    HI Debbie! I love reading other people’s goals. Here are my goals if you’re interested: http://settingmyintention.com/december-monthly-goals/ We also try and have 1:1 dates with our 3 sons. My motto with the goals is – progress, not perfection. Life happens, and our days do not look the same on a daily basis, but we can strive to do the things that feed us and keep us sane!

    I’m a list maker and a mess maker in my home office. I am planning a whole new structure for my blog and shops. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop xo

    Great goals, Debbie! I’m totally with Angela on this one, it’s all about progress not perfection! I would be super discouraged if I always expected perfection, but realizing that I am doing better than before really helps! Keep up the good work!

    This is a great list of goals. I have bought one of these date books for next year, hopefully it will have me reaching more goals! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!

    One of my goals for this month is definitely planning blog stuff for January, too. I’m hoping that in 2016 I’ll be much more intentional about planning ahead.

    Thanks for linking up with The Alder Collective! Your post has been pinned to our group board. We’re taking a break for a couple weeks, but we hope you’ll come back to link up with us on January 5!
