Five on Friday - January Goals

Today I’m recapping my December goals and listing my January goals.  As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals. 



December Goals

Relationships/Be the Light

Y  Go to dinner with girlfriends. – Made it to dinner with two of my friends from high school!

Y  Go on an overnight to trip with B to ATL.

N  Have another Brian and Lindsay Day of Fun Day Date – the flu hit our house the day we were supposed to go, and then by the time everyone recovered, the kids were out of school for the rest of the year so we couldn’t make this work.

N  Go to dinner with old coworkers. – this was also canceled because of the flu.

Y  Donate blood.

Y  Shop for families in need and turn in gifts to church.

Y  Put out treats for all of our delivery drivers every day in December.

                                                                              Personal/Health/Wellness/Fitness/Beauty

Y  Meditate, quiet time, and affirmations every day.

Y  Drink 64 oz. most days. 

N  Close all rings on my Apple Watch 16 days. – The flu hit our house in mid-December and although I didn’t test positive for it (or Covid) I was terribly fatigued for nearly two weeks, so this wasn’t possible.

Y  Get my annual ultrasound (follow-up to mammogram).

N  Start attending church in person again. – Flu and Omicron messed this up for us, and we won’t be going in person until Omicron settles down a bit.

Y  Read 1 fiction book. – I read In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren and I loved it!


Family/Fun

Y  Help put on the Reindeer Run at the kids’ school.

Y  Celebrate 14 years with B.

Y  Celebrate Maui’s 12th birthday.

Y  Go to the SEC Championship game!

N  Watch Olivia perform in the school Christmas program. – We missed it because everyone had the flu.

Y  Plan and have Olivia’s class Christmas party. – Although we missed her actual party because of the flu, I did plan the whole thing and Olivia was able to do the crafts when she got back to school, so we’re giving this a yes even though we didn’t attend the actual party.

Y  Celebrate my mom’s retirement.

Y  Dentist appointments for Jacob, Olivia, and me.

Y  RELAX, ENJOY, and SAVOR Christmas Break.

Y  Visit Santa Clause.

Y  Make gingerbread houses.

Y  Drive around and look at lights.

Y  Watch all the Christmas movies. – We watched Love Actually, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Vacation, The Holiday, Die Hard (yes, it is a Christmas movie), Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Home Alone (again), and The Santa Clause 1, 2, and 3!!

Y  Finish our new Christmas puzzle.

Y  Record a video every single day of the month and upload to my One Second a Day app.


Home/Organization/Planning

Y  Get Christmas cards addressed and mailed.

Y  Finish Christmas shopping.

Y  Finish wrapping gifts.

N  List fall clothes on Poshmark.

Y  Put away all Christmas decorations by January 1.

Y  Clean the entire house top to bottom by January 1.

Y  Tidy the entire house top to bottom by January 1. – We didn’t tidy the playroom or the kids’ bedrooms on purpose because I was waiting for January to clean them out first, but the rest of the house was tidied and cleaned up after Christmas.


Blog/Social Media

Y  Post 3-4 times most weeks.

Y  Photograph entire house decorated for Christmas.

Y  Share Christmas home tour.

Y  Recap the whole year.

  6. I think you did really well with your goals considering you had illness in the house! Looks like it was a fun month too. I loved my detachable cd/radio... in my tiny little Tercel.
