Happy April AKA my birthday month (oh and Andrew’s too!) I love April because usually the weather is pretty great! I hope everyone had a great weekend, so let’s get on with my April 2018 goals and check in on how March went!
April 2018 Goals
In March I wanted to…
Read 5 books: I read 6!
Go on two dates with Andrew: eh we majorly failed this month on the dates. We did spend a lot of good time together at home though.
Figure something special out for Andrew’s birthday: yep!
Celebrate my grandfather turning 94! We did this past Friday! Happy birthday Poppy!!!
Work on Summer post ideas more: Yes I am pretty planned through July in blog posts. Lots of fun stuff coming up and LOTS of Travel posts!
Reach 22K Pinterest followers: not quite but working on it!
Purge/put in storage Liam’s baby toys: YES! I finally put a ton of Liam’s baby toys and stuff he just doesn’t play with away.
Wean Liam off of bottles completely: Yes we are DONE with bottles. It’s somewhat bittersweet because I really loved our bottle time and cuddles but I know he’s growing up.
Go to Yoga 4 times, Barre 4 times: Yes and yes!
Go on more walks when the weather permits: YES! We have loved going on walks with our friends around the neighborhood and going for family walks when Andrew is home. Liam loves to point at all the animals, trees and cars. We hear “ohhh” and “ca(car)” a lot!
In April I want to….
Read 5 books
Try a different Yoga class that’s a bit more challenging
Try a new barre studio
Write at least one travel post about our upcoming trip to NYC
Get my closet a lot more organized than it currently is
Take Liam to story time at the library
Work on Twitter growth (would love to hit 20K this year)
Work on plans for Andrew and my first getaway sans baby in June
Have 3 dates with Andrew (it’s our birthday month, I have high hopes)
I really like the way you write about your monthly goals!
I want to paint on canvas in April and try to write everyday! 🙂

One thing? That’s tough. I guess I want to complete the A to Z challenge. My theme is Improve your Life, Improve your Mind. Brains! Are we stuck with what we have?s
I want to try a new yoga studio too! When my kids were little they loved the library’s story time. We always went to the playground afterwards and made a couple hours of it. Then they slept on the way home. What books are on your list?
You set great achievable goals but enough to stretch you a bit which I think is great. So often we set things that are too far out of our reach and then get discouraged when we don’t achieve them. You have your blogs planned to July – wow! I am in awe of that! I am only a few weeks ahead and thought I was doing well LOL
Very ambitious goals! It’s great to see that you check off all of your goals and accomplish them. I am horrible at following through with goals. Well done
I want to take a spinning class at my gym at least once a week. I’ve gone to two so far, and its the best workout I’ve had in a long time. I also want to reorganize my closet, and donate any clothes I don’t wear anymore.
Lovely post! As a big reader myself, I support your goal for 5 books! Any good ones on the horizon? I’m going away soon as well and always looking for new reads for traveling!
Happy birthday month to you both! I want to get back “into” reading. I started my year so strong and totally fell off the wagon in March (my dad and I were bingeing Game of Thrones…). Honestly, four books would make me super happy! I also want to pick up a part-time job, whether it’s at a cycling studio or a yoga studio. It’ll give my current funemployment life a little more structure and interest!
I have a long to do list and I want to make sure that I finish everything on it this month. May is a busy travel month for me so I really need to make sure I get things done. We are in the process of building a home in another state so I think I will have a busy summer too!
You always amaze me with your goals list, so organized and productive to do this. I am hoping to start it, but yet I keep not starting a monthly goals list 😉 Maybe this will be the month that inspires me to do one next month!
April is my daughter’s birthday she’ll be turning 13! My goal for the month is to relax…I have to have my tonsils taken out next week and will be out from work for two weeks and I’m going to relish in the fact that I have to chill out. It’s an odd goal but I’ll take it as a blessing in disguise 🙂
I the idea of keeping yourself accountable through monthly goals. This month, I’d like to try an aerial fitness class. I’ve been wanting to do it forever, just haven’t gotten around to it.
Happy Birthday month to you both! I’m ready for nicer – non rainy – weather so I can get outside more. I really need to get moving more, and I really like sitting outside and reading. 🙂
Happy birthday month! I bet it’s fun sharing April as you and your husband’s birthdays. Both of mine and my husband’s birthdays are in May. Our birthdays are one day apart and 5 years. It’s so much fun to celebrate together.
I really loved reading your blog. I also found your posts very interesting. In fact after reading, I had to go show it to my friend and he ejoyed it as well!
I need to do your Monthly goals. I would say if I had to write it out for the world to read and then share an update, I would be way more inclined to stay on task! Way to go! And yay… buh bye bottles
It’s my birthday month too! Woohoo!! I really want to dial my nutrition back in this month. I know I’ve let it veer off what makes me feel best, so that’s going to be a big focus this month.
You have accomplished so much! I am not managing my time well at home lately. If only I could read that many books and get my posts scheduled earlier than on the spot.
Hi, new here! Love this idea of having monthly goals. It’s awesome you were able to reach all of your goals! 6 books in a month it’s impressive, I usually do 2-3 books a month. Thank you for sharing this, definitely feel inspired to work on a monthly list of goals 😉
Thank you for sharing this great post, I am very impressed with your post, the information given is very meticulous and understandable. I will regularly follow your next post.
It’s always nice seeing your monthly goals, Neely! You always seem to accomplish so much in such a short space of time! 🙂
For me, it’s definitely going out and enjoying the outdoors more this April, now that it’s getting warmer again! 😀

Any tips on how to work on Twitter growth?
Love this! So many great ideas for goals- I want to try Orange Theory Fitness for the first time!
Thanks for sharing your goals! can’t wait to hear about your NYC trip! I’ve never been!
My goal for April is to keep combining the content of my second website on to my first to have only one website to manage.
always great to have goals and have plans. I am horrible at scheduling out my blog posts ahead of time. Good for you.

Very cool. Way to kill it in March!
It sounds like you have been a busy bee! I wish I could be that productive. I am still a work in progress.

One thing I want to do in April… I want to have all of the crafts for our Vacation Bible School don and ready. It’s hard to pick just one thing.

I love April as well!! This month I hope to continue to work on growing my blog and taking it more seriously! Love all your goals!
I really should start making monthly goals. Maybe that way I’ll finally get the one wall painted I’ve been meaning to do!
You are on top of things for your blog! That’s awesome! I wish I was that organized! Love the goals for April! Good luck!

We’d love to do more travels this month and hopefully we will be able to bring all the family members with us, it’ll be fun!
My goal is to get outside more
What a great March and it sounds like April will be just as nice! Hope your weather stay nice– ours has been all over the place!
Great goals! I’m trying to exercise at least 3 days a week and get my kitchen painted this month
It’s my birthday month too! Woohoo!! I really want to dial my nutrition back in this month. I know I’ve let it veer off what makes me feel best, so that’s going to be a big focus this month.
I love that you do this! I am one to check things off of a list and think I would do much better if I actually wrote things down!
Thank you, super inspiring! I need to actually put my goals on paper (or screen!) each month like this.
You have accomplished so much! I am not managing my time well at home lately. If only I could read that many books and get my posts scheduled earlier than on the spot.
So cool that you were able to meet your goal of reading 5 books. I barely got one in lol Good luck reaching your goals for April!

Your monthly goal-setting updates are really well written.
You tell it like it is, which I find honest and interesting. My blog taught me a lot about
