March Goals

Hey Peachies! It's the beginning of the month and that means it's time to talk goals. As in, all the ones I didn't accomplish because a 15 pound ball of fluff and love came into our lives on February 3rd. If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat or if you've read my blog before, you know who I'm talking about. If not, you can catch up Meet Willow

Let's talk Goals.
February Goals

1. Schedule next month's goals post at the end of this month so they go live on March 1.
This was a fail since it's now March 3rd and this is just going live.

2. Find a family practitioner and possibly a dermatologist.
Again. Fail.

3. Make an eye appt for my son.
Big fat fail!

4. Make a batch of goodies for family & friends. Just because.
Well, I made my hubby banana pudding. Does that count?

5. Have the family over at least once for dinner.
This we did! We had my parents come over and grilled out last weekend!

6. Wash all the windows (inside and out) downstairs.
I wonder what I was thinking when I made this goal?

7. Write at least 3 blog posts per week.
Nope. I blame Willow. She's basically a furry toddler.

8. Finish reading Yes Please.
Nope.

9. Yoga and Cize 5 days a week.
I'm really funny with these goals!

10. Go walking when it's not flooding (today is not a good day to start this goal.)
Well, yeah because we got a puppy who has to be walked multiple times a day!

11. Spend Sunday ironing A's work clothes and making Dylan lunches for school.
I did this once.

12. Eat out less.
Mission accomplished.

13. Don't spend $ on un-necessary things (make-up, nail polish.)
This one was so so. I didn't spend AS much!

14. Use the new social media icons I bought for my blog.
Nope, Haven't had time for my poor neglected blog.

15. Make a button for my blog.
See above.

16. Figure out how to add Disqus to my blog.
Again. See #14.

17. Order our Hawaiian Honeymoon memory book from Shutterfly.
Sadly, no.

18. Make at least 6 new pieces of jewelry to sell.
Nope. The puppy tends to eat beads so there's been no reason to even get them out with her around.

I'm going to be forgiving of myself here since we got Willow. When I wrote these goals for February out I had no idea we'd be getting a puppy.
Trust me when I say she came in like a wrecking ball and had syphoned all the energy out of me like a furry midget. I've got nothing right now friends. So March's Goals are a continuation of February's, but toned down a bit. And if I fail this month, too then Oh, Well! I'll get back on the Crazy Train and head out of Strugglesville as soon as this puppy grows up.

March Goals

Personal

-Make my son an eye doctor appt.

-Finish reading Yes Please.

-Spend Sundays ironing my hubby's work clothes and make D lunch for the week.

-Make at least one new recipe a week.

-Spend less money on un-necessary things.

March National Holidays

Hi Peachies! Welcome March. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how it's March first already. I'm pretty sure I blinked and February was done. We had a busy month though. We celebrated My Mother in Law, Mine, My Grandma, and my Hubby's birthdays and we welcomed our sweet Mastiff/German Shepard puppy Willow into our family.

Day One & Day 28

And here we are in March already. I had great aspirations for February but since we got Willow none of it happened. Yeah, i'm blaming it on the puppy. February's goals were pretty much thrown out the window and so was blogging. Having a 12 week old puppy is a lot like having a two year old toddler. Most days I feel like I've been hit by a 20 pound tornado at the end of the day. I'm surviving off coffee and well, lots of caffeine.

For the first time in a long time I sat down and actually accomplished something i've been wanting to do for a while. (Okay, so the internet went down.) But I used that time to start to fill out my planner for this month's blog posts and other important dates (Basically just Willow's vet appointment.) In doing so I realized that today is a fun filled one. It's the beginning of the month which means it's time to
look at March's National Holidays.

I'm still all for what I said about holidays in February's National Holidays post.

Let's talk about what National Holidays there are this month and how those National Holidays should mean an extra day of sleeping in and spending the rest of the day in yoga pants binge watching Netflix and coloring in our adult coloring books. Sounds like a plan? Yes, please?!?

When I think of National Holidays I think of just that, sleeping in and spending the rest of the day being a bum. In the summer that means being a bum at my parent's pool. The rest of the year it means being a bum in my yoga pants binge watching Netflix and all that. National holidays usually involve really good food, friends and family, and wine/beer/margaritas. Regardless of what National Holidays look like to you, I think we can all use a little more celebrating in our lives everyday. So here is a list of my favorite National Holidays in March.
