June Goals Update

Remember this post where I explained how I wanted June to be a month of conscious spending, getting things done I’ve been putting off, and enjoying life.

Well you know what June became the month of? MOVING. And all things unpacking. And craziness.

Here are my June goals so let’s see how I did.

1. Save money and stick to the budget. Not too bad. I actually made a budget and then…moving happened. And with moving comes unexpected costs and the little things add up. I give myself an E for effort.

2. Organize our new house. Everything gets a home and a
designated place. Ha. I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this. Actually, I probably thought J and I would be able to move everything in one weekend. Nevermind the fact that it took us 2 weeks to move all our stuff. And that’s just moving. Not the actual putting away of everything. I did have a fairly successful garage sale though!

3. Cook new recipes and make weekend trips to the farmers market. No farmer’s market trips, but lots of fresh fruit and veggies in our house. Peaches, watermelon, cherries, and strawberries. Not so many new recipes in June.

4. Loosen up on Ben’s bedtime. I’m trying. But having to wrestle a tired, grizzly, three year old bear in the mornings before school is not fun. On the weekends bedtime is free game, but I like sticking to our routine for school nights. 

5. Complete those Pintrest projects I’ve been wanting to do since Christmas. Ahhh nope.

6. Give thanks everyday for everything He has
given us. I find myself doing this more and more. 

So that brings us to July.

I feel like I have already accomplished so much more this past weekend than I did the whole month of June. Stay tuned to find out what’s up for July!
