1. Completely Finish the New House & Update Property
Looking back I can see this was a huge goal and much too big for one year. The difference between doing it yourself on a budget and paying to have it done is enormous. While we still have some house projects and the yard needs work, we are happy to be in a completely paid for house. I know we will knock out the rest of the items involved with this. It just did not happen in 2017.
2. Plan Ahead for Birthday & Holiday Gifts
This was a success. I am actually ahead on birthday gifts for next year. I am more focused on keeping an eye out for gifts throughout the year rather than right before the date. I feel like it got me back on track with gift giving.
3. Use the Garden to Be More Self-Sufficient
We had a good garden year. I can see some things I need to change going forward. It will help me be more focused in the future.
4. Take One Class a Month
I did fairly well with this one. I slipped when things got busy around the holidays. I would have been happy if all I did this year was learn to make macarons! I still have a long list of classes waiting for me.
5. Pack Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes on a Budget
This was a great success. I love being able to support this ministry.
6. Boost Savings
This one was a bit hit and miss. I did add to savings just not as much as I would have liked. I am calling it mostly a success though.
Stop back by Monday when I will be sharing my goals for 2018!
