Needless to say I jumped off the blogging train for awhile! Instead of boring y'all with tales of the frozen tundra known as Michigan, we'll just jump right in with something new. Shay is one of my favorite bloggers. She's funny, creative, and not to mention gorgeous! One of my favorite posts that she writes is her Monthly Goals. She writes goals about her home, photography business, fitness, marriage, etc. Since moving up north I have found myself to be a little unfocused on my goals so I have decided to jump on Shay's bandwagon and start setting monthly goals for myself. And since I seem to struggle with regular posts on this here blog, why not share them with you?
March Goals
Work out 5X a week
Re-focus my budget using the cash envelop system
Write at least 5 blog posts
Contact someone about a blog design
Keep the house clean by cleaning a little each day
