June Goals...

Last month... my May goals were set pretty high... I would say most of them have been successfully completed... but the one that hasn't has been more of a fail than an even halfway met goal.  I had planned on trying to get into the gym 3x a week... yeah well today was the FIRST time all month that I actually made it to the gym.  I have had good intentions and brought clothes several times to change, but I was either too exhausted, stayed too late, or had an errand to run.  Urg.

So now that May is basically gone and June is on the horizon... I am linking up again with I {Heart} Recess for her June Goals! :) I've got to be honest I love this idea...even more so because I can use it as a reflection piece once the month is over!!

Personal: My guest room basically ends up being my catch all room.   So it is in need of some major organizing... This will also require getting rid of A LOT of things... I think I will end up calling in a friend to aid me in the process of ridding the junk!

Family: I am so excited to spend my summer with B.  One of her very favorite things, EVER, is going to the park.  So my goal is to take her a MINIMUM of 3 times a week!  Should be easy peasy!

Health:  Sam, one of my favorite people ever who I can't wait to share exciting news about probably..... in a post tomorrow.... has convinced me to work out with a trainer 2 mornings a week.  I can't wait! :)

School:  I am convinced that I will not be rushing last minute like I always do to get things ready for BTS.  My HOPE is to be done with BTS centers by the end of the month!

Blog:  I had a S.L.O.W. start to joining this bloggy world.  I have to say though, now that I've made time, learned how to manage my posting, and started to make some great friends... I LOVE blogging, it's an amazing outlet and I love sharing ideas almost as much as I love reading about everyone elses! So my goal this month is to reach 100 followers!

Read: I started Safe Haven too long ago.... I'm ready to finish it so I can FINALLY watch the movie!! :)

Head over to I {Heart} Recess to do your June Goals! :)

May Goals, Currently, Mother's Day Preview, Oh my!

So, it is officially May.  It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is upon us.  At this point of the year, we are strictly is survival mode. 

I am doing 2 linkys tonight & HAVE TO share the progress of my kiddos Mother's Day books!! L.O.V.E.

First, I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade!

I found another great linky over at I {heart} Recess that involves making monthly goals!  So here's to May!

Ok, so now I MUST share some of the funness going on with our Mother's Day books.   In the past I have not been quite as prepared at this point. I would usually just be scrounging around to find my copies for the Mother's Day book.  However this year I have had them copied for a week and the covers and first 4 pages of the books are DONE!!  The covers have even already been laminated!  I changed my original vision for the cover this year about 28 million times before I was satisfied!

 This one probably is one of my favorites solely because of her presh pose.  I don't know if you can tell or not, but she is totally pointing toward YOU, the reader, who in this case will be her sweet mom!! :)

This weekend, I bought a chalkboard at Hobby Lobby (reg.7.99 plus 40% off coupon = cheap!) and painted it the trim yellow!  So Monday I chalked it up & I took the kids pics!  They were able to choose whatever they wanted to be on the chalk board.  I ended up with 4 different signs, "I love you," "you're a supermom," "my mom's a rockstar," and "world's best mom!"  I printed the pics and they began the actual book yesterday.  MOST of the kids have completed 4 of the 10-12 pages of their book! Here are some of my favorite pages so far! :)

 I mean seriously, how much funnier can it get!! I laughed out loud multiple times in regards to this kiddos writing!! I hope B never writes that my best cooking has to do with the microwave, especially since I use the microwave sparingly!

 Love-Bug, I don't know who told you cleaning was fun, but they lied!  haha

 

These two pages were from the same little miss, but I couldn't pick one over the other to share.  She is such a hard worker and overall one of the SWEETEST kids I've ever had the privilege of having as a student!! 

If you knew this kid, you would totally laugh extra hard because of his personality!  Love it!

You can grab this Mother's Day book in my TPT store by clicking below! :) 

Wishing you a quick Thursday & Friday!! :)
