January Goals
Since it’s the 13th, I thought I would check in and see how I’m doing with my January Goals. It seems unreal to me that the month is almost half over already. Although, that’s a good thing since it’s absolutely freezing here. I think we hit a high of 5 degrees yesterday. Brrrr.
So let’s first take a look at what my January goals were.
1. Get back into a routine
2. Start getting items together for the Walker and Willis Online Auction
3. Have a date night
4. Seriously try to make ANYTHING from Pinterest
5. Get a new planner for the year and get organized
6. Cross off at least one thing from my 30 things before the end of my 30’s list
We have slowly, but surely gotten back into a routine. We had a bit of a rough start, which you can read about HERE, but it’s gotten better. We haven’t missed the bus yet!!!!
I have also updated my Walker and Willis Online Auction page, which you can check out HERE. I only have a couple items so far, but I think we’re going to get a lot more…at least I’m hopeful. If you, or anyone you know, would like to donate, please email me at shanneva@yahoo.com
We also had a date night. Hooray! It was my husband’s work’s Christmas Party. Since he is in real estate, they always wait until after the holidays for the party. It was at a really nice country club, the food was delicious, and we all had a fun time.
And seriously…check out that “mushroom” in the middle. How cute is that?!?! It’s a potato!!!
I also do have a planner, yet I haven’t managed to open it yet. Ugh. No Pinterest experiments, but I have crossed a few things off my 30 before the END of my 30’s list. I’m going to do a separate post about this when I have a chance.
Just a little side note about that list…I’m not turning 30. My 30’s are ENDING. I’m super flattered that some of you think I am 29, really I am, but that is not the case.
Did you make goals this month? How are you doing so far?
You have a great start to the month! Let me know what Pinterest recipe you decide to use.
Thank you. I will!
I still haven’t made any goals for this year — I’m so behind!! I do have things in mind, but I haven’t written them down (which is a huge part of accountability for me!). Good luck with yours – I can’t wait to hear how it goes!
Thank you!
I also am trying to get a date night in this month.. we had one scheduled but then our sitter had a last minute thing come up. We rescheduled.. so fingers crossed! 😉
Date night, me and hubby need to do that soon! I also need a new planner, I’m behind on that. I hope you get to make a fun Pinterest project soon!
I’m loving this post! Its such a great idea to review your goals, as this will help you better achieve them. Happy birthday too, when it comes!
Sounds like you’ve done a lot in the beginning of 2016! I’m still struggling to get back into the routine, but I at least got a decent amount of sleep last night!
You’re so funny. Love that little potato mushroom, adorbs. Looks like you are doing great with your goals. You have half a month yet to nail them all! Good luck! 🙂
🙂 Thanks Natasha!
Okay, now I really want to have a date night. We have so many unused gift cards, too! Except somehow I doubt we’ll get a mushroom potato at our dinner! lol
🙂 Hee hee
Great looks like your making progress on your goals! Wish we went on date nights!
Congrats on getting some of your goals accomplished already this month! I can not live without my planner. Without it I would be completely lost. It also helps me keep all my blogging ideas in check. That mushroom is adorable made out of the potato. Can’t wait to see what else you accomplish this month!
Isn’t it the cutest thing? Thanks Mistle!
Love that you two got a date night in. It is so important to keep that going! 🙂
this is so smart to write monthly goals – we need a date night this month too – not sure it will happen – but February for sure!
Love your list. But I think if you try to do everything on Pinterest you will need a bigger planner. Great to have big goals that seem impossible. That is the way we succeed.
I love that you have a mid month check in for your goals. That is the perfect way to keep on track with you goals! Love that!
Date nights are SOOOO important! We are having one this weekend and I am pumped!
I like how you do monthly goals! We have date night scheduled for Saturday and I’m plugging away with my planner. Sort of. Kind of. HA!
Yay for date nights! That potato mushroom was so cute!
You’re doing great so far, Shann! I’m there with you on the routine! We’re starting to get back into the swing of a routine but I’m still having my struggle with waking up early.
Love your goals this month and congrats on getting some already checked off! I have a pocket planner since those larger fancy ones I would buy every year never got used. I never trust my phone and have to write everything down. So glad I have one! Love have a 30 things before 30 list! I might do a 50 things before 50 one so I have more time lol.
I love when you share your goals Shann! I’m trying to get back into my routine too…post holiday slump, hehe. Glad you’re making time for date night…that’s very important!
Thanks for sharing. Happy Wednesday!

The freezing cold weather doesn’t help very much! I know you’ll get back into your routine soon 🙂 Thanks Cori!
I only made one goal and that was to get and stay motivated. So far so good. Glad you are tackling your goals. Love that mushroom potato!!
Motivation is a great goal. And I’m still thinking about how cute that potato was! 🙂
Great job on getting through so many goals so far. I totally get you on the routine… We were almost late taking my daughter to preschool today even though we were awake TWO HOURS earlier than normal. Looks like a great date night, and OMG, the Potato-shroom is super cute. Great Job Mama, Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
1-5 are on my list right now too. I need a date night and we are just getting our routine re-established. It’s so nice…
Hey Shann,
Glad you got your date night. I think that is so important when you have kids. I am just back from a couple of weeks of taking it easy and reading trashy books. Tomorrow I start back with my regular routine. And I am ready and looking forward to my new challenges. A new year always does that to me. Loved the post. Thank you.
Rachel.
Thanks Rachel!
I made a bunch of goals, almost all about getting organized and getting into a routine. I am doing okay, you seem to be rocking it considering you have half the month left! Love the list idea of the 30 before ending 30. Good luck and keep going!
Thank you!
I made a pinterest recipe last night… inside out s’mores brownies! 🙂
Yum! Those sound delicious!
Awww such cute goals for the month and you seem to have an amazing start to 2016, you go girl! I am still waiting for my hubby’s office holiday party, next week, can you believe 😉

At least it’s something to look forward to?
I sat down last night and looked at my goals and where we are with them and while I have progress yet to make, it feels so good to see a list and know we are accomplishing things daily.
These are all great goals! Glad you were able to get a date night in! They are so important! Let me know how the Pinterest experiment goes – everytime I try to make something from there, I fail so miserably!
