God's word!!!
I have started my own private Bible Study, I feel like the one thing my Catholic church is lacking in is the small groups/mommy groups/ bible study front soooooo I'm doing one on my own. I feel as though I owe God a whole heck of a lot more than I've been giving him in the last few years. Becoming a mom has proven this to me, he has blessed me with the greatest gift I could have ever imagined in becoming a mommy to my Lydia and I owe it to him to LISTEN. That seems to be the theme of my life right now "Shut up and Listen" What a better place to listen for what God is saying then in his own word! So I'm cracking open that Bible and doing my own little Bible Study (the one I purchased at Women of Faith this year) I will keep you updated on how it is going and definitely share any inspiration I find on my journey.
Honorable Mentions:
Keep working out 2 times a week at least!
Cook one new meal a week.

a great Catholic Mama reflection/study is "Domestic Church Room by Room"

we did it as a group last year, but it would be great as a private one as well
Also - this daily (month long) reflection on different aspects of the SAcred Heart of JEsus - it is VERY well done, includes scripture, reflection and prayer for everyday, i loved it!
