Goals for 2010
This past year has been full of huge changes for our family. There have been successes and failures, progress and sometimes it feels like we’re back-tracking, but God is so faithful and hopefully we are learning!
Some 2009 highlights:
- I left my amazing job (at the end of 2008) to become a SAHM.
- Ridley was born on January 13th – best life-changer ever!
- I started blogging in March 2009 – more to come on that later!
- Prince Charming worked two jobs for most of the year.
- He finally left his second job in October – Yay!
- I continued my part-time design business (with Ridley on my hip).
- We paid off debt via the “snowball effect” (if you don’t know what I’m talking about just Google Dave Ramsey!)
- We’ve been stretched from our mistakes, but God’s grace is sufficient.
2010 Goals
Personal:
- Lose the remaining baby weight.
- Be a better wife and momma.
- Read my Bible through in 90 days, wanna join me?
- Finish my Home Management Binder – more on that later!
- Make photo books from the last 4 years.
- Organize my closets!
Financial:
- Finish paying off debt.
- Put our house on the market and see what God does.
- Keep a stricter budget!
- Save, save, save.
Family:
- Spend more quality time together (bike rides, field trips).
- Have family devotions every day.
- Structure educational activities for Ridley.
- Keep looking for ways to give and minister to others.
- Grow in grace.
Blog:
- Stay tuned!

Most definitely will post some of my own goals! Good idea! I think if you have them in writing (or typing ha!) they're easier to stick with. Missed getting to see you at Christmas! We're hoping to plan a trip back home in a couple of months. I want to know more about your Home Management Binder. 🙂 Love you girl!
Great goals. I too will be reading the Bible in 90 days!
I need to revamp my household binder since we moved a few things need to be changed up!
Happy New Year!
Thanks for the idea! I would do this goal setting too!
I just recently found your blog (2 days ago) and I love your posts. We have a lot of the same goals for the new year! I can't wait to read more!

Great goals! I'm planning to read the Bible in 90 days too!
Happy new Year! Great review and new goals.
Here via 5M4M! I'm liking that home management binder idea….
I want to know more about your home management binder!!! I'm in desperate need of getting things organized . . . I'm such a scatterbrain. I'd love to hear what you do to keep so organized. Happy New Year!
Sounds like you have some great goals picked out for the new year! I look forward to reading your progress and can't wait to see what you have in store for your blog.
Great goals! Happy New Year!
Just stopped by from Life As Mom.. Love your blog.. Thanks for sharing your good/bads from last year. Good luck and God bless in the New Year!
I love my Home Management Binder! Now, if only I could get a day to day cleaning schedule down that works exactly as I want it to.
Happy 2010 to you and your family!

This was an awesome post. I'm big on goals and vision. I did a home management binder a few years ago and totally changed how I did things. I still do it to this day! I give you my full support in reaching your goals. Just awesome! You go girl!
So inspiring to read everyone's goals for 2010. I can't wait to see the blogging goals link up tomorrow. 🙂
I'm here from Jo-Lynne's linky… hooray for great blessings in 2009! I like your header image – baby toes! =)
You've got a great list of aspirations for 2010 – have fun accomplishing them and checking them off. God bless! =)
No, wait.. I'm here from 5M4M.. had them both open and was browsing off both lists. =P Whichever — I got here! =)
Thanks for sharing your goals. I like how you divided them up by category. I have been seeing several people with the goal of reading the Bible in 90 days, which sounds like such a great idea. Be sure to keep us posted on how it goes.

What a wonderful list … I’m also doing the Read the Bible in 90 Days challenge this year. I wrote about that yesterday … what a great experience it has been so far! Thank you for linking up with us at Fresh Year, Fresh Start. I do hope you have been encouraged by this week’s posts … we are looking forward to sharing next week on marriage!

Those are great goals and it sounds like you have had a pretty significant year! Congratulations on becoming a mama =) I am doing the Bible in 90 days challenge as well and have found it so enlightening. Have a great weekend!

Once upon a time I had a home-management binder… thank you for the little encouragement to take it off the shelf, dust it off, and start using it again! 😉
Thanks for linking with FYFS – we pray that this series is an encouragement to you as we seek to make fresh commitments to what matters most!

We did the Dave Ramsey FPU class this past year with our church and loved it! Glad to hear you are tackling your debt snowball [hopefully with gazelle intensity. haha]. Stopping by from “Fresh Year, Fresh Start” and I am in love with your blog! Such a beautiful layout and open and honest posts. I’ll be sticking around, as I am now following you. Hope you have a blessed weekend and thank you for sharing your goals and ambitions with us.

We have a love/hate relationship with Dave Ramsey! I love that he is helping us be debt-free, but I do get sick of PB&Js every day toward the end of the month while we’re holding out for more grocery $$! Be blessed in your endeavors!
I’m reading the Bible in 90 days too…so far it has been a huge blessing and a great way to start the year!

You have set some great goals for this year! I share some of the same ones as you. I got a late start in the 90 day Bible reading challenge, but I’m chugging along. It is such a blessing.
