I decided to discontinue doing goals on my blog here.

I think this is the most behind I’ve ever been on posting a goals post before! We took a trip as a family to Michigan and took a stop in Pittsburgh. We’re now back and into our routine again. Devin has a few more days of parental leave so we’ll be getting some things done around the house and spending some time together. I’m getting more sleep now which is fabulous. I’ve been debating things like: do I want to teach a night or two a week or is worth the time away from each other as a family? We’ll see.

A review on my quarter 2 goals

Make family goals and stick to them

~~Prioritize Devin doing something for himself for 2 hours every weekend~~
~~Take Evelyn to a library group at least once a week~~
E goes to a different play group almost everyday Monday through Friday. This area is really awesome for SAHM + baby activities. I really love getting to know the other mamas here, feel very supported, and get lots of great tips!
Make a spread sheet for all of the items we received for Evelyn for thank you cards
Finish writing thank you cards
Bah. I’m going to get these cards written before baby turns 1!

Prioritize my self-care

Read 4 books
I am listening to one audio book and reading two others currently. I’ve read two this quarter.
~~Schedule something social weekly~~
I’m out of the house Monday through Friday. There are so many things to do here with mom groups that I had to start saying one thing a day. That is a great feeling!
Go to the gym 6 days a week
This was overly ambitious. I’ve settled into about 3 days a week which is much more doable. I’ve become really into running pool labs.

Be a better homemaker

~~Meal plan with Devin every weekend~~
We’ve been decent at that. We’ve gotten into staples we kind of eat every week. We’re starting to need more variety though.
Meal prep meals every weekend
~~Buy a rug for our living room~~
Bought it and love it!
~~Find better storage for under our living room bench~~
I just ended up throwing stuff away or organizing things in our coat closet. There is now a lot less visual clutter. We’ll eventually go through our storage room, but for the time being, we’re surviving infanthood haha.

Create more content

Publish one blog post a week
I started out doing really well, but then felt kind of burned out. We’re on a good nap schedule now with baby though and I wrote about what I plan on doing now that I’m sleeping like a human here.
Spend two hours a week updating SEO or pinterest
Nope, but I did change the font size so I have more ad space. I’m going to be adding more affiliate links to some of my posts.
~~Keep instagram updated with my books read~~
Yes!

Make DC home

Go to Madame Tussauds in DC
~~Have Easter with the M family~~
You can see E’s easter dress here!
~~Do something with the S family~~
