Happy 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.
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!!!!)
June Goals:
Family
- Complete Sophie’s kitchen tower and board book
- Have June date night with Jeffrey
- Start swim lessons
Life
- Read Ready Player One and The Fringe Hours
- Reach 10,000 steps every day
- Do arm exercises three times/week
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!
Yay for the date night and trips to the library! Good luck on June’s goals and have a blast at BlogU. Sorry I couldn’t go. I couldn’t justify a blog conference since I’m not looking to do anything more with my blog than it just being an online journal. Great work on the blog design thus far!
Totally makes sense for you to not go! Spending that much money is hard to justify even if a blog is making money!
We are also hoping to take some swim lessons this summer! (And sign up for the local pool.) Last summer, we had a blast at the pool, but I have to confess that it makes me a little nervous – so lessons would be good. One of my main goals is to be “more social” online. 🙂
We had Soph’s second swim lesson today and she’s absolutely beside herself! It’s more of a swim safety class for the parents, rather than learning how to swim (that will be the next class.) We’re checking out a local pool today, of which I’m sure I’ll write about! 😉 You’re off to a good start being ‘more social’ online!! 😀 Commenting is a huge part (of which I need to do better at as well.)
