2012 Goals Update {April}

I thought it might be time to do a little update...just to see how on track I am on my 2012 goals.  Here is my update for April:

Financial

Start putting money into savings. (Yes.)

Starting a Christmas fund. (Yes.)

Vacation fund. (Update:  Got a little bit in there!)

School

Plan out the year with Tot School.  (Update:  The year is planned out and modified for us.  I'm starting Julie on Tot School very slowly with about 2 posts a month on her.)

Home Management

Make a cleaning schedule and stick to it weekly. (Update:  This list is not going to work for me.  Time to admit it.  So now I am trying a modified cleaning list from Little Green Notebook.)

Personal

Books

Here is the list I want to read.  Again, I'm shooting under the table because if I finish this list, I can ADD MORE.  What a revoultion!

The Hole in the Gospel by Richard Sterns  (I felt that the Part 1, 2, and 3 were too long.  And Parts 4 and 5 were too short!  But overall a good read.  Some great principles and ideas discussed in here.)

Real Marriage by Mark Driscoll  (Finished.  It took me almost all month to read this.  It was not interesting.)

Ministry of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson

The Hunger Games by Suzane Collins

The Help by Kathryn Stockett  (Fantastic book!  But after reading the book, the movie was very disappointing.)

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen  (Finished.  Love, love, love it!  Can't wait to watch the movie.  It will probably disappoint me.)

The Choice by Suzanne Woods Fisher

More Lost Than Found by Jared Herd

Kisses from Katie by Katie J. Davis  (A great read about an amazing young lady following Jesus to Africa.  Highly reccomend!)

Radical by David Platt

Book read with YA Book Club at church:

1000 Gifts by Ann Voskmap (Highly recommend!)

Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton  (Reading this right now.  Lot's of great insight in this book!)

Books I've added on:

Bossypants by Tina Fey

Bible Study time

Memorize the book of James  (Memorized to verse 21.)

Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore (Finished.  So good!)

Study Ephesians with Good Morning Girls.  (Done!)

31 Days to Pray for your Children from Keep it Personal

Whew...in just a month, I've accomplished a lot!
