Thoughts of the day

This is what is on my mind:
Intentional Parenting-  Not just letting each day slip by, and giving in to whatever makes our kids happy, but intentionally parenting our children.  Training them to be well disciplined.  This is a new experience for me, and let me tell you, it is H.A.R.D!  Especially after so many years of not doing this. 

Home School-I don't know if this is right for our family or not.  But it's something My husband and I are praying deeply about.  It would mean a total lifestyle change, but may be worth it for our children.  Especially my daughter.  I went to public school, I don't see it as a terrible thing.  But I think a home school environment would be less distracting and give me more time with my children.  I feel like 18 years having them home is just too short, I don't want to miss more than I have to.  There are so many pros and cons to this.  A big struggle right now is that I think my son would benefit greatly from being in a public school, where my daughter would do better at home. 

Decluttering- I spent about 30 minutes in the kitchen yesterday filling paper grocery sacks with things I don't use, or don't want to use anymore.  Today I took an hour to have a paper shredding party with the little prince.  My husband does not have the gift of organization, so I tried to organize his stuff the best I could.  I think his night stand looks MUCH better, I hope he appreciates what I've done.  & I hope I didn't do too much, too quickly.

Food-  I'm thinking of what to have for lunch, and what to make for dinner.  Wednesday is our busy day.  Thankfully I made a Turkey earlier this week, and the whole family likes it!  I'll have some for lunch, set some aside for dinner, then put the rest of it in bags to freeze and use later. 
Anyone have a favorite turkey recipe?  I have another frozen turkey in the basement freezer.
