2016 is a very exciting year for our family. Not because of anything specific but because we choose for it to be. It's time to become better planners & make more lasting memories for our kids. I believe by writing down our goals for the year it holds us accountable & drives us to obtain them. Below are our family's goals for the year:
- Plan 3 camping trips (with our new camper) including 1 trip to a new destination.
- Put more money into our emergency savings. (Who doesn't want to do this, right??)
- Eliminate as much debt as possible.(I'm excited to report that as of yesterday we've knocked out $3,300 worth of debt in 13 days!)
- Attend church more often. (I promised myself last year that I would start going to church more often & I did. Now I want to up it even more.)
- Strive to become a better meal planner.
- Sign the kids up for more extra curricular activities.
- Stick to our monthly budget more consistently.
- Learn the ins & outs of canning since we're planting our 1st garden. (I see a lot of quality time with my mother-in-law in my future.)
- Modify our chicken coop, extend the run, & add to our flock.
- Start saving for our Disney 2017 trip.
- Plan a mini vacation for Brian & I to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.
- Build a fire pit & picnic area to enjoy the beautiful weather with our family & friends.
- Upstairs bathroom renovation.
- Turn our storage area in the basement into my canning & food storage room. (I'm stoked about this one!!)
We have set some pretty exciting goals for ourselves this year. I can't wait to start crossing these off of the list & will update on them as the year goes on. What do you have planned for 2016?
