March Goals

Before I move onto this month's goals I want to revisit last month's...
+Start working out (3+ times a week) Although it has not been perfect, I really feel like exercising is part of my routine now, which is a great feeling! I plan to keep this up :)  +Reorganize budget and set realistic savings goals +Organize basement and set up a functional study space Done & done! This is one of my favorite places in the house these days... +Be more organized with school & school deadlines I can definitely still stand to improve on this... but I feel less stressed out about school!  +Organized Jack's baby clothes and put them away in basement womp, womp. This totally didn't happen... this goal is being carried right on over! +Spend active one-on-one time with John at least once a week I'm not checking this one off because there is DEFINITELY still some room for improvement! +Unplug MORE Giving up Twitter/IG for Lent has really helped with this!  +Try new things (go places) with Jack I will need to blog about our big trip to Minneapolis ASAP! 
Now onto a blank slate (1.5 weeks in...)

February Goals

After reading Shay's blog last week, I am loving the idea of making monthly goals and revisiting them at the beginning of the next month. 
At the beginning of the year Erin had written a post about the idea of setting monthly goals with her husband, making yearly goals seem less daunting. While I may have had certain goals in mind or weekly tasks, John and I haven't necessarily been on the same page... this month it is time to change that! In January I talked about positivity and getting my life back to a place of center and balance, it's time to start holding myself accountable to that! 
I realize that we are already a week into February, but I now have a better idea of what my goals are going to be (and may have already checked a few off of the list!) 

+Start working out (3+ times a week)
+Reorganize budget and set realistic savings goals
+Organize basement and set up a functional study space
+Be more organize with school & school deadlines
+Organized Jack's baby clothes and put them away in basement
+Spend active one-on-one time with John at least once a week
+Unplug MORE
+Try new things (go places) with Jack
Can't wait to revisit this list in March and see where we are at! What are some of your February goals?

I had a different post set to go tomorrow, but then Erin posted and I couldn't resist making a list of my own! It was challenging at times to think of things, but there were some things on there that I didn't even think of until I started exploring the possibilities that this year has! 

1. Take a trip with my husband, just the two of us! Already doing this in TWO weeks :) Seattle here we come!
2. Maintain a 3.5 (or higher) GPA both semesters of my first year of grad school!
3. Be debt free (pesky hospital bills...) & continue to grow our savings. coughdownpaymentonahousecough
