Goals For November

October was super busy for us and as a result I didn't get near as many things crossed off the list as I had hoped.  I did get the last of the spring cleaning done so that was a huge accomplishment and it made me very happy.

This is what I have planned for this month:

1.         Finish the last of my Christmas gift shopping

2.         Send a card or letter to someone

3.         Family Nite Out or Outing

4.         Be creative - sew or craft something

5.         Do some investment cooking

6.         Finish my Christmas shopping

7.         Wrap any new gifts as I finish them

8.         Complete and print out our annual Christmas letter

9.         Create a new menu plan for December  Already done ahead of schedule!

10.       Put away the Halloween decorations

11.        Make my youngest daughter's orchestra dress

12.       Enjoy a Family Movie Nite or Family Game Nite!

13.       Buy Christmas postage stamps

14.       Complete a retirement house project

15.       Invite guests over for dessert, appetizers or dinner

This is how I did last month:

1.         Bake some bread for a friend of mine

2.         Send a card or letter to someone

3.         Family Nite Out or Outing  Old Idaho Penitentiary, big sister's marching band competition, great band concert at the high school

4.         Be creative - sew or craft something

5.         Do some investment cooking  Apple butter, ham broth

6.         Complete a small home improvement project

7.         Work on our annual Christmas letter

8.         Take my oldest on a Mommy/Daughter date  I got them both again this month!

9.         Create a new menu plan for November  I was on a roll last month and completed this early

10.       Wrap any new gifts as I finish them

11.        Come up with a list of goodies to make and share at the holidays

12.       Enjoy a Family Movie Nite or Family Game Nite!

13.       Purchase or make a Christmas gift

14.       Complete a retirement house project

15.       Invite guests over for dessert, appetizers or dinner  We just flat did not have the space in our schedule this month

16.       Finish birthday gifts for the girls 

We shall see how well I do this month.  With marching band wrapping up after the first week in November and the girls off from school the entire week of Thanksgiving that should take some of the pressure off of me.  I hope.
