How is it that this month is already over? There are now 11 months left in 2012. Craziness. It's that time to review my goals from the past month. I didn't do too bad but I'm not completely satisfied with my accomplishments. You'll probably look at it and think I didn't do too bad. I may not have done too bad with this list, but I didn't get through many of my daily or weekly to do lists. Therefore, I didn't accomplish anywhere near as much as I was hoping to. Now, It's time for me to chalk this month up and start thinking about what I ... read more

Book Review: The Choice
One of my goals for the year is to read one book a month in 2012. I started out the year of reading will one of my favorite authors, Nicholas Sparks. The book I decided on was The Choice. It was the first book I read on my Ipad, which I was unsure about. I thought I would miss flipping through pages of a book, but I didn't. I've since bought a few more books and found out how to check them out from the library. Now, onto the book... Here's the book description from Amazon: Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a ... read more

January Goals
Source: theprudentpantryblog.blogspot.com via jacqueline365 on Pinterest Yes, this is the third or fourth goal post in the past week. I promise this will be the last...until the end of the month. But, one of my new year's goals was to keep up with my monthly goals. I actually took some time to look back last night over all of my monthly goals from last year. There is so much I did that I would have never done, nonetheless even thought of, if it weren't for posting goals. That is one (of the many) things I love about blogging. With that said, I will ... read more
