Five-A-Month Goals

Jess over at Making Home, posted recently about her new goal-setting tactic: setting five tangible goals monthly, rather than making broad New Year resolutions.  I like it!  Five tangible goals seems like something I can (maybe) do!

My goals for January are:

1) Drink at least 3L of water a day... that may seem excessive to you, but it's hot here and I am still breastfeeding Micah.  And I don't drink any other liquids, except tea and coffee, which only serve to dehydrate.

2) Read my Bible and spend time in prayer more faithfully.  Ideally every day, but I would rather miss a day than make it a legalistic thing to check off my to-do list.

3) Come up with at least one new creative and healthy snack for Micah.

4) Move into our new house and find all the last few things we need (pots & pans, utensils, hand towels, clothes pins, plastic tubs for laundry...).

5) Go to bed earlier!  Make the most of the hours that Micah sleeps by going to bed no later than 10pm, but preferably by 9:30.

At the end of January I'll post again, letting y'all know how I did with achieving my goals.  If you want to join in the Five-A-Month Goal setting, please do, and leave a link over on Jess' post (and tell me here, in the comments too!).
