Last year I started breaking my goals down into 5 categories (marriage goals, parenting goals, self-care, homemaking, and blogging). This year I will continue to use those categories and will also be incorporating my goals with my One Word (present) for 2014.

Love them! You are ambitious, but it looks like it will be a fun year. I’m looking forward to when I start reading my childhood favorites out loud to my daughter. How old were your kids when you started reading chapter books to them? I’ve only done one really short chapter book so far.
My kids range from 11-2years old. They all listen but I don’t force the 2 year old to stay. She usually does though. The boys like to do Lego’s while I read and the girls color sometimes. Just some things that work for us. 🙂 I read Mrs. Piggle Wiggle when the twins were 4 and they loved it as did their older sister. They also really enjoyed the Paddington Bear stories and Little House in the Big Woods. We love books
