Goals

Last week was great.

I celebrated my birthday and turned 33-years-old. I spent lots of time with my family; though, I always do because we homeschool and stay home a lot. 🙂

I had the chance to talk at length with my mom and sister about Disney World (one of my favorite subjects), because they’ll be vacationing there soon. I’m so excited for them!

And I received an awesome new Erin Condren life planner from my sister, Sarah, that I completely love! You might remember that I use Google Calendar on an everyday basis, but this new planner fills in some gaps. I plan on using it to write down thoughts/goals that come to mind during the week, and I’m going to use it as a tool to grow a new YouTube channel. Plus, it’s cute!

As for my goals, I was able to cross them all off with the exception of spending one hour on my blog redesign. While I did work on the redesign, I didn’t spend an entire hour on it.

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Plan a fun family day & individual ‘Day Out with Dad’ and ‘Day Out with Mom’ dates for the month of February

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 140 minutes on the treadmill — I’m bumping this goal up by 10 minutes.

5. Read 20 pages of The Most Important Place on Earth (affiliate link) by Robert Wolgemuth — One of my favorite takeaways from the previous week: When it comes to whose side you’re on, your kids should never have any doubt.

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Spend 30 minutes cleaning/organizing the basement — This has become a fun activity to do with the kids over the weekend.

8. Fill one bag with items to donate

Business Goals:

9. Post DIY project/recipe for peppermint sugar scrub — I finally finished up and published this post! 🙂

10. Spend 1 hour on my blog redesign

Here are my goals for this week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Plan a fun family day

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 140 minutes on the treadmill

5. Finish reading The Most Important Place on Earth (affiliate link) by Robert Wolgemuth — I’m excited to be finishing up this book, but I do think I’ll read it over again in the future. My favorite takeaway from last week’s reading: Treat your words with care. 

6. Journal 2x — What a blessing journaling has been over the past six months or so! I can look back and see prayers answered and how the Lord has been leading us as a family. I also see ways the Lord has helped me (personally). And journaling only twice a week is much more manageable than trying to do it every day.

Home Management Goals:

7. Spend 30 minutes cleaning/organizing the basement — This has become a fun activity to do with the kids over the weekend.

8. Sew items in our home that need it

Business Goals:

9. Create custom thumbnails for two YouTube videos & update the description box of two videos

10. Spend 1 hour on my blog redesign

What are your goals for this week?

Other than dealing with a headache due to lack of caffeine today, this week is off to a good start.

I crossed off nearly all of my goals for last week, except I didn’t finish and post the peppermint sugar scrub recipe. That’s okay, though. I’ve finally given myself a REAL deadline, so you’ll see it up here on the blog by Friday. 🙂

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7. Spend 25 minutes cleaning/organizing the basement — This has become a fun activity to do with the kids over the weekend.

8. Create a cleaning schedule — On my Google Calendar, I scheduled the cleaning tasks that I want to remember to get done every two weeks or every month.

Business Goals:

9. Post DIY project/recipe for peppermint sugar scrub — I have a deadline for this post now, so you’ll be seeing it soon.

10. Spend 1 hour on my blog redesign — It was fun to dig in and get started on a new design, but I can see that it’s going to take forever to get it finished. Or not. If I keep it on my goals list each week, it should be ready for you to see sometime in the spring. 😉

What are your goals for this week?

Well, I managed to cross off all of my goals but my business goals.

I kept putting off finishing up the peppermint sugar scrub post; though, I did work a bit on the images. And I scheduled time to work on my new blog design, but then I didn’t actually work on it.

Oh well! It’s a new week, right? 😉

5. Read 20 pages of The Most Important Place on Earth (affiliate link) by Robert Wolgemuth — I’m taking away so many good ideas to implement in our family from this book. However, I was sad to find out that the author’s wife, who is mentioned regularly in the book, recently went to Heaven. (I jumped on Google one afternoon because I wanted to know more about this incredibly smart mama.) By all accounts, she was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother who lived life well and to the glory of God!

What are your goals for this week?

I knocked out nearly all of my goals last week.

The only one I didn’t complete was my goal to post the recipe for peppermint sugar scrub. I did make a bit of progress, but I’m still only around 40% done. I’m definitely planning on finishing up that post this week! 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Plan a fun family day & individual “Day Out with Dad” dates for the kids — We decided to start scheduling these special dates again now that the holidays are over.

Personal Goals:

3. Do resistance band exercises 4x

4. Walk a total of 130 minutes on the treadmill — I’m slightly increasing my goal and will also be paying more attention to what I’m eating. Thankfully, the cookies, candies, and holiday goodies have all been eaten!
