I can’t believe it is already the seventh of April! Here is my goal list for the month, some are already planned to help with getting them done and others may or may not get done. I’m okay with that. I just like to use this a guide to help keep me on track. π

The Vanilla Housewife says
Haven’t gotten an album for my wedding photos too! Almost 10 years since our wedding day. π
Rebekah says
Oh good! I thought at first that I would have this beautiful scrapbook, nah…I’m just going to slide them into their spots. π Easier and much less time and stress involved. π
Peg Crawford says
Wow you have some great goals. I think it so much easier to get things done with a list. I found it very interesting that you listed several books from different categories. I will have to do that. It seems to easy to say I will get to it LATER.
Rebekah says
π I have piles and lists of books I want to read, putting them down on my goal list really helps get them done. It gives me options as well. Sometimes I want to read fiction, other times I want to learn so I can pick from what is on my goal sheet for the month and still feel like I’m getting things accomplished.

Sounds like a solid plan! I love Dave Ramsey! I used to listen to him on radio all the time until scheduling changed. I am curious if you ever have goals that are for you only outside of exercise? Maybe you don’t feel as depleted as I do, but that is something I’m working on and I’m thinking of putting it on the to-do list.
Rebekah says
I do have a couple goals for myself for the month, one is to complete my doula training, another to finish a book I started. I don’t really have a lot because really most of these goals are for myself, but I do try to make me time. Being a mom is hard work, it is always good to get away for a while and relax. Spend some time in reflection and prayer. Otherwise it is very easy to get burned out.

I didn’t know you were interested in doula work! I know several including a very good friend of mine! If you are ever wanting to connect with other doulas or get some advice, let me know and I’ll hook you up. π
Rebekah says
Oh, I would love to meet your friends!!! I’m super excited about my doula training this month, I’ve been interested in it for a really long time and just now decided it was time to take the plunge and get in. π
Brittany says
If it makes you feel better, I haven’t done much with my wedding photos either and its been over 5 years. I stuck some in a cheap album, but I wanted to scrapbook them… maybe someday. not anytime soon!
