Moving Forward & August 2018 Goals

I did not announce it much bet we just spent the last 5 weeks traveling. It has been an amazing 5 weeks traveling across the United States. And one we will remember for a long time. We took the time to be a family and have time.

We also limited out computer and internet time and it worked out great. We had a great time and loved every minute of our trip. It has ups and downs with all trips but we worked them all out. We all enjoyed having time off from normal everyday life.

We saw friends, visited history and had a great time. I’ve been updating my Instagram for a few of the places we visited.

Now I’m back and ready to get moving!

As always my goals are divided up into three areas: blog, family and personal. I need all three because each is important to who I am.

August 2018 Blog Goals

I’ve been working hard on the design changes this summer and I hope to have some of them out soon. It has been fun to work on these and see the new design as it comes together. One thing I learned was that I got more done with this break than if I had not taken it. I’ll be doing more business hours from now on.

I have some new bundles coming out soon. I can’t wait for you to see what I’ve been planning and working on. I can’t wait for you to see them.

Set business hours and stick to them
Post more crafts on the blog.
Update web site for https and design changes. I got a few one up already have you seen them?
Consider posting only 3 or 4 days a week – and get ahead on my posting by at least 4 days.

August 2018 Family Goals

We are in a re-organization of the house. We made some changes and things need to be moved around. I hope to get some of this done in the next little while. Plus clean up the yard from it not getting all the love and attention it needs. I also learned that I need to take more time for my girls. They need it and they are what is important.

Organize the house better
Limit computer time for everyone – including me!
Read to my girls every day.
Take time to just be with my girls
Do a Family Movie or game night twice a month
Fill out TO DO LIST daily
Make a weekly menu!
Make daily and weekly chore charts for my girls
Fill out and Check off: Daily, Weekly & Monthly Cleaning Cart

August 2018 Personal Goals

I took a lot of personal time in July and feel so much better for it. You need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Remember that.

Re-watch my Online parenting class this month! Put it on my to-do list!
Plan 2 personal activities out of the house
Limit all sugary drinks and snacks
Daily Fitness – walking 6 days at least week – Even with all the packing fitness still needs to happen.
Make 10,000 steps EVERY day – weekends too. Keep track using Fitbit Charge HR Wireless Activity Wristband.
Schedule my tasks that need to be done for: blog, personal and family.
Read/Listen to 5 books for the whole month – Pick good books not random books with no meaning
