Last week we wanted to get several things done around our house. When our house learned of the plan, it gave out a giant laugh and told its house friends “Hey y’all! Watch this!”
And then we spent the entire week trying to deal with kitchen sink and plumbing problems.
Such is life!
Here’s how we did with last week’s goals.

How are you doing in reaching your goals? Are there areas that you find yourself constantly struggling with? How do you push through those bumps in the road?
I just helped out with that pinterest goal of yours ;O) You’re doing amazing from what I can see. That’s one long list. I’m seeing lots of goal making at the moment. I really need to start writing my goals down again.
It’s definitely a challenging list to get through. Thanks so much for the Pinterest help! 🙂
It’s great to read about your goals, it reminds me to set my own too! Thank you for sharing this helpful series of posts with us at Hearth and Soul, Jamie.
