My motivation for my February goals here was to do some brainstorming and research to set up my podcast as well as continue posting more regularly on this blog.
- Write 4 blog entries ✅
- This is my 4th post. I didn't quite keep the schedule I wanted because of some personal stuff that happened, but I did get the posts in.
- Create a "focus group" and survey ✅
- If anyone is interested, I have a survey I can send with some questions to help me make some decisions on my podcast.
- Go through podcast guide ✅
- I have a guide that works me through setting up a podcast with quite a bit of detail. I'll still have to use it as I continue the process, but it was helpful in thinking through some of the early details.
Personal Growth
I focused on my non-fiction reading goal. I finished three which I'm pretty happy with. That means I've read 5/15 towards my goal! I also got a fiction book in as well. Below are links to some of the books and also to some of my Goodreads reviews.
- Non-fiction
- Fiction
- Kids books
- Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure! (I read a few of these with Callie. We've been slowly going through chapter books before she goes to bed.)
- Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House, No. 1) (These are also chapter books I've read with Callie. She really likes them and we've read 3 so far.)
I've been working on getting back into the routine of working out as well as continuing to incorporate healthy meals into our weekly rotation. I even got to work out outside one day which was amazing! And the addition of Graze snacks have helped me during the afternoon slump at work. I still need some work in these areas, but I'm definitely seeing improvement.
Connection
Each of the girls got some one-on-one time this month. Letty went with me to Starbucks and then to Target to go shoe shopping. Callie went with my mom and I to Savoy to eat lunch and have tea. Sophia stayed with me one morning while Lee took the older girls out. She got to play with all the toys and dance to all the songs. I've also been working on connecting more with Lee. Here is my post on our first time to do Datebox and other things we try to do at home. Finally we've been blessed to be able to start a community group in our home. I'm really enjoying getting to spend time with other people at church while diving into the Word.
Other
God has blessed us in being able to save some financially towards a few of our goals. And it's getting closer to time to plant our garden. I know it's silly, but I'm a bit nervous about it for some reason. Thankfully my mom has volunteered to help after tax season is over!
How about you? How are you progressing towards your 2018 goals?
