My Monthly Goals - April 2015 - #friendswithgoals


April is a month of stepping further into my new role as mommy of two and learning to thrive. One of my favorite phrases comes from a song that both my husband and I love, "I wanna thrive, not just survive" from Switchfoot! I hope to embrace that concept this month as things continue to change in my little world.


First things first, here's how things went for my
March Goals:: 
1 || Mail out baby shower thank-you's!
YAY! I got these sent out for those I had addresses for -- friends and family keep showering the gifts, so now I have more thank-you's to write! :)
2 || Be patient and present in the waiting for Ember to arrive.
This was super hard -- thankfully my parents were a great help for fun and walks. I have to say, I started to loose my mind, though -- since I didn't have her until 40 weeks 5 days! I stopped working after my due date, so I do think I was able to be more present, but boy does waiting mess with your mind! And SHE'S HERE NOW, so all that waiting paid off!
3 || Trust the LORD Jesus in labor and birth, relying on the Spirit, and not my own strength!
God pulled through in a tremendous way! I can't wait to share the full story, but we were able to have Ember in our home [living room!] just as we had hoped and prayed, and didn't have any complications that would merit a trip to the hospital :)
4 || Balance our March family visitors well with our new baby
I have to say, I really think that the mutual communication worked well on this one :) I was able to hand off a lot of responsibilities to family while I rested. I am amazed at their sacrifice and joy in serving!

I'll be continuing to work through my Goals for the New Year in the coming months as I plan my April goals. 
My April Goals::
1 || Fully engage in the staff connect group Freeway: A Not-So-Perfect-Guide to Freedom
Lord willing, will be able to prepare and participate in the Freeway group both this month and next. It is my prayer to win spiritual battles and build in trust and friendship with those in the group! We just had our first group meeting last night, and I am quite excited about this workbook and how God will work on me!

2 || Record bedtimes/wake times of Marshall and myself! 
I got this idea from one of our #friendswithgoals link-up ladies from Morning Motivated Mom and think that it will really help our schedule! This may be hard to keep up with, but I'm hopeful!

4 || Transition well back to work
I work part-time at home for a social media company and will be starting back (gradually at first) this month. I hope that I can keep everything in check and be a mommy and worker to the best of my abilities -- and reevaluate my schedule as necessary if I need extra help! I could use prayer in this department.

5 || Stay healthy
When serving others, it can be hard to remember to have good self-care! One of my goals this year was to build my immune system -- this month I want to keep up with my vitamin regimen and eat and drink water often! Goal--not to get sick/anemic! Also, little girl needs me to have healthy milk!

6 || Write an update [or two] on my garden!
We've been harvesting yummies from our garden lately! I want to compose a couple of posts about this to document and share our progress :)

Now, it's your turn! What are some goals that are important to you for the month of April?

My Monthly Goals LINK UP! - December - #friendswithgoals


It is another lovely month -- and SUCH a celebration, at that! November was a beautiful month of encouragement and hope! Let me share with you my successes and *ahem* "postponed projects"!

For those that are also doing monthly goals I'm hosting a link-up below! If you are interested in hosting or co-hosting, please email me at ifrog4fr {at} gmail.com!
Bloggers:: Do you have a monthly goals post that you would like to share? Add it to the link-up below! We will also do a goals check-up on the 15th of the month! You have all week to compile and add your post.
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 --
for more details on how purchasing this book will change more than just your life, watch this video:: The Best Yes - Thank You from Proverbs 31 Ministries on Vimeo.
