Oh my gosh it’s the last month of 2018! How did that happen so fast? I feel like it was just summer and now we are just weeks away from the new year. I will have my 2018 goals recap and my 2019 goals post up soon, but first I want to share how I did in November along with my December 2018 goals.
December 2018 Goals
In November I wanted to…
Read 5 books: I read 3! I wish I had read more but I was sick and we traveled.
Decorate for the holidays: Yes but we waited a little longer this year.
Start Christmas shopping: Yes almost done!
Take Liam to Houston to see family: we did the weekend after Thanksgiving
Get some good blog content and family pics on our vacation: post coming soon!
Unplug for at least 2 days of our vacation: I did not open my computer once and it was glorious
Get blog content scheduled through the end of the year: Yes I am done!
Work on blog anniversary content (I start my 10th year of blogging next month!!!): Such great stuff coming for this!
Get to 25K on Pinterest and 16K on Twitter: I am so so so close on both!
In December I want to…
Take a blog break from Christmas through early Jan to enjoy the holidays with my family
Read 4 books
Take Liam to see Santa at the mall, Breakfast pancakes with Santa at the fire station, the trains at Northpark Mall, Christmas lights around Highland Park, Santa story time, and as many more things as we can
Bake Christmas cookies for our neighbors and friends
Host a white elephant exchange and cookie exchange
It’s crazy how it’s December! Dreading the cold already, but so excited for the Christmas festivities (and all the public holidays, woohoo no work)! Congratulations on reaching your 10-year blogging milestone. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the special posts! 🙂
These are great goals… I am going to write mine tonight! I’m just not that good at remembering to make sure I achieve them after I’ve written them lol!
I would love to take a blog break as well so I can enjoy Christmas. With that being said I probably have to make sure I have all my post made before then and schedule. I love the other goals you listed for December.
Well done! Those unplugged days are glorious, aren’t they? Funny how easy it is to let them not happen unless we plan them in. Holidays are such a good reminder to take that time and just enjoy our families.
We went to the Florida panhandle for Thanksgiving and I hardly opened my computer too. It was so nice to disconnect and spend the time with my family. Congrats on reaching 10 years, that’s awesome!!
I love your goals! I try to read 3-5 (or more) books a month too and I write a monthly review post on the books to keep me accountable. Have fun with your Christmas tradition goals – they sound like fun!

I love that you set goals and put them in writing! Makes it so much more real and you more inclined to reach those goals.

This is so perfect. It’s always great to have goals and complete them. Congrats.
Those are some great goals. My biggest goal was hitting 3000 views in november and i surpassed it! so I am so excited about that!
You read 3 books in just 1 month! I think this is a great number. I managed to read only 1 and I must admit it wasn’t an easy task. 🙂
This year really did go by so fast! Good on you for slaying those goals!
Aw I love this idea for a post. The one about wanting to bake cookies for friends and neighbours is a fab idea xx
Wow, you really rocked your goals for November! That’s great that you are almost finished your Christmas shopping!
I hope you accomplish all your December goals. I think it’s a great idea to take a break and rejuvenate.

I love this! I am glad you got to meet most of your goals! One of my goals for December is to take a weeklong break from blogging.
