Monthly Goals: March

For the past few months I've seen lots of bloggers post monthly goals. 

I've been really drawn to these posts because I think it's a really great idea. 

I tend to feel like I do the same thing every day. 

I clean the house and take care of the kiddos. 

Now, I'm not saying those aren't important things. 

I actually enjoy keeping the house from becoming a complete disaster and I adore my kids. 

However, life can feel kind of boring, when that's all I'm doing. 

It honestly doesn't leave me feel like I'm living, but just getting through the days. 

I don't enjoy that feeling! 

I believe having some monthly goals will help me to feel different. 

At least that's what I'm hoping for! 

I've been meaning to post monthly goals for a few months. 

With having been pregnant, having a newborn, and taking care of two crazy toddlers,

it just hasn't happened, but this week I made it a goal! 

Here are my goals for March:

For myself:

Journal more. Once a week, at least. 

Spent time in the Word. I am using the lent reflective journal from nap time diaries. 

Give up shopping for Lent.

Read a few books - a chapter a week of Hands Free Mama and finish reading Reshaping it all. 

For the house:

Declutter, declutter, declutter! I'm participating in the #40bagsin40days challenge. 

Get back on track with the cleaning schedule I made months ago! 

For the family:

Go to church. We haven't been in forever. 

Have Bible time with my kiddos every single day! 

Go on a few dates with my husband. 

This seems like a good list to me for the first month. 

I'm hoping I can be successful, but I'm going to give myself grace as well. 

It's not about being perfect. It's about trying. 

At least for me.
