April Goals Update

Daily:
Read the Bible - This hasn't been as great at January, but I'd say it's my second most successful month so far. I devised a plan to read through the New Testament so now I don't have any excuses about not knowing what to read. It's come in handy recently because we keep having trouble with Kaleb. We decided we needed to revamp our house rules and decisions. We now have 2 rules - based on the Bible. We love God and we love each other. Everything else comes from that.
Thank someone - I've been much more intentional about thanking Eric specifically when he does something. I make sure to let him know how much I appreciate him.

Weekly:
Kaleb time - We've had fun playing outside and going to get ice cream together. We went to the park just the two of us and mowed the yard together.
Exercise - I walked around the track some this month. I wish I was more motivated and consistent with it though. I also did Jillian Michael's workout again. Phew!
Recipes - Well, I managed to get 3 of my 4 goal recipes done. The tomato basil pasta was just so complicated that I skipped it. Crockpot lemon chicken was a success! And it was SO easy. I tweaked the recipe a little bit and I think next time it will be even better. Eric liked it a lot and Kaleb even ate it. Pair it with rice and green beans and it's an actual adult meal.

Of course I tried both desserts. The white chocolate raspberry recipe didn't exactly work out because I couldn't find raspberries anywhere! I improvised and made white chocolate strawberries instead. Pretty tasty. They were better when the chocolate was still warm because once it hardened it was pretty hard. Still good though.

I'll obviously never have pictures on Pinterest because I can't get the plate clean enough. I did some chocolate filled and some chocolate dipped.

Lastly I made the caramel marshmallow popcorn. It was also really good, but pretty rich. I think next time I make it I'll use twice the popcorn. You almost had to eat it with a spoon!

Monthly:
Date Night - My parents took the boys one weekend so Eric and I got to go out to eat to celebrate him getting this summer internship. Sushi is so much better when you don't have to calm a crying baby or chase a rambunctious three year old.
Read - I read the Duck Dynasty book in a couple of days. Now I've moved on to Anna Karenina. It may take me more than a month to finish that one.
DIY - Goodbye DIY goal!

Yearly:
5k - Done and done! I say it twice because I've done two, obviously. I have to admit they're kind of addictive. They're not so hard you have to train a lot, but they're difficult enough to feel accomplished for finishing it. I want to do another one with Eric in November and maybe jog a good bit of it.
