Monthly Life Goals July 2014

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

June Goals:

• 30 Day Challenge: Kids/Family Activities -- Success!  I'm calling this one a success.  We did a ton of activities and went a ton of places.  Below are a few examples:
  • Pool days (multiple)
  • Playdates at the park, also playground visits
  • Great America visits
  • SJ Museum of Art
  • Tech Museum
  • Deer Hollow Farm
  • 30 Day Challenge: Read every day -- Success!  Some days it was only a few minutes, but some days it was an hour.  I still read each day.
  • Visit 6 local parks -- Fail... but we came close.  We ended up visiting 3 parks: Rengstorff, Cuesta, Rancho San Antonio
  • Knock off 10 items from our summer bucket list -- Success!  We got our bucket list off to a good start!
  • Have a date night with J -- Fail! Just didn't happen.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Clean out/update Neverending TBR Board -- Success!  I cleaned out the board a bit and edited my tags.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Try 5 new crafting techniques/sketches/color inspirations -- Success! I completed a ton of cards this month.

• 30 Day Challenge: Meal plan entire month -- I hope to have the entire month of July's meals planned from the beginning.
• 30 Day Challenge: Daily picture book -- We're behind on out 100 picture book challenge for 2014.  Hopefully this month will get us back on track.
• Clean out twins' clothes -- We haven't done a full clean out in two years.  This will be the perfect month to get rid of the too small.  And we will know what to send back to Indiana and what needs to be bought for fall and next summer.
• Update Paprika with all routine recipes -- I love using Paprika for recording my recipes, making meal plans, and creating a grocery list.  Unfortunately, I don't have any of my tried and true recipes included.  I need to get this app updated.
• Finish two in progress television series -- I feel like I'm in the middle of way too many series, especially series that are no longer on the air.  I want to make a view list and cross off two of those in progress series.
• Pinterest Challenge: Complete 5 techniques, sketches, challenges -- Same as last month's challenge.  It went so well, I thought I would do it again.
• Pinterest Challenge: Get rid of 2 retired DSP boards -- I have completely reorganized my boards pulling out any example cards featuring retired DSP.  I want to get rid of at least two of those boards this month.
