October/November Goals

I'm loving documenting my goals each month because it makes me feel  much more accountable to finish (or at least start) them each month!


October Goals

Stick to cleaning schedule - Success!  I'm happy to report that I have been sticking to my schedule and I'm a lot happier.  The house feels so much better!

Decorating playroom: 25% done - I got a Playroom Rules picture and the kids painted some awesome pictures that need to be hung up.

Decorate living room:  25% done - I bought an area rug that I LOVE and that's about it.  I think I need to go on Pinterest for a few ideas, I kind of feel stumped on what to do next.  My decorating style is very minimalist and clean, so I don't know where to go, I think I kind of like it the way it is now.

Print family pictures and get our gallery wall finished: 50% finished - the family pictures are FINALLY printed!!!  I'm so proud of myself, haha.  Now I need to buy some frames (hopefully this week) and get the gallery wall finished.

Find artwork for kids' rooms:  70% done - I found tons of cute stuff for E at Hobby Lobby, but not for J.  He's in a toddler bed so I feel like I'm limited to his decor.  There are no cool bed sets for toddler beds, and I just feel like we're in this "in between" stage for his room.  I may wait until he's a little older and make it a big boy room then.  With that being said, I need to get hubby to hang E's stuff on her wall.

Curtains bought AND hung in dining room:  This wasn't on the list, but it's something that I have wanted to do for a long time.  I finally found the perfect curtains and I'm loving how they look.

 

November Goals:

Since I went on vacation and 11 days of November are now over, I'm not going crazy with the goals - I'm just going to focus on finishing the above goals and attempt to...
  • Organize garage a bit
  • Go through my clothes and kid's clothes to purge what we're not using/doesn't fit
  • Buy our new bedroom set - I'm so excited about this one, we'll finally have a king sized bed and white furniture that I've been wanting for a long time.

I'm excited to get all of these goals done, and am loving these monthly goals - it's like a little challenge for me.

Happy Tuesday!

You're so good about doing lists and finishing them! I've started jotting stuff down in my iphone because it's like as fast as the thought pops in my head it pops out and then I've forgotten what I've wanted to do!

I feel you on the playroom/living room. I have gotten more done for the playroom, but we are kind of at a stand still right now until we get the gate up and I've still got to finish decorations. Maybe we both will get them done this month ;)
