Intentions for the Week:

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

 

Happy Monday!

What a weekend!  I had the Napa Makes craft fair, spent the night at my friend Helen Jane’s house and went to an art class on Sunday. After all of these activities in the past few weeks, I have a lot of catching up to do. This week is the last week of school for Cooper. Most of the days are half days so it’s a little precarious to get all my work done before school ends. Wish me luck!  Let’s start the week with a TO DO LIST. Here are my Intentions for the Week!
