Bonus 1/21/8 - journal about those changes and make several goals to get you to the homekeeper you want to be (100 points). plus 50pts for today's challenge

I'm doing pretty good with the housekeeping part of things, and now I'd like to move into a homekeeper mentality. The house is in a more livable and relaxing/inviting state, and now I'd like to move into relaxing and inviting.
Goals: 1. Spend more time teaching my children to work with me in keeping the house nice, so they'll learn to do the things it takes, and also so they'll learn to be a part of the family and that every part contributes b/c we're in this family together.
2. Open my home to more guests/friends so that relationships will develop and grow btn my children and their friends, my husband and his friends, and myself and my friends.
3. Spend more time talking with God specifically about my home, my ministry here, my relationships here.
4. Learn to do more crafts (sewing, knitting, crochet, etc) to beautify my home and add more of my own touches to it. With so much of what we have here as hand-me-downs (nice, but not necessarily my "style"), I'd like to incorporate more of who "we" are into our home.
