March Goals {and a sneak peek at a giveaway!}

Below you will find my goals for the month of March. Many of these goals are based on my yearly goals for 2012. By breaking my year-long goals into monthly goals, and then breaking them down even further into weekly goals, I have found that I am much more likely to accomplish them!

Following this process has made a huge difference in my productivity this year. I am so excited to see how much I can accomplishment throughout the rest of 2012! In order to make that happen, here's what I am focusing on March:

Personal Goals

• Read four books. (I'm deviating from my plan and adding in an extra book!)
1. "Kisses from Katie" by Katie Davis - I just started this book and can hardly put it down!
2. "Goals! - How to Get Everything You Want -- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible" by Brian Tracy
3. "Please Stop Laughing at Me" by Jodee Blanco - This woman recently spoke at our local publc school (where I substitute teach often).
4. "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Adoption" by Christine Adamec - This gives you a hint as to our "upcoming change"!
• Make homemade gluten free pita bread (my Do-It-Yourself project).
• Exercise three times per week for 30 minutes each time.
• Listen to Money Saving Mom's Budget audiobook (as part of a blogger review program).
• Filing cabinet organization:
1. Bank paperwork.
2. Remaining loan paperwork.
3. Any extra folders that I may have missed (and there will be some shredding, too!).
• Declutter and organize our bathroom closet. This project will be mainly focused on our health and beauty stockpile.
• Vacation Bible School prep: volunteer recruitment is the current focus.

Blog Goals

• Post two recipes:
1. Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets.
2. Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches.
• Post a reading update as I finish each of my four books.
• Post an update on my DIY project.
• Purex Insiders: Review Triple Action liquid detergent, Ultra Packs detergent, and Purex Crystals softener. This will include a giveaway, too!
