2013 Goals Update

 

I didn't update the progress on my 2013 goals at the end of February because I was too busy enjoying my new baby girl, but I'm back with an update for the end of March.

Personal Goals

Read 41 books. I will track my progress on my Pinterest board and will share some reviews here on the blog. {I have read eight books so far this year and am working on my ninth book, "Lead Your Family Like Jesus."}

Begin exercising again - after the baby arrives! {I haven't started yet, but I should be ready for exercise soon. I'm itching to get back on the treadmill!}

Edit the LLMA newsletter. This goes out 3-4 times per year. {The Winter edition went out in February.}

Create monthly and weekly goals regularly. I really enjoyed doing this during 2012. For 2013, I purchased the Time Keeper planner and it has space for me to keep my goals right in it. {I've been doing well creating my goals.}

Continue crocheting. I am planning to work on some scarves and other small projects throughout 2013. I even have an idea for our daughter's first Christmas already! {I've been working on a scarf recently.}
Home Management GoalsMaintain the monthly budget using my Excel spreadsheets. {I have kept up faithfully with this.}

Keep receipts organized and update tax and medical expense spreadsheet smonthly. {Our receipts are organized, but I haven't been updating the spreadsheets regularly.}

Plan our dinner menu on a monthly basis. This is such a lifesaver for me - I don't know what I would do without it! {I have done well with this.}

Deep clean our home during the summer.
