January Goal Recap

January has ended!  Unlike some years, January didn't drag by but rather it kinda moved quickly.  I totally know it's because the weather has been super mild and for that I'm actually thankful.  Yes, I enjoy winter and snow but the mild weather has also been nice since last year was so cold and nasty!

Here's a recap of my January Goals:

So, here's the goal plan for January

1. One of my yearly goals is to go fun places and take photos.  I don't foresee us going into Grand Rapids this month so I'm going to try and find some place local that is fun to take a photo. We didn't get anywhere for photos but I did get a few of the boys outside in the snow. 

2. Scrapbooking - I have a couple of goals for this month.  1) Clean up my desk so I can scrapbook again.  2) By January 31st go through all of the "January" photos on my hard drive and make sure they are sorted and uploaded to Snapfish. I did have my desk cleaned off at some point (but it is piled high again - tackling it this weekend again!) but I have not yet uploaded photos.  

3) Reading - My goal is to read 4 books in January. 1) The Printed Letter Bookshop 2) The Bright Season 3) The Boy in the Photo 4) The Power of a Positive Mom  I'm also working on finding a book to support my Goal Word - Perfect Peace. I have read some but not enough!  

4) Cleaning - I've created my January plan for the rest of the month!   Now to accomplish it all! My January goal was the boys rooms and the master bedroom.  The master bedroom is done.  Josh's room is done; Nate's got put on hold because a shelf collapsed and I need to pick up a new one before a finish.  

5) Family - I'd like to go see a movie as the family - there are some really great ones out.We did this! 

6)  Homeschool - Wrap up the 1st semester; Create a set of flashcards and a speed test for both boys to use during seatwork time: find division problems for seatwork time for practice, set up a Monday morning meeting time to start each week off on the right foot; Make sure both boys are current in their AWANA books This is also all done! And we have started out second semester strong. 

7. Update my Holiday journal with information from this past Thanksgiving and Christmas; Look ahead at my plans for Valentines day and set that in motion. Done :-) 

8) Get Nate new shoes and Josh a new pair of dress pants Nate has new shoes - still need to get Josh to Walmart to try on pants :-) 

9) Pick out a piano song to practice and . .. well, practice it until I have it down.  Also, practice my song for special music. Didn't really have a chance to focus on this. 

10) A friend shared a bible study online on James - I plan to start that this month.I thought about it - does that count? 

11) Finances - Stick to my January plan for the rest of the month. I have stuck to our plan for the most part. 

12) Complete our 2019 Taxes I'm waiting for one document to come but otherwise they are done. 

I think that's it for this month!  Here's to another great year of getting things done!
