Well look who’s back! I’ve taken a break from blogging, with good reason, and I’m now back and ready to roll again. And just in time for the summer.
The reason I’ve taken a break from blogging is simply because I have 2 feisty little kiddos. And what I didn’t realise about going from 1 child to 2 children is just how bloody hard work it would be!
Things were pretty easy going at the start, but then the baby learnt to walk… and now he’s into everything. Honestly, I can’t take my eyes of him for a second. And if I do then he’s miraculously turned the house upside down and run off before I can even blink, let alone say ‘come back here’.
But with a bedtime routine (almost) established, I’m starting to have a little bit of time to myself again in the evenings. And rather than sit on the sofa and play games on my phone, I thought I should make use of my time and start writing again.
So what better way to start off the return of ABC Family than with a monthly goals post.
As my last post was a year ago, I cant even remember what my previous goals were, so I’m not even going to go there. Instead, I will be starting afresh with some shiny new goals.
I have some rather interesting ones for June , which I hope are ones that you can add to your goals list too.
Let’s do it!
June goals
To be more present – My mental health has been taking a bit of a battering lately for many reasons, and I’ve been hiding myself away a little bit. So this month I want to be more present. With the children, with my partner, with my family and of course with myself.
Budget, budget, budget – I actually started this one a week ago when I got paid and I’m planning on carrying on with it month on month. Money is tight, as it is with just about everybody right now I’m sure. My plan this month is to track what I’m spending, keep within budget and try and sort out a new money/spending/saving routine.
Get out of the house – OMG the winter has gone on forever right? I’m starting to go a little stir crazy, as are the kids. With the weather being so absolutely awful lately, we’ve been stuck inside. But with summer just about here, I’m planning on getting us all out of the house and enjoying the great outdoors.
Put pen to paper – Or rather, fingers to keys. I have some awesome blog posts lined up, stories coming out of my ears and creative juices flowing. I’ve missed writing and I very definitely have the bug again. So this month is all about the writing.
Purple power – I’ve set a goal this year to see how many different hair colours I can try. So far I have tried bleach blonde (an old favourite) and hot pink (I am in love with this colour). With the pink colour rapidly fading, I can hear the purple tones calling me!
So that makes 5 goals, and 30 days to do them in. I’m feeling pretty good about this. Im feeling motivated and ready to get on with things.
