The Purposeful Wife: February Goals

Goodbye January, hello February!

I am pleased to report that January's goals for 3in30 were a success! I feel like I've started to become more grafted into the 3in30 community, and with that has come good peer pressure to actually follow through on the things I've said I would do. Here were last month's goals and how they panned out:

1. Exercise 3xs a week- Did this every week but one (in which I exercised 2xs, so not too shabby).

2. Read 6 books- The scariest goal of the three! I cut it very close (reading the last few pages of the last book very quickly only moments before hitting the sack on Jan. 31st... kind of reminded me of college lol), but managed to do it! The books; 1)The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bill in Half by Stephanie Nelson, 2)Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy, 3)The Excellent Mother by John MacArthur, 4)The Magician's Nephew by C.S Lewis, 5)Becoming a Woman that Pleases God by Pat Ennis and Lisa Tatlock, and finally, 6)God's Solutions to Life's Problems by Wayne and Joshua Mack. Click on the highlighted links to read my reviews, haven't reviewed all yet unfortunately.

Some of the Pictures in need of frames

3. Purge and organize my daughter's nursery- Completed, but the walls are looking a little bare. Decorating is definitely the next step as time and money allows :). I have some beautiful pictures I want to hang, but am having trouble finding the right size frame... 11x12, go figure. See the before pictures here.

For February, these are the three things I hope to accomplish:

1. Develop a morning routine that works well for me, and gets all of the really important things I need to do done!

2. Read 6 more books; the picture at the top of this post displays my selections- 1)Knowing God by J.I Packer, 2)Real Marriage by Mark and Grace Driscoll, 3)The Office of Assertion by Scott Crider, 4)Damsels in Distress by Martha Peace, 5)Organized Simplicity by Tsh Oxenreider (represented here by my navy blue Kindle cover as I have the ebook version), and 6)The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis.

3. Purge and organize our office. A very scary place that I refer to as the cave. Ever since we moved in (a week and a half before my hospitalized bed rest) we've just dumped whatever we didn't know what to do with here. Going to tackle this by setting a timer for 15 minutes every week day.
