Goals - 2013

Welcome 2013!

This year there will be no resolutions here--only Goals that are attainable and flexible - as life is sometimes "interesting."

These goals will be divided by month and will be evaluated at the end of the month and adjusted to this crazy chaotic life we all lead.  I may not met them all- that is why there is room for adjustment!  lol

January:

Personal: Read one fiction book a month.  Kingdom's Dawn by Chuck Black
                 Read one non fiction book a month. 
                 Recommit to the Vintage Remedies Family Herbalist Course.!!!!!!!!!                

Health:    15 minutes a day on the bike.
                 Commit to more fermented foods in the family diet- encourage grown kids to try them too!

Home:     Deep clean the entryway and put trim up where the door was repaired.
                Deep clean Utility Room.
                Deep clean lower bathroom.

Pantry:    Inventory and organize pantry after the Christmas rush.
                Time permitting can some ground beef- we have power outages and sadly they are more frequent

Goats:     Inventory Health and First Aid supplies and order what is needed.
                Finish building stalls in the new Goat Shed.
