Well February and come and gone and we are finally into March. The first two months of the year always sort of drag, and the endless cloudy days do my mood no good. I can’t wait to spend some time out in the sun.
Now onto the recap of my February goals. I didn’t look at this goals as often as I wanted, but I do think I still did a pretty good job.
BLOG
~Do a at least two more YouTube Videos : I accomplished this! I recorded a video for my letter board post and another one for my bullet journal post. I still hate how I look and sound on video, but I am going to keep trying to improve, and the only way I can do that is by actually recording videos. Is there anything you would like to see me do a video of??
~ Use water color to create some sort of graphic for my blog: I have played around with some water color, but haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet.
~ Finish up Pinterest Ninja course: I totally finished the course! Since finishing it I have seen an increase in traffic from Pinterest on my blog. I hope that I can keep the trend going. 🙂 The past two weeks have been a little slower since I was focusing on getting things done for Annabelle’s party, but hopefully I can ramp it up again.
~ Go back an spruce up at least 4 old pins (particularly those with my original blog name on them): I did this, and boy am I glad I did!! One of the pins I revamped ( this Hand Print Craft) brought lots of traffic to my blog. Since this was more of a Valentine’s craft post, the traffic kinda of dropped off after Valenteine’s Day. Unfortunately the other pins I revamped didn’t quite take off like this one, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop trying.
~ Make sure I am pinning to all group boards: I recently joined a few more group boards on Pinterest, and I wanted to make sure that I was actually pinning to all of them.
~ Create a new logo/ header: Didn’t get to this.
~ Make a French Onion Soup Recipe: I did make a recipe, however it didn’t turn out so great, so it will not make its way onto the blog.
PERSONAL
~Drink 10 glasses of water a day: as much as I wish I could mark this off, I can’t. There were some days that I barely got in 4 glasses.
~ Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night: Another one I didn’t do quite so hot on. I did get more 6 hour days than last month
~ Eat healthy snacks: I did do much better about eating healthy snacks.
~ Schedule playdates: Yep, I was able to have a few friends over for play dates. It’s always so much fun to watch how everyone plays together.
~ Find a better Bible Study: although I’m doing better, I still haven’t found anything online that I am in love with. I think I will have to head to the Christian Bookstore to see what they have.
~ Start figuring out Annabelle’s Birthday: planned and executed! A recap post to come.
~ Sew all. the. things. I need to sew: I was able to finish everything I needed to sew for an Auction for Annabelle’s school, plus Annabelle’s Little Mermaid inspired dress. The dress took a little bit time since I am hoping to get it up on the blog, so took lots of pictures.
~ Put laundry away within a day of washing: I did much better and getting this done. The washing didn’t all get done on one day, but I made sure to put the clothes away I did wash asap.
Now onto March, which is going to be a light month, since it’s pretty busy.
