January Goals Recap and February Goals

So back at the beginning of the month I mad a goals post. Well, now it's time to recap them, as January is over and make new ones for February.

Here were January's Goals:

So let's go through them:

1. Blog at least once a week. -- Well, I got in 5 posts this month for this blog and 7 posts in my other blog. So I would say I met that one!
2. Write Bible verse daily. -- Total fail on this one! I only managed to do it for the first day.
3. Read at least two books. -- Another failure. Oh well. I'll just have to read more in February!
4. Redo blog pages bar. -- I actually did this over on my other blog. Now to actually figure it out for this one!
5. Donate to the church. -- Yep, did this one!

So all in all, 3 out 5. Not too bad for my first time attempting this whole goal thing. One thing I did start doing that WASN'T on my goal sheet was creating "title graphics" for my blogs. And I've been using those graphics on the Facebook page as well! I really like them and I'm glad I saw Pam at Hodge Podge Moments do so it gave me the idea!

Now onto February!

Intention

Consistency

Define it

1. Daily Bible reading. -- This will be starting at Lent (10th)

2. Weekly blogging. -- Minimum of 4 posts on BOTH blogs!

3. Daily cleaning routines. -- Described below with photo.

4. Daily journaling.

Oddball

1. Read two books or more.

So here's my goals for the month:

Blogging:

1. Blog weekly on both blogs, or a minimum of 4 posts for the month.

2. Make sure I put posts on Instagram and Facebook pages.

3. Figure out a drop down menu thing for this blog.

Personal:

1. Read the Bible daily starting on Ash Wednesday. (Note: Must find Lenten Bible reading plan.)

2. Post #RethinkChurch #Lent2016 Photo a Day challenge on Instagram.

3. Journal daily.

4. Read two books, or more, as I'm behind already.

5. Get homeschool materials together for Princess.

6. Daily cleaning routines.

I promised a little more about that one. So here is what I'm doing:

.

I found this great calendar on Drops of Learning. It's the Motivated Moms Chore Planner. But it costs. (Yes, I know it's only $8.) I'm all about the freebie! I HATE spending money on things that aren't "necessity." So I created the above weekly planner page. That one is for this week. It's based off of the Fly Lady Method. So I left spots for the daily "zone missions" and put in the "weekly home blessing hour" items and even some "deep cleaning" items. Along with the daily tasks are basically the "baby step" routines.

Oh, and yes, I know Princess is IN preschool, but she does so well with directed tasks, that we're going to supplement at home too!

So those are my goals for the month and the recap as well.

Poor Blog!

This poor blog has been forgotten! I guess that's because I started a Facebook Page for Princess! Now I've been micro-blogging her adventures! Granted, it has come in handy because we had a trip the ER about a month ago for another tummy bug! But otherwise, I have sadly forgotten this wonderful blog! I've done a bit of updating. Made us a new cover. Changed the colors. May do some more tweaking here and there. Here's a list of things I plan to tell you about:

• NICU follow-up Clinic (November)
• Cardiology (November)
• Nephrology (December)
• Doc-phobia and overcoming it
• Enrolling Little Man in Kindergarten (What????)
• Little Man's 5th Birthday

And coming up next week, we make the huge 2 hour trip. But not to go to the nephrologist! Instead we are going next door to Shriners! Short version: Princess has one bowed leg. NICU clinic and a PT eval BOTH recommended she be seen at Shriners about it. So next week, we are off to there! I'm hoping to get some blog updating going here really soon! Otherwise, if you wanna follow Princess, here is her Facebook Page. Like I said, I do micro-blog there! So you may get some quick updates every now and then and longer things here. At least that's my hope!

Blog-Keeping Post

So I decided to do this Blog Every Day in May thing to hopefully get me back into blogging!

There has been SO MUCH that has happened that I want to update about, but I haven't gotten around to doing it! Mainly because I don't get a whole lot of time to blog. I'd love to be able to write my entries after Princess goes to sleep, but then again there are nights like tonight where she doesn't want to go to sleep. Usually this happens because she takes a late nap. Not tonight. Tonight she coughed so much she puked. So now she's wide awake. She's had this cough for a few days now. I'm giving her "honey cough syrup." It's literally dark honeys and vitamin C. I've also been dong the humidifier at night. It doesn't help that I truly think this is allergy related. There's not much I can give her except Benadryl. And the Benadryl makes her sleepy. (Why didn't I give that to her tonight?)

Okay, so here's the list of things I need to update on here:

1. Clinic Visits
2. Crawling
3. First Birthday
4. 6 Month Goals
5. Homeschooling
6. Playgroups
7. Formula NIGHTMARE!
8. Beach Trip

I'm sure there are other things that need to be updated, but those are things that come to mind right now.

Anyway, I must go corral Princess and see if she's going to go to bed any time soon. I'm hopeful but I doubt it seriously! Okay, so that's the blog update for today. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some more written about something that's more substantial than this rambling blog-keeping post!
