April Goals

(via)

April showers bring May flowers. May flowers bring... SUMMER! Okay, okay I'm jumping the gun. Clearly I need to embrace spring and live in the moment. Summer will be here in due time. So lets take a moment and see what my April goals are...

1. Clean and organize the guest closet. Since I didn't get this done last month it's time to check it off this month once and for all. 

2. Lose eight pounds this month. I lost five pounds last month so I would like to up my game and lose eight pounds this month. Summer is coming and I want to be bikini ready!

3. Do one craft this month. I'm in need of a spring wreath. I refuse to take my winter wreath down because I can't bare to have a naked door. Also, it was snowing yesterday. Michigan, get your act together. I also refuse to buy one. I haven't seen one cheaper than $80 and I just won't spend that. So I think I will make this one. I love tulips and this one doesn't look too hard or expensive.

4. Make one new recipe a week. It's funny. When I take a goal like this off I stop doing it. I've been making a lot of the same things or just not cooking at all. It's time to get inspired again and I think making one new recipe a week is manageable. I'm pumped to get my groove back! I'm getting some inspiration here.

5. Read 3 books this month. I'm rereading Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin because I love her and I kind of forgot how this one ends. I hope to take a much needed trip to the library soon though to stock up on new, fun books. I need more Liane Moriarty in my life!

6. Plan something fun each weekend. I have noticed that if G and I don't make any plans on a weekend we tend to be hermits and never leave the house. I'm a firm believer in having one day of no plans to relax and unwind. But I need to start planning a few fun things so we don't forget to get out and LIVE. Try new things. Explore. Have fun together.

7. Check out a few new churches. We realized last month that we need to start looking for a new church which is the first step. And it's nothing against our current church. It's just hard to get motivated to drive 20 minutes to a campus and watch our pastor on a screen when we could stream it on our computer. Now we need to actually take the plunge and try a few churches. I have two I want to try this month. I'm getting excited about it!

8. Get my hair did. I am still not 100% sure if I'll do red highlights or black but my appointment is still a ways away so I have some time. Your opinions are welcome! :) I'm just looking forward to a change!

What are your goals this month?
