This week will be a busy one. We are very busy with baseball and softball season gearing up, plus it’s Holy Week which means extra things to do. And I’d like to find some quiet time to reflect on the meaning of these days.
I still have hopes of accomplishing some things on our March Goals list, though. We are running out of time!
Hubby and I are also coming up with some bigger ways to tackle our BHAG, and I’ll be sharing that in the next couple of weeks at our April Yearly Goals check in.
First, a Check In on Last Week’s Goals

My goal is to balance out the areas that will need more attention with smaller goals in other areas so I’m not overwhelmed.
Have you set up your goals for the week?
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. 
I hope your laptop can be fixed or you can get a replacement of sorts soon! I would be so lost without my computer, ha! And while, sure, my house also has tablets and phones, it’s just not the same, and there’s so many things that don’t work just right. Though I recently downloaded the Swagbucks app and I do quite enjoy getting the notifications for the codes, and have had no issues doing a survey on the app as well!
I hope so, too! I don’t enjoy using the tablets. There’s nothing quite like a real laptop for writing on. I might have to give the Swagbucks app a try.
I’ve done Swagbucks and I know people who swear by it but I found it to be a lot of effort for not much reward.
There are so many different ways to earn on Swagbucks. I’m pretty picky. I won’t do the surveys much, because that can be a gigantic time waster when you aren’t selected. But they often have advertisements on the main page that I can easily do while I’m accomplishing housework at the same time. And the daily survey takes no time or effort. Once you find things that work well for you, it can be a way to pile up some pennies for very little effort.
So sorry to hear about your laptop! I’m so attached to mine, especially with a blog! I fear mine will kick the bucket in the not too distant future! 🙁
I’m excited to hear about your bigger ideas for tackling your BHAG! Maybe I’ll find some inspiration when you share. 🙂 Hope you’re enjoying Easter with your family! 🙂
Thanks, we had a wonderful Easter! It’s a real pain dealing blogging with a tablet. I wish I had the time to shop for a laptop! Hopefully soon.
Bummer about your laptop! =/ Still good progress though!!
Yeah, we are shopping for a new one now. Blogging on this tablet thingy isn’t much fun, but it’s frugal! 😉
