Welcome to Weekly Wishes an awesome link-up created by Melyssa from The Nectar Collective, as a way to breakdown our own goals/wishes for the week, as well as share positivity and motivation to others. I recently shared my New Year’s Resolutions, as well as my Blogging Goals for 2014. One of those goals is to get back into the Weekly Wishes swing, because i haven’t participated since October and that’s just sad. I’ve always loved the idea of Weekly Wishes and i know it would be the perfect way to remind myself of my long-term 2014 goals! After my previous entries (here) i noticed that blogging about my goals pushes me to reach them by the end of the week and the sense of satisfaction at the finish line feels pretty darn good. Sharing the goals i met at the end of the week keeps me coming back for more. I recently realized that setting weekly wishes was hard, so now i’m trying to set Monthly Wishes!
Let’s take a look at how i did in February:
1. Work on this months editorial calendar. I did get my copy of The New Yawker’s 2014 Blog Action Planner and i have started to use it, but not as much as i would want to. 2. Spring Clean. I’m proud to say that both husband and i spring cleaned our closets and have a couple of garbage bags full of stuff to sell at a Flea Market this month! 3. Oh laundry, how i hate thee. I had no choice but to fold our never ending piles of laundry before husband got back! 🙂 4. Enjoy the flower festivals. I did enjoy both flower festivals i went to, but i did not make another drive to see the Cherry Blossoms :(! I am hoping to hop on to mainland in the next month or so. 5. Finally let my husband take me boating again. You guys i finally let G take me out boating again, this time on a motor boat and we had such a good time! I didn’t have a “i’m going to die” episode like last time! haha 6. Make decisions about our home decor. I don’t know if you read on Instagram, but we moved into a renovated apartment! This is why we’ve had to make a lot of decoration decisions!!! We sold our dinning table, bought a super cheap/cute one that goes perfectly with our new kitchen; also sold a vase that went with the old one. Now we’re waiting on some friends to buy our couch so we can get a new one! There is still so much more to do.
This month my goals are:
1. Unpack, Unpack. Yes, most of the boxes are unpacked, but can you guess what is still hanging out in boxes? Yup, my clothes! Call me Laura the Procrastinator! Also, this is a “this week” goal, not a month goal, haha!
2. Blog More. This past month was pretty slow here on the blog and i am so eager to get back into the blogging swing! I have so many post ideas that i don’t know what’s been happening to me. I need to keep going.
3. Start/Finish projects. I’ve been full of inspiration this past couple of weeks surrounding our new apartment. I want to start and finish the projects i have in mind. Then i can share pictures with you guys! Are you excited?
4. Flea Market. There will be a flea market this month and i want to separate a table so we can sell all the things we don’t need anymore. I’m confident we’ll make a little bit of money and have fun selling things to the japanese ;).
5. Go out and explore! We haven’t done much exploring in a while and i want to get back into it!
