June Goals

June goalsHappy June to you all! June means school’s out, the sun’s out and there should be less work and more play. May, as always, flew by despite it’s thirty-one days. I made sure we had scheduled rest because I knew we’d be exhausted with all we had planned. I was right in doing that but I think June is going to go by even faster!

Before jumping into June’s goals, let’s see how I did for May. I rocked my family goals. We went to the library at least once per week and visited the park more than three times per week as a family. Jeffrey and I had an amazing date night in Chicago where we dined at the Rosebud Theater District before being blown away by the awesomeness that is The Book of Mormon. Thankfully I did great at my family goals because I bombed my life goals. I partially completed each one of which I’m completely satisfied with.Indy 500 2015

Despite not accomplishing everything I had planned regarding my blog goals, I’m still proud of what I completed. There are still tweaks I want to make with the re-design but know I’ll need to focus large chunks of time to work on them. I am half way done completing six photo backdrops and designed/received my business cards for BlogU (that’s this weekend!!!!)

Bubble FestivalJune Goals:

Family

  • Complete Sophie’s kitchen tower and board book
  • Have June date night with Jeffrey
  • Start swim lessons

Life

Blog

  • Attend first blog conference: BlogU
  • Implement one task from conference
  • Complete half of re-design tweaks

The key to goal planning is to make sure they’re achievable. I know that this month’s goals needed to be slightly easier because of all we have planned. I’ll be away from home the next two weekends and will be going on vacation the last week of the month. The week days in between are speckled with appointments, lessons and play dates. I’m looking forward to all of the fun ahead but also really excited about the scheduled reading time for mandatory relaxation. What do you have planned this month? I’d love to know your goals!

Page Turners Book Selection: June

Have you recovered from The Martian yet? We have and we’re ready for more sci-fi! What Lisa and I want to read for June is:

Ready Player One Book Club
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

The synopsis of this book sounds like a cross between the movies Surrogates and The Matrix. The main character is navigating a virtual world and stumbles on something that puts him in danger. It’s got 4.31/5 stars on Goodreads, so that says something.

Ready Player One
Hope you can score a copy of this at your local library. Thankfully I have a gamer husband, so my copy was free too! Don’t forget, we’ll be discussing Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) on May 29.
