Goals for 2014 - UPDATED 8-1-14

As the New Year rolled in I set aside 5 basic things that I wanted to focus on for the year 2014. I promised monthly updates in hope that it will keep my focused on accomplishing these.  Here is the original post:  Goals for 2014 as posted on 1-4-14

1)  Replace Holy Mary Tree Topper:  Check

 

2) Create Heirloom Quality Christmas Stockings:
 Have not even started.

3) Improve Flexibility and Stamina:
 I have been busy-busy-busy.  We have gone swimming and site seeing.  Nothing formal or official just still plugging away. 

4) Move Into a Home That Better Fits This Big Family Needs:
We refinanced the house this mouth.  We will save a little money.  It should help our credit rating in the long run.  It isn't a new house or a move yet, but I do feel we are moving in the right direction.

5) Be Adventurous:
When the older kids needed to go to St. Louis for a retreat, we knew that I would drive them.  That would mean a few days in St. Louis with my mom and time to visit a few friends.  In the end I felt that desire to share the adventure a little bit so Pickle came with us and stayed with me.  It was fun., I loved having one child to spend those adventures with.  I probably would have stayed at home a lot more but I wanted Pickle to have fun so we ventured all over town.
