So I just looked at my goals for 2012 and I only accomplished 2 out of the 10 that I set for last year! Whew that is terrible!! This year I am going to break down my goals into more measureable goals. I am also going to check in once a month so I can be more accountable and and see when I miss a goal and correct it before the end of the year. So onto the goals!
1. Read through the bible chronologically with the you version app (truth be told I started this early in December when I finished reading through from last year.
2. Project 365 – if I miss a picture or two my goal is to keep going! I found a cool site (Capture Your 365) with photo challenges for when I am having a hard time thinking of something to do for my picture :-)
3. Keep up with Motivated Moms cleaning plan. I actually bought it for my phone this year (wasn’t available last year). My goal is to do everything for the week within the week. Some days are just to busy to get everything on the list done!
4. Knitting – I haven’t done any knitting in a long time! I want to learning some new skills this year and just knit more frequently. I want to learn 5 new techniques this year and make some handmade gifts.
5. Sewing – I want to take a sewing class or two this year. I have a pretty basic skill set and I want to increase my knowledge and ability. My parent’s got me sewing class gift certificate so this will certainly help with this goal!
6. Make 1 homemade gift for each person for Christmas. In order to achieve this and not go crazy I need to do 1.5 gifts each month.
7. Blog 20 times a month. This might be way to hard. But I want my goals to stretch me and grow me this year!
8. Finish up the Kindergarten and start First Grade with Sammy!
9. Purge and deep clean one room a month.
- January – Kitchen
- February – Family Room (including the coat closet)
- March – Yard (clean up debris, stuff from under deck, etc.)
- April – Garage
- May – Cars
- June – Shed
- July – Sammy’s Bedroom
- August – Master Bedroom
- September – Laundry room and linen closet
- October – Bathrooms
- November - Guest Bedroom
- December - Dinning room
10. Print pictures- I have a confession.. I haven’t printed a single picture since Sammy’s first birthday. My goal for this year is to print 2 years worth of pictures and then put them in simple albums. This means I will need to print 2 months worth each month.

#7...twenty times?!? i thought 14 was going to put me over the edge!! you can do it friend!!
Great goals - I can't wait to see what you do with the knitting and sewing goals :) Once we get back from vacation I'll be cutting out my first pattern dress for the girls. YIKES!
You should totally join in the 3in30 Challenge in January :)
I jotted a couple of these down to consider. I have to say I am already working on the last one. Loaded umpteen years of photos to shutterfly after cleaning the folders out to absolute faves and getting rid of random pics (digital cameras can be a curse when it comes to numbers of photos) the task of printing (or cost of) seems a little tough so I haven't decided how I am going to break down the doing of it yet!
I might need that app I hate cleaning.
I need to sit down and figure out my goals.......
I love all of your goals for 2013!
I am going to snag your monthly cleaning schedule, since you already planned it out so nicely! lol :)
Good luck with your list, I know you can do it!!!
On the print pictures, have you thought about just starting with a couple framed prints, or maybe a photo book? It would be more fun and maybe more motivating. Good luck!!
20x!!! rockstar blogger!
i need to print pictures too. i have all these beautiful pictures of the kids taken...and i do nothing with them!
here's to setting (and maintaining!) goals!!
Lindsey - good for you! those are some great goals!
I have done the chronological bible (granted, it took 2 years) and it was a great way to read the bible!
the other day I saw an "someecards" and it said, "Has it really been a year since I didn't become a better person?" and it made me laugh...thankfully, God's grace is there for us everyday, whether or not we accomplish our goals :)
As for blogging, I have committed to EVERYDAY to try to get back into it for a record of life. But the posts are deep thoughts or well written anymore....I just record something that happened that day....maybe It'll encourage me to get some thoughts brewing deeper :)
Mary
I would love it if you blogged 20 times a month. Good luck!
You have great goals - I looked at the Motivated Moms app & tried out the sample. It looks overwhelming!
I like the deep cleaning schedule - maybe we'll try something like that!
What are your plans for first grade? Any big changes to the choices you've already made, or just moving up a level with the curriculum you already use?
