We are now four months into 2013.
How is that possible?
My baby girl will be 8 months old on the 10th.
That means I have only 4 months to plan her birthday.
I know I’ve said it time and time again, but where is the freeze button.
I think we should all have one that we can use once a month.
{1} Create a birthday inspiration board for AG’s 1st birthday. I pinned lots of things last month. Now, I need to figure out exact colors and start making lists. I also want to create a birthday planning printable. I’ve found a few online but they’re not exactly what I’m looking for.
{2} Start taking AG to Gymboree. I’ve been waiting for her to crawl to take her, now it’s time. Now, I have to decided between the music class or play class.
{3} Do a blog giveaway with a few of my favorite things. I know Starbucks will be on that list, maybe some monogrammed towels….not sure what else.
{4}Get back to budgeting. This month we’ve been horrible thanks to our tax return. I’ve been making multiple trips to the grocery store which leads to unnecessary purchases. Then all my favorite stores are having 40%-50% off, which was too hard to pass up!
{5} Take the early childhood classes needed for the job I start in August. There are three online courses I need to take and tests that follow. I hope they aren’t too hard!
{6} Get our carpets cleaned and patio pressure washed. We do this once a year. Now that the baby is crawling and the weather is warming up, it that time.
{7} Take AG to the zoo or aquarium. Now that she’s sitting in her stroller without the car sear attachment, she could go to either of these places and see what’s going on around her.
{8} Start 30 random acts of kindness for my 30th birthday. I did this for my 28th birthday and am looking forward to doing it again for my 30th.
Now, lets take a look back at my March goals:
{1} Update AG’s baby book. Accomplished. I added my baby shower invitations.
Updated important dates and memories are filled in. It’s not completely done, but it is no longer a blank book.
{2} No Starbucks. Failed. Failed. Failed. Goodness gracious, what magical potion is in that darn cup that makes it so irresistible? I did buy the cinnamon dolce syrup to make my own at home. It’s not as good as the real thing but I haven’t been to Starbuck’s since I bought it.
{3} Birthday Party prep. Accomplished. I am planning a “cute as a button” party for AG. I also finished everything I needed to do for my friends for their parties within the next few weeks.
{4} Participate in our neighborhood garage sale. Accomplished. Even though the garage sale isn’t until Saturday, we’re getting ready. I’m setting things up in our garage and pricing a few items a day. My mom will be here Thursday- Saturday to help with the final touches.
{5}Make AG’s 3-6 month book. Accomplished. It should arrive within the next few days. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have done it if it weren’t for this goal.
{6} Start uploading things to my Teachers Pay Teachers account. Failed. I am going to put this one on the back burner. I can’t do it all. Right now, my business is growing and I am trying to balance that with the rest of life as best I can. When I get back into the classroom in August, hopefully I will be able to work on this goal.
{7} Make AG her Easter dress. Accomplished. I wanted to make two, but only ended up making one. You can see her in it here.
{8} Plan our Easter menu and do all preparations to host our family for the holiday. Accomplished. We had a wonderful dinner with our family.
Great goals! I need a no Starbucks goal…but I already know I'd fail.
GREAT JOB GIRLIE!!!!
YOu did really well in March and I'm sure you'll rock out in April too!
LOVE this! Can't wait to see what 30 you do this year!
I would have totally failed the Starbucks goal too. Why is it so hard to stop going?!?! I just can't say no!
You seriously are phenomenal. Every month you post these I am just in awe! You do it all Mama! 🙂
What a great list! I can't wait to go to the zoo with my baby! HAHA
Great list! What job are you starting??
Way to go on your March goals! I'm in first birthday planning mode too and it's so much fun!
