Monthly Goals: March 2014

 A new month of exciting possibilities. Here we go! :)

Note: I wanted SO BADLY to use a picture of daffodils for March, but there are absolutely none to be seen, still buried under several feet of snow. Maybe I will be able to find some for the Report Card.

Bust the Clutter: Everywhere!
I have a dream of an organized house, where everything is in it’s rightful place. A home of peace and calm, comfort and coziness. A haven for William to return to and rest after a long day of work without any busy and fretful piles of clutter to look at. This is rather a broad, cumbersome goal, but it’s something I really need to get to work on with all diligence and creativity. Besides, I have a bit of the spring cleaning bug in my blood, and maybe it will help me think of spring even when everything is still buried under snow and ice.

Purge Closet
I started on this goal last month and made good progress but it needs a tad more work.

Start Seeds in Mini Greenhouse
My Mom gave me a little miniature indoor greenhouse which I‘d like to set up this month so I can start a few seedlings for my herb and vegetable garden this year. There hasn’t been much sun or warmth so it’s hard to remember that I need to start preparing, but this would be a good month to begin.

Balance & Maintain Checkbook
Balancing the checkbook is something that’s easy to procrastinate on, but because of the farm we have two checkbooks to keep track of and it’s even more crucial to keep on top of them. I need to balance them both for this year and make sure I ask for Will’s receipts and enter them either daily or weekly. I’d also like to make a filing system for receipts and a spreadsheet to keep track of farm expenses.

Have a Birthday
To celebrate, I thought I’d throw in a fun goal this month. This one shouldn’t be too difficult to manage. :)

Recurring Resolutions

Blog 1-2 Times Per Week: Off to a good start….

Read the Bible Daily: Stay diligent with the daily readings with Will, as well as my individual reading and marking time.

Journal 2-3 times: If I journal even more than once this month, it will be an improvement.

Read Four Books: One of my favorite goals. :)

Finish Writing Thank-You Notes: Last month to finish them before our first anniversary. No pressure....
