As
I watched the fireworks from my bedroom window last night as the clock struck
midnight I smiled happily remembering all the amazing memories I got to make it
2017. I feel so grateful for a year filled with wonderful family memories and I
am so excited to see what 2018 has to offer!
As
I led in bed thinking about the new year ahead it got me wondering about some
of the goals I would like to achieve this year and so I thought I would share
those with you here and as a place for me to write them all down to look back
on next year.
BLOGGING GOALS
I
have a few goals I would love to achieve this year for my blog including
increasing my social media following and sharing more personal content. Here
are my top 5 goals for 2018 for my blog.
-
Reach 3500 followers on my Facebook page.
-
Reach 10,000 followers on my Twitter page.
-
Reach 5000 followers on my Instagram page.
-
Post a personal family post and a weight loss update every week for the whole
year. I would also like to guest post on other parent blogs at least once per
month.
-
Continue to share our family adventures with you (hopefully lots more adventures
this year!).
PERSONAL GOALS
So
now you know my blog goals but what about my personal goals, just for me? Well
here are my personal goals for 2018 and I am hoping to share my progress in
achieving lots of these with you here on my blog.
-
Continue with slimming world and lose lots more weigh! I have lost 2 stone 7
pounds since May but I really want to up my game this year and I'm hoping to
lost at least 3 stone more by the summer so I can feel a little happier and
more confident this summer when out playing with the kids.
-
Plan more adventures! The kids love discovering new things and being outside
but we often end up doing the same things so this year I am hoping to hunt out
some fun adventures for us all to enjoy. I know the kids would love to try out
camping this year too so we may have to give this a try! We also have a WWT
membership to hoping to make more use of this and visit as many of the centres
as we can.
-
Get more organised! This is something I really need to work on especially with
both the kids now in school/preschool as well as attending various clubs and
groups. I'm tired of remembering things last minute and rushing around,
forgetting things and missing out and I really need to schedule in time for my
blog and my hobbies so I don't feel swamped by everything I need/want to get
done. I have order a fancy new diary, done myself a spreadsheet for my finances
and will be doing a weekly meal plan to stay on top of our meals.
So
there you have it, these are my goals for 2018! I'm not putting to much
pressure on myself after all another year spent with my family, seeing their
smiles, making precious memories and appreciating all the little things are so
important. But I think its nice to have some goals to work towards throughout
the year!
Do
you have any new year resolutions or new year goals this year? I would love to
hear them in the comments below!
Happy New Year!
