It’s the beginning of a new year. Time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the new year. These are my 20 goals for 2020.

My word for the year is care and I will show you how I’m incorporating that into my goals this year.
20 Goals For 2020
Personal
Goal 1. Lose 15 pounds. I over-indulged at Christmas again (sugar is my downfall!) and definitely feel the need to start eating healthier, whole foods.
Goal 2. Walk 1,000 miles. I love to walk and I thought I’d challenge myself to see if I can hit this goal in 2020. I will keep track with my FitBit.
Goal 3. Volunteer in my community. Caring for others is part of my mission for the year. Helping look after my community is part of that. This may mean I volunteer at the girls’ school, volunteer at a local charity or participate in a community clean-up.
Goal 4. Incorporate self-care into every day. This may be as simple as listening to music I enjoy, reading good books, starting (and keeping to) a gentle exercise routine including walking and yoga or running a hot bubble bath at the end of the day.
Goal 5. Practice kindness. Towards myself and others.
Family
Goal 1. Create 2019 memory/photo books for my girls.
Goal 2. Spend one-on-one time with the girls each week doing something they enjoy.
Goal 3. Schedule one date a quarter with my husband (outing) and weekly at-home dates.
Goal 4. Plan a vacation together.
Goal 5. Have a family date once a month. I would like us all to contribute ideas and then have fun together. We could play board games, see a movie, go swimming or attend a sports event together.
Homemaking
Goal 1. Declutter my basement. We have lots of storage boxes filled with clothes, Christmas decor, old photos, craft supplies. I would like to sort through everything and declutter.
Goal 2. Take photos for our household inventory (for insurance purposes and our records).
Goal 3. Organize our digital photos. We have years and years of photos to sort through. I have to delete fuzzy pictures and only keep the best ones in folders by month and year.
Goal 4. Keep to a regular housecleaning routine. My home deserves care and we deserve to have a peaceful, cozy home.
Goal 5. Update my recipes. I would like to sort through my recipes and keep the ones we enjoy in a binder, to make meal planning easier.
Blogging
Goal 1. Post on a regular basis.
Goal 2. Update to a new theme.
Goal 3. Leave 5 comments a week on other blogs.
Goal 4. Complete the blogging course I purchased a few years ago.
Goal 5. Build a community. I would love to build a community of women who are enthusiastic about homemaking and help inspire you to create a life full of the simple joys.
So there you have it. My 20 goals for 2020. I’ll be giving updates throughout the year.
