Monthly Life Goals August 2014

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

  • 30 Day Challenge: Meal plan entire month – So close, I'm going to call this one a success.  I had everything planned through when the boys left.  The last week of the month, I had to redo everything.  But that's still 3/4 of the month planned at the beginning.
  • 30 Day Challenge: Daily picture book – Success!  We read at least a book a day.  And we managed to add 30 new books to our 1001 Books list.
  • Clean out twins’ clothes – Success!  Right before they left, we cleaned out the closet filling one garbage bag with too small clothing.  Anything right on the edge went back with them.  I also included some more pants and shirts for Back to School wear.
  • Update Paprika with all routine recipes – Fail.  Good intentions, I just never got there.
  • Finish two in progress television series – Success!  I finally caught up with S1 of Reign and S3 of Once Upon a Time.  There are many other in progress shows on the server, but they will have to wait.  
  • Pinterest Challenge: Complete 5 techniques, sketches, challenges – Success!  I completed cards for five different online challenges.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Get rid of 2 retired DSP boards – Fail. I didn't use any of my retired DSP this month.  Good intentions, but it never happened...
  • 30 Day Challenge: Daily picture book -- It went so well last month that I thought we should try again!
  • 30 Day Challenge: Daily walk -- I tried this a few months back and failed.  I really want to get back on board this month.
  • Prep TBR piles for rest of year -- I started this last month, but I want to get all my piles prepped, grouped, and readied on the blog.
  • Clean out my closet and random office bin -- The closet isn't in a bad shape, but it needs another clean out.  And the random office bin is just an absolute mess.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Create and weed through a board for Arthur's 1st Birthday Party -- I've just pinned a ton of crap onto his Space Party board, but now I need to take a critical look at everything. What do I want to make/do/buy/keep?
  • Pinterest Challenge: Try 5 new recipes -- The twins are gone. That means that I can experiment with new recipes again.  I've got an entire Pinterest board to chose from.
