February Update

I still have little time to write and so I am reserving a big blog post about financial goals for a later time.  However, I wanted to make a few goals for February to keep myself on track and productive.

I decided for 2014 I want to read more/better/worthwhile books so I'm making that part of my goal-setting.

Week 1 Goals:
Christmas completely away and stashed appropriately in garage
Read a marriage book - Every Woman's Marriage by Shannon & Greg Ethridge

Week 2 Goals:
File all business taxes & paperwork
Read a financial or homeschool book - Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey (review)

Week 3 Goals:
File personal taxes
Read a parenting book - Mom After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George

Week 4 Goals:
Family Room organized/purged/rearranged
Read a spiritual book - 31 Days of Prayer by Ruth Myers   (reading all month)

I also want to get in the habit of making my thankful list again.  Just off the top of my head, here's a list of January gifts: My renewed friendship with an old friend - I am loving having her near again, my new, very part-time job in the church kitchen, a supportive and loving children's ministry at our church, a big bill to pay and a stock award within a day of each other and within one share price of each other, a great anniversary trip with my husband, the gift of family to care for our kids, and a pretty healthy January as far as germs and colds go.
