December 2017 Goals & Ultimate Christmas Bundle
December has to be one of the busiest months of the year for me. I’m always busy and I can’t always get everything done. But I do know that this year there is a way to save some money and time with the Ultimate Christmas Bundle!
Yup this is a huge bundle 60 printables to help with Christmas and some winter activities as well. You are going to find loads of different activities!
Plus this is a limited time Bundle! You only have until December 11th to get your copy! You don’t want to miss out on all these activities.
As always my goals are divided up into 3 areas: blog, home and personal. Why have three areas? So that I know what goal belongs to what. And it helps me keep track how I’m doing better.
December 2017 Blog Goals
November is took time off from everything for a full week and it was wonderful. I know that it may not seem like much but I don’t take much time off. I will also be taking some time off in December to enjoy the holidays. So my goals this month will be less. I’m also pushing back big projects to just enjoy the season and my new home.
You can keep an eye out for them and previews of them on Instagram.
- Post more crafts on the blog.
- Update web site for https and design changes.
- Plan for the big winter release: Romping & Roaring Second Grade Sight Word Packs & Interactive Number Books
- Consider posting only 3 or 4 days a week – and get ahead on my posting by at least 4 days.
- Don’t buy any new supplies until 2018!
- Finish 3 or 4 smaller selling products for the month – There will be up on Teachers Pay Teacher as I make them.
- Create a total project list of all started projects with projected release dates. Schedule steps for pictures and when we will use them.

December 2017 Family Goals
November had us with 5 days without internet and it was really fun. We interacted more as a family than we had in a while. I think we will be doing more internet free days. We also did more outside activities as well. We are enjoying our new home but still have loads of unpacking to do. This is also the first time we don’t have the Christmas Tree up before December. I can’t wait to get it up and spend time doing Christmas activities.

December 2017 Personal Goals
November was a hard month personally but I plan on making December a much better time. I am back to trying to take care of me first and that changes everything. I will enjoy my holidays and relax. I’m also going to try and make the holidays as relax and non-rushed as I can.
- Daily Fitness – walking 6 days at least week – Even with all the packing fitness still needs to happen.
