I make a lot of goals for myself. I like to have a lot of things to work towards and I take my goals very seriously. I know I get teased about having so many goals for each year. But I like to be specific. You can say “be a better mom” as a goal but what does that mean? In what ways do I want to be better? Again, these posts are for myself so no pressure to read it 🙂
They are in random order…here are my goals for this year:
- Really focus in on making Jesus my #1 priority each and every day. For my family, for myself…across the board in all areas of life.
- Implement family bible time as well as a bible curriculum for Kye.
- Wake up at 6 ish each morning. Get ready for the day (look my best for my husband!) and have private time to study my bible.
- Update our will as well as our life insurance. Also price compare for our insurances to make sure we have the lowest rates/best coverage.
- Have at least 300 blog posts this year.
- Engage on the blog Facebook Page daily.
- Aim for a bedtime of 10:30 for myself and spend 10-15 min in bed reading before falling asleep.
- Really focus on instilling first time obedience with the kids.
- Make the BEST choice for Kye as well as our family with where we will send him for 1st grade.
- Become more involved with our church family, especially fostering friendships for our children.
- Limit the use of any screen time during family time for Zach and I (texting included!)
- Continue on the Advocare “nursing plan” and do the full 24 Day Challenge once I wean Tess. Get in those goal jeans!!! Stay committed!
