10 Goals for the Week

Well, last week I didn’t get a whole lot accomplished as far as my goals went. I went to a blog conference, which was a lot of fun, but it didn’t help me to get much crossed off my list. 🙂

Here’s how I did with last week’s goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Create reading goals for the kids. The three oldest will be doing the BookIt! Program.

2. Be off the computer from 8-9pm when the kids are getting ready for bed (working on making this a habit)

Personal Goals:

3. Go to bed by 11:30pm

4. Read my bible everyday this week

5. Exercise with the kids – I’m counting this as all the times I walked around carrying Elisabeth at the conference or walking with her in the stroller. I got quite a bit of walking in last week.

Home Management Goals:

6. Make more conditioner and body scrub

7. Clean and wipe down the bathroom and kitchen sinks

Business Goals:

8. Go over the upcoming blog conference schedule with Ruben and make a plan for how we’ll work things

9. Attend a blog conference and network with other bloggers (After almost 4 years as a blogger, I’m going to my very first conference. So exciting!)

10. Blog at least 5 times this week

So as you can see, I didn’t get a whole lot done, and I’m thankful for fresh a new week! But it does involve another blog conference, so I’m going to try to keep my goals more doable this time.

Here are this week’s goals:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Create reading goals for the kids. The three oldest will be doing the BookIt! Program.

2. Read to the kids

Personal Goals:

3. Buy a new dress – I haven’t worn a dress in over 10 years, so this should be an experience. I’m hoping to find a dress that costs less than $25 and that fits me well. I know that may be asking for a lot. 😉

4. Read my bible everyday this week

5. Exercise with the kids

Home Management Goals:

6. Make more body scrub

7. Tidy up the house for my sister’s visit this week

Business Goals:

8. Go over the upcoming blog conference schedule with Ruben and make a plan for how we’ll work things – Ruben was able to keep Elisabeth with him in the evenings during the last conference, which freed me up to attend the evening functions, network and chat with my sister.

I’m hoping we can somehow do the same thing this week…although, it’ll be harder because we aren’t staying in a nearby hotel. Our house is about 50 minutes away from the conference hotel, so we obviously don’t want to get a hotel room and would rather save money by sleeping at home. But then there’s no local place for Ruben to hang out with 5 kids while I attend the conference in the evenings. We’ll see how things work out.

9. Attend a blog conference and network with other bloggers

10. Continue working on a project in progress

What goals do you have for this week? 

P.S. For those interested, I’m going to be posting short posts of the things I gleaned from last week’s Bloggy Conference. I’m hoping to get my first update post up today.
