My “One Word” for 2014 is present! Therefore, each Monday I list my intentional, present goals for the week. My goals are broke down into relationship, homemaking, self-care, and blogging. I’d love for you to leave a comment and let me know what your goals are for this week as well!
I had another pretty successful week of accomplishing my goals! If every week went like that I’d be so excited, but life happens and it doesn’t always work that way! I’ve noticed that the more aware I am of my goals, the more direction I have in my life and eliminate some of the regular distractions that have always made me a procrastinator in the past! This is why I included a summer goal list printable today!
Last Week’s Goals:
Intentional Relationships (Marriage/Parenting/Mentoring/Friendships):
1. Celebrate Jason’s birthday and our anniversary
2. Have weekly date night with Jason & write love note
3. Complete 3 literacy activities with the kids & 2 math activities
4. Help oldest daughter with her 4-H speech- districts are this weekend
5. 20 minutes of technology free time after school every day this week (Last time you will see this one for the school year- it’s became pretty much a habit! Whoo Hoo!)
Intentional Homemaking:
6. Put all laundry away
7. List 5 things on Facebook
8. Deep clean kitchen
9. Hang 2 new frames for my Weekly Goals & Meal Plan
Intentional Self-Care:
10. Drink at least 24 ounces of water each day (Last week you will see this one too, I’m doing much better on this goal than I had been before!)

What all are you doing to market your blog? I am going to be staying home with our little one soon and am hoping to do a little more with my blog to be able to make some income.

Right now I’m reading every ebook on marketing the blog I can find. I stay home as well and honestly, just want to make enough to pay for the blog. I’m trying to stay focused on writing good content and not become a walking advertisement because I can’t stand that on other blogs 🙂
