Monthly Life Goals June 2016

Let’s check in on May’s goals and my progress.

  • Create a summer bucket list — Success! I made the list and we've started choosing our activities.
  • Plan Mom and Great Aunt Alys’s trip to SF —Fail. Didn't get around to this one...
  • Try three new recipes — Success! I made Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad (very yummy), Pork Lettuce Wraps (pretty good), and Spinach and Artichoke Melts (messy, but yum!).
  • Update all my calendars for May, June, and July —Success I did a large update last week.
  • Start Arthur’s transition out of the crib and to a twin mattress —Fail. Just didn't get around to it.
  • Send out all May cards, prep June and July cards —50% success. Finished May's cards. Pulled out cards for June and July. Haven't addressed and written in June and July's cards.
  • Pull, tag, and deliver garage sale items — Success! I ended up only making about $40, but we got rid of a ton of random clothes. Anything that didn't sell was donated to local charities.
  • Read at least 3000 pages —Fail. Although I think 2700 pages is perfectly respectable...
  • Participate in Bout of Books 16 — Success! I completed all my goals. The end result: I read 5 books totaling 1334 pages.
  • Prep my TBR for June and July —50% success. I prepped June's TBR, but failed at moving forward.

June's Goals -- After May's crazy list of goals, I'm scaling back just a bit for June:

  • Plan Mom and Great Aunt Alys’s trip to SF — Carry over goal...
  • Start Arthur’s transition out of the crib and to a twin mattress -- Carry over goal...
  • Send out June cards and prep July cards -- I guess a continuation of last month's goal.
  • Prep my TBR for July and August -- Another continuation.
  • Read 2500 pages --With the twins here and an increase in activities, I'm lowering my page goal just a bit.
  • Have 4 board game nights with the twins -- We're aiming for once a week.
  • Have 12 movie nights with the twins, exposing them to at least 6 new-to-them movies -- Our goal is three times a week...
