January Goals Check In
Personal
1. Read 1 book I read 3 books: Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. 1760 pages!
2. Scrapbook 15 pages I completed 14 pages.
3. Cook I made 4 slowcooker meals, which is a huge time saver! I also made 4 recipes from a magazine or cookbook. I would have made more, but so many of my recipes are desserts. Eating dessert does not equal weight loss.
4. Journal daily 31 days!
5. Savings My goals was to spend $100 a week on groceries. Unfortunately, with a family of 6, that is a hard goal to make. So, I have focused on saving 50%. I saved $496.27 this month.
Family
1. Read We did some reading, but need to work at this more.
2. Eat Emma beat the boys by trying more new foods. She is really the only one willing to try anything new. Cooper sometimes will try, but Carson, he only tried 1 new thing.
3. Exercise We lost track of how many times we each went, but we are making great progress considering how little free time we have.
4. Family We had 1 family night. We need to improve in this area also.
5. Starbucks While I wasn't able to get to 1 trip a week, I did manage to cut my trips in half. When Josh has days it is no problem avoiding Starbucks, but the weekends and when he has swings, it is just too tempting.

2010 Family Goals
1. Read
The kids have a great collection of books. Carson loves reading and listening to me read. The other kids, not so much. However, I think reading is very important. Our family goal is to read 1-3 books together a month.
2. Eat
We need to eat more veggies around here. Dinner usually involves making 2 or more different meals. Parker eats almost anything. Emma eats a lot and will at least try a bite. Cooper will sometimes try something new. Carson will NOT try anything new. I would love if we would all just eat the same thing. Our family goal is to try what mom makes and eat healthier. The kids will earn stickers for trying what I make. When they get 15 stickers they will receive a reward.
3. Exercise
Josh and I are members at 24hour fitness. We both have been 1 time in the last 3 months. Our goal is to go as much as possible every month. The person that goes the most during the month will receive a reward. Our goal is also to go on 1 family walk a week.
4. Family
The kids love having movie night. Our goal is to have 1 family night a week. We may watch a movie, play games, or bake something. We also need to talk nicer to one another and be better helpers.
5. Money
We are going to try to save more money. Our Starbucks spending is OUTRAGOUS! I got a new Frappaccino maker for Christmas. I will be able to make my drinks at home. Our goal is to go to Starbucks 1 time a week, instead of 7 times a week at $8 a visit. Also, we want to stay on our monthly budget and pay off debt.

2010 Personal Goals
1. Read
I love to read. However, I never seem to find the time. I have a list of books I would like to read but I could use a few more suggestions. Any books I should read? So far on the list is the Twlight series and Julie and Julia. My goal is to read 1 book a month.
2. Scrapbook
I miss scrapbooking. I haven’t created a page in a long time, nor have I gotten any pictures printed. I still have some of 2008 to finish. I haven’t even started on 2009. So, my goal is to work on pictures from the current month. At the end of each month I will also print out the pictures from that month. Hopefully, at the end of the year I will have completed 2008, 2009, and 2010 up to December. My goal is to scrapbook 1-2 times a week.
3. Cook
I love to cook. I love to read cooking magazines. I have a large pile of recipes I would like to make. The pile seems to grow larger and larger. This year, my goal is to cook 1 recipe from a magazine a week. I would also like to make some recipes from my growing cookbook collection. So, my goal is to also make 1 recipe a week from a cookbook. Finally, dinner time is always crazy around here. I just started using my slowcooker. I love how easy it is to make a meal without a lot of work. So, I am hoping to use my slowcooker 1 time a week. So, 1 time a week I will cook from a magazine, a cookbook, and use my slowcooker.
4. Journal
The kids are always saying the funniest things. I always mean to write them down, but I always forget too. My goal is to create a family journal and write in it daily.
5. Savings
I have been using coupons for 7 months now. I am finally into a system that works and it easy to keep up. My grocery budget is usually $125 a week. This year, my goal is to get that down to $100 a week.
