Goals For February

We spent a great deal of our time last month managing the weather.  We shoveled A LOT of snow.  There were frequent trips to the chicken coop to check on them and take them fresh water and bring in the frozen feeders to thaw.  At one point it got so cold we built a makeshift coop in the garage and moved them in there for several days.

In the midst of all of this my back gave out and I was down for a good two weeks and then limited in what I could to after that.  Even then I was determined to remain productive so I switched gears and had my youngest bring me my yarn and I got to work.  One afghan completed for the retirement house and a pillow to boot.

This is what I have planned for this month:

1.          Make or purchase a gift for someone

2.         Send a card or letter to someone - Valentines!

3.         Family Nite Out or Outing

4.         Be creative - sew or craft something

5.         Do some investment cooking

6.         Make Easter cards

7.         File my tax returns  already done!

8.         Take my children out for a thrifty date

9.         Create a new menu plan for March

10.       Try a new recipe

11.        Make a garden plan

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

13.        Complete a small home improvement project

14.       Complete a retirement house project

15.        Invite guests over for dessert, appetizers or dinner
