My December Goals!!!
[going for 5 goals this month because I don't want December to be insane!]
1 || Give intentional gifts to family for Christmas
I want to give meaningful gifts this year, and hope that I will not get too lazy to make this happen! My
Frugal Gifts that Give Back series has really inspired me!
2 || Prepare a garden space
We now have a great amount of green space that we're moving into this month! I've been looking forward to planting a garden and have figured out where to put it! I'd like to do a little series about it here on the blog and be ready for planting by January!
3 || Pack and Move with low stress
My goal is for this to be our best move yet -- being patient, organized and gracious! ... and did I say, patient?
4 || Swim at least 2x per week
With my back hurting and my baby bump growing, I think swimming should be a big help! I hope the weather will permit me to not have excuses!
5 || Finish reading The Best Yes
I have both the book and the audio for this text and am about 1/4 of the way through right now. I love the writing style and the honest stories. I believe that this book is super relevant to me and has a lot of nuggets to apply to my life -- an unhurried life is the goal! If you haven't purchased this book --
