Welcome to Mama’s Mission of the Month! My hope is that this will help me {and you} accomplish the goals we have set for the month! So, if you are a mom and you’re ready to start getting things done, feel free to join in! Check out the intro post for all the details!
Update: Life is hectic these days. But I’m sure I’m no different than most moms! Honestly, I feel like I’m running a taxi service. I feel like I’m constantly driving, dropping off, and picking up my kids from their various activities. From flag football practice to volleyball practice…from guitar lessons to drum lessons. In spite of all the “action,” I was still able to make good headway on my goals for last month and got quite a bit marked off! Check it out:

5. Have 3 family movie nights. We used Vidangel to filter and watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Angry Birds Movie. I LOVE that we can filter out any unwanted content!!

I even successfully made eggs that didn’t stick. (TRUTH MOMENT: The first time they stuck, but the second time was successful!) I’m so excited, that I purchased a big 12 inch cast iron skillet!
