July Goals {Linky Party}

I’m linking up with I {heart} Recess for her July goals linky party.  I can’t believe that July is here.  It only seems a few days ago that I was saying goodbye to my beloved kiddos!

Personal:  I really need to get rid of some of my clothes, as well as DD’s clothes and toys.  She has things popping out of everywhere!

Family:  My baby loves the beach!  She loves making little sand castles, drawing her name in the sand, and jumping the surf.  I am determined to take her there this summer.  We only live an hour and a half away, but the traffic is horrible! Ugghhhh.  I much prefer to go in the fall and winter – but the beach is no fun then.

Health:  My team and I have joined Planet Fitness together.  It’s so much more fun when we go together, but right now everyone’s out of town.  🙁 My goal is to to go to the gym regularly and mix up the cardio and strength.

School: I am a little jittery because Common Core is coming and I don’t feel comfortable.  I have signed up for a workshop on July 15 & 16, and I hope that I feel a little more confident after I leave.

Blog/Tpt:  During the summer I am a much better blogger, but I really want to get my TpT store up and running.  I’ve put up a few things, but I have so many more that just need a bit of tweaking and “jazzing” up.

Outside the Box:  My poor hubby hardly ever gets a home cooked meal during the school year….. 🙁 Last week I came upon a pork chop crockpot recipe.  I tried it the next day and it turned out GREAT!  Hubby complimented me over and over again.  So that’s a keeper and I want to add a few more specialties.

Well, those are my goals….I would love to hear about yours!  And then make sure you head over the I {heart} Recess and link up!

Until the next time,
