I think I will look forward to moving into the month of March. This month has been so snowy and chilly! We’ve looked at over twenty homes in the last month and it’s been exhausting. Hoping to have some news to share soon!
- Continue to monetize my blog. My ongoing goal. Have you taken the time to check out my page on Amazon? This page is where I put all the items I just love, from favorite cookbooks to gardening tools. Please check it out, Another aspect of this goal involves increasing my readership. If you enjoy reading my blog, please recommend it to your friends. I sure appreciate all my new subscribers!
2. Create a cookbook. You may remember this goal was on my list last year and I finally put it aside. My goal for this year is to have my cookbook ready by November 2019. This is an ongoing project, when I have free time I’m busy adding recipes to my ever growing document! I’ll be glad when I can begin adding the photos!
3. Have 20 minutes of exercise at least 5 times a week. Still getting our exercise by looking at houses. We’ve also helped my daughter out and walked her puppy. Having a dog helps you to get exercise each day, we’re just not ready to get another dog yet!
4. Explore ten 9 parks or hiking trails in the state of Washington we now call home! Didn’t happen. Look forward to the next park we discover!
5. Incorporate 20 13 new recipes into our dinner plans with the focus on healthy eating. This week was my husbands birthday. I made him a delicious salmon dinner that was also a healthy recipe! I glazed the salmon with some mustard and honey and it was delicious! I will be sharing the recipe soo!
6. Read 35 26 new books this year. Finished my ninth book , Tapestry of Fortunes by Elizabeth Berg. Elizabeth Berg is an author I recently discovered and I’ve really enjoyed her books. I couldn’t resit reading another of her books when I saw it was available at the library!. Wonderful story of a woman making a new start in life. She sells her suburban house and moves into a house with three roommates. The women head out on a road trip to reconnect with various aspects of their past.
7. Complete Four 2 knitting or sewing projects this year. Second project is finished! The third project is in the works. The material for the placemats has been cut out and is ready for the sewing machine. Hopefully I’ll find time this week to get this done! Also planning a trip to see my daughter and do a little sewing with my granddaughter!
8. Visit family on the west coast. We’ll be heading to Portland the end of the week to visit our daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. Always fun to visit,
9. Explore Six 5 new museums in the area. The pass for the Tacoma Glass Museum is one popular pass. We may grab the one for the Gig Harbor History Museum in the meantime.
10. Find a new home. Frustrating to be looking for a house in such a hot market. Several times we have looked at a house we like and by the time we get home there is an offer so we have to immediately decide if we want to place an offer or not. No new home yet but we’re hoping to have news soon! I am encouraged at the number of homes we’ve looked at that already have raised beds in place.
“The thing about goals is that living without them is a lot more fun, in the short run. It seems to me, though, that the people who get things done, who lead, who grow and who make an impact… those people have goals.”
