Last week I posted some goals for myself.  Here’s where you hold me accountable!  I didn’t do as well as I might have hoped, because I came down with a bad head cold that knocked me out for a couple of days.  Oh well, it’s a new week to try again!

Here are last week’s goals:

Home Goals

  • paint the front door  See more here.
  • clean the porch and get ready for fall decor: Didn’t happen due to several large wasp nests on the porch! 
  • fix the back door  Finally finished and working great!!
  • repair and rehang the gate for the goat pen (ok, so that’s a barn to do)
  • repair and rehang the gate for the back yard  Waiting on specialty hinges coming in the mail.

Money/Frugal Goals

Family Goals

  • have a date night with hubby, even if it has to be a home date
  • take 2 kids out for one on one time

Blog Goals

Personal Goals

I am terrible at doing things for myself!  I want to be more proactive in this area for sure.

  • get 8 hours of sleep at least 5 nights
  • walk 10,000 steps 3 days
  • make an eye doctor appointment  I had to reschedule when I got sick.

 

Here are this week’s goals:

Home Goals:  Successful people don't have fewer problems.I like to walk through the house and figure out what a realtor would tell me to do in order to sell the house.  Then I do it for our own family instead!

  • Clean the front porch (assuming wasp removal!)
  • Paint front bench
  • Repair back gate (assuming hinges arrive)
  • Finish installing zipline
  • Clean up and prepare for guests

Money/Frugal Goals:  We are trying to pay off debt.  (sigh!)  For ways we’ve saved money this week, check this out.

Family Goals:

  • Spend time with hubby
  • Spend time as a family at the company picnic
  • Celebrate my birthday!

Blog Goals:  I launched this blog a little over a month ago!  I’m pretty happy with the growth so far.

Personal Goals:  My biggest weakness is doing things for myself.

  • make it to my eye doctor appointment this week!
  • walk 10,000 steps 3 days
  • finish reading Boundaries

So those are our family goals for the week.  What goals are you progressing towards?

    Good luck on your goals this week! Here is one of my more popular pins, plus, it could be helpful in trying out a GF diet with your daughter 🙂 I’m 7 yrs gluten, corn, and dairy free. Happy to help if I can pass along any ideas 🙂

    Great goals! I am working on the steps goal as well. We recently switched over to GF diet, and I am still learning how to cook for it but it gets easier every week.

      I am surprised at how many things he is still able to eat that are GF. It helps that he likes salads.

      Thanks so much for the tips! I recently found the SITS girls. Aren’t they amazing? I’ll definitely look into your Pinterest board, too.
