Happy 2025! I didn't intend to not write at all in January, but between snow days, sickness, and just settling back into the routine of life, things got away from me! Let's see if I can stay on track!
It's the first Friday of the month, so it's time for some new monthly goals!
December recap
I missed doing this recap in January, so here's how I did with my December goals!
1. Read 3 (or more!) books - Yes! I can't remember my exact number, but I hit my reading goal for the year!
2. Implement a weekday - and weekend bedtime - Failed on this one so hard! I think I need to revisit this one!
3. Deep clean/declutter living room - Another fail!
4. Finish Charli's clothes and shoes and move at least one furniture piece out of her room - I finished hanging all of her winter clothes and swapping out some of her shoes but didn't move the furniture piece out. Boo!
5. Blog and social media schedules - I stalled out on this one. Dang!
6. Stick to our budget and spending/income trackers - I did okay on this one but stopped tracking towards the end of the month during the holidays.
7. Find one new quick dinner recipe and actually make it - Didn't do this one either
8. Make Charli's eye appointment - Yes! Done and we have a follow up appointment next month!
9. Order new glasses - Yes! Two pairs and sunglasses! I'll have to share pictures soon!
10. Schedule a donation pickup - I didn't do this one yet but want to wait until we have more to give. I hate having them come to our house for just one bag of items!
February goals
1. Read 13 (or more!) books
My goal for this year is to read 150 books! To do that, I need to read 12.5 books per month, so I'm going to round up to 13 just to make it easier to track!
2. Implement a weekday - and weekend - bedtime
I'm so bad about staying up too late, and then I drag through my days. I really need to work on this! That's what I wrote when I originally made that goal, but it still stands!
3. Deep clean/declutter living room
It's such a mess, and it makes our house feel chaotic as soon as you walk in. There's a lot of decluttering work we need to do, but this is my starting point.
4. Finish Charli's clothes and shoes and move at least one furniture piece out of her room
It's consignment season, so I should be able to get all of the too small spring/summer stuff out for selling and see what else I need to swap around...just in time to start phasing out winter clothes and boots next month!
The first furniture piece I'm going to move out is a small entertainment stand that has piles of toys, clothes, and who knows what else on it! I'll either donate it or just put it on a local buy nothing group!
5. Blog and social media schedules
I have a lot of this listed in a document, but I printed some schedule templates that I need to fill in so that everything is in one place, and I can check things off as I write and post!
6. Stick to our budget and spending/income trackers
I slacked on this a lot in January, but I have some financial and career goals, so I need to get on top of these so that I can make progress on those goals!
7. Find one new quick dinner recipe and actually make it!
I think I'm going to find a slow cooker meal to do, especially since next week is supposed to be cold and rainy!
8. Schedule a donation pickup
I've got a full black trash bag of items, plus I'll have that entertainment stand from Charli's room, and I'm sure as I work through consignment stuff, I'll come across more items that are still in decent shape but not pristine enough to sell.
9. Gather/hang up consignment stuff and start inputting them into the system
The two consignment sales I'm participating in have March drop off dates. If I at least get everything gathered and hung up and start inputting items into the systems, I'll be in decent shape in March and should just have to print and place tags. I'm usually doing everything the day before the drop off days, so I'll be doing really well this time!
10. Schedule an oil change for both cars
My car isn't overdue because I don't drive very far, but it's had an issue with running out of oil without warning before, so I'm trying to stay on top of the oil changes! My husband has a longer drive for his job, so we need to keep his running smoothly also! The oil changes may not happen this month, but I can at least get them scheduled!
Hopefully I'll do better this month than I did in December!
I'd love to hear any goals any of you have this month!
