Monthly Life Goals June 2014

Before I get to this month’s goals, let’s check in on May’s goals and my progress.

May Goals (4/7):

  • 30 Day Challenge: New Music – Failed!  I completely forgot about this goal.  Oops!
  • 30 Day Challenge: Documentary a Day – Success! I only have 26 documentaries of this list, but I'm going to call it a success.  We ended up watching a ton of interesting documentaries throughout the month.  I think my favorite was Tattoo Nation; a fascinating look at the history of tattooing.  Plus, we finally finished Jazz...
    1. NOVA: Why Ships Sink
    2. Scratch
    3. Bermuda Triangle Exposed
    4. Secrets of the Viking Sword
    5. World's Most Dangerous Drug
    6. Tattoo Nation
    7. NOVA: Secrets of the Sun
    8. NOVA: Mystery of Easter Island
    9. Madness in the White City
    10. American the Beautiful
    11. 2 Episodes of Jazz
    12. 6 Episodes of Out of Egypt
    13. 8 Episodes of Cosmos
  • Complete a Day in the Life post – Failed.  I never seem to remember this until late in the day.
  • Schedule a craft class – Success!  I actually scheduled three classes (to accommodate different times) and three open house crafting sessions.
  • Take a day trip somewhere –  Success!  Another mom friend and I traveled up to Oakland to go to the zoo.  I consider this as a day trip as it takes about 45 minutes to get there and we stayed almost all day.
  • Go on a preplanned picnic – Failed. We were going to do a picnic last Friday, but Arthur decided that he just wasn't going to nap and messed with the entire day.  Oh well.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Document/plan some baby activities – Success!  I have a list of some activities for us to try.  And some activities for the co-op playdates and socials.

June Goals:

  • 30 Day Challenge: Kids/Family Activities -- Each day I hope to have some small (or big) activity planned.  In fact, we even have a summer bucket list notebook to help us.
  • 30 Day Challenge: Read every day -- This goal applies to myself and also to all three boys.  Obviously the twins can read by themselves, but we also plan on reading together before bed.
  • Visit 6 local parks -- It's time to be outside...
  • Knock off 10 items from our summer bucket list -- Some of our items are huge (beach day) and some are small (library visit).
  • Have a date night with J -- With the start of the co-op, I'm hoping we can schedule a date night sometime this month.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Clean out/update Neverending TBR Board -- It needs it.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Try 5 new crafting techniques/sketches/color inspirations -- Hopefully I can incorporate some great new SU products.
