My Goals: November 2012

Hello November!

I was so ready to change the calendar to November. I'm not sure why, but I'm ready for a new month and new possibilities.

I did a pretty good job crossing items off my October goal list, but now we're on to a new month with new goals and some continuation from last month.

-Continue working on Christmas pillow cases; I got all of the squares cut, and now I need to start piecing them together.

-Finalize our Thanksgiving plans

-Print and mail out Christmas party invites

-Paint TV stand in basement

-Take a trip to Minneapolis to meet Young House Love; I'm SO excited for this!

-Clean windows before it snows

-Go on at least one date night with Jeremy

-Continue buying/making Christmas gifts

-Catch up on my Project Life

My Goals: October 2012

I like to make lists. Yep, I'm a list maker. I love being able to cross things off my list. It makes me feel like I'm getting things done. So, in honor of "getting things done" I decided I should blog my goals for each month in the hopes that I end up accomplishing even more.

-Spend lots of family time embracing the new season (You can find my printable for this here)

-Start and finish Christmas pillow cases for the kids (this one will be the biggest challenge!)

-Have some type of "get together" with friends

-Go on 2 dates with Jeremy

-Make 2 kinds of soup to freeze

-Keep up with my exercise routine

-Post at least twice a week

-Deep clean the house before winter weather sets in

-Try 1 new recipe from Pinterest

-Buy at least 6 more Christmas gifts (I like to shop early so I'm not buying everything the week before)

-Read a new book
