This year, instead of setting large, yearly goals I’ve decided to set monthly goals. I think this will help me to stay on track, plus it gives me the flexibility to change my priorities and focus in goal setting. Last year, by the end of the year I realized I didn’t WANT to accomplish everything I had set as a goal the beginning of the year. Also, this year I’m having a baby and who knows how that is going to change my world!
At the beginning of this year, I decided to think about my long term goals and set monthly goals, not any yearly goals.
I want them to be more specific and easier to evaluate whether or not I’m staying on track.
I’ve learned that sometimes my priorities and goals change (like when I got pregnant). I don’t know what motherhood is going to entail completely and it would be hard to set goals for this whole year, since I will have a baby in June. So, I’ve decided to set goals for a few months [...]
Yesterday I shared with you my word for 2013: self-discipline and why I chose it. I’m definitely excited for the fresh, new start that January brings. Last year I was overly ambitious with my goals list and this year I have decided that instead of yearly goals, I want to just focus on monthly goals. Who knows what the year may bring?
I promised you a recap of how I failed succeeded in some of my goals. I do have a good attitude about it. Without taking time to set goals – how would I know what direction to work towards? Here [...]
I’ve been doing some thinking on last year’s goals. I was very ambitious in my list and did not complete almost half of my goals. Though I did make some progress and it’s good to map out where you want to go. I just was to ambitious in what I wanted to take on at a time.
Tomorrow I will post last year’s goals recap and this year’s goals. I know I definitely want to cut back on the number of goals I make this year. I want them to be more specific and easier to evaluate whether or not I’m staying on [...]

I am definitely a list maker at heart. I L-O-V-E making lists.
In fact, I have been SOO looking forward to this point in my life (just ask my husband) in which I can write a list of 30 things I want to accomplish before I turn 30!!
The lists I make are often unachievable, because there is just so much I want to do, and I am often too optimistic about what I can fit into my life. So, for many of these goals I have listed both a task I KNOW I can accomplish and one I [...]

Last week we LOVED the Apple, Goat Cheese, and Pecan Pizza (except we are using Feta instead of Goat cheese). I figured out the cost breakdown (only $3 per pizza!!!):
Last week I spent time planning meals for the whole month. I decided to look over the past year of menu planning and picked out favorite meals of ours. Now, over the next couple of weeks, I’m going to calculate the costs for these meals I’ve chosen.
Wish me luck! It takes a lot of work, but I’m coming along.
Last Thursday I showed you how I make the Tomato Basil Pasta Salad. I figured the cost for that meal = $2.19 (because we used tomatoes and basil from the garden). For us, the meal only serves [...]
I will be hosting more giveaways to celebrate my blogiversary on September 5th!! Watch for details. July’s Goals list Update
In January, I shared most of my goals for 2012. Then, I broke those goals down into monthly and weekly goals. This summer has been slower going with some of my goals. Summer is just a crazy time of the [...]
Hi! So glad to see you here. I'm a soon-to-be mom, wife and a work-at-home piano teacher and tutor. I know I'm weird, but I love to menu plan, organize, set goals, DIY and enjoy life with my amazing husband - Matt Pool!
