Year-To-Date Review, August 2009

Well, we’re not quite through half a year of Saturdays O’ Fun. But we thought it might be well worth the time to review our blog and the reasons behind it. I went back to the very beginning and looked through all our postings to date. Wow! We’ve sure had fun! And the fun’s not done. We’ve still got so much more to do and see and share with all 6 of you reading our blog! (Oops! 7…I forgot to count my mom!)

We started this blog as a motivator to make the most out of the last day of the week. We wanted to create memories and to do things “out of the ordinary”. At the end of a year, we didn’t want to look back and wonder what we’d done with our time. Not because we are bored and have nothing to do. Oh no! Far from it! In fact, that’s probably the main reason for the 52 fun Saturdays challenge. If we don’t take time for ourselves at least once a week, we’d find ourselves over scheduled with work, our church callings, our extended family commitments, cleaning our house, doing laundry…pretty much the same things which fill up any women’s time.

And while this blog is based on “fun” please don’t equate our activities to “frivolous”. To us, our Saturdays are precious, nigh on sacred, and really the only day we have to do our own thing. We don't want to waste even a single one! So, with all that said, off we go to do more fun things. Surprisingly, we’ve got more activities on the list than we actually have Saturdays left in the year!
