Hey Friends,

Instead of the usual monthly to-do list post, I decided to share my summer goal list. This may be an unrealistic list of goals for the summer (considering my busy schedule), but it will be fun to see how many summer goals I actually accomplish! I’ve already begun working on several of them. 

In June, I will be cutting back to just one blog post every Thursday. Just wanted to give you a heads up. My summer schedule will be too busy to post twice a week.

At the end of this post I want to hear all about your summer goals! If you have a whole list of goals like I do, feel free to send it to me via the contact page.

Now, here’s my summer goal list!

Summer Goal List 2018

Bible Study Goals

• Study 3 Books of the Bible (One a Month) – This month I will be studying 1 Timothy and I hope to go through this study book which will help me complete my next goal…
• Go through an Elizabeth George Study Book – Elizabeth George has some great study guides for various books of the Bible and they are incredibly helpful!
• Finish Watching Loving God With All Your Mind – Another Elizabeth George study help, I need to finish this so I can return it to my mom!
• Use my Prayer Journal Every Day – I don’t want to neglect my prayer life because of the busyness of summer.
• Memorize Three Verses – One a month… keeping things simple.

Health and Beauty Goals

• Drink Half a Gallon of Water Every Day – This is such a struggle for me! My goal is half a gallon a day!
• Go for 2 Walks a Week – Whether it’s with my cousins or with my hubby, I want to get out and walk!
• Stretch Every Sunday – Because of blogging, I sit a lot during the day. I want to follow a relaxing stretch routine each Sunday.
• Take Vitamin D Every Day – Vitamin D is good for the skin, and for balancing blood sugar levels (something I need). I just need to remember to take mine! This is the kind I take.
• Cut Back on Sugary Sweets – Enough said.
• Wear my Retainer Every Night – Yes, I had braces… and yes I still need to wear a retainer at night!
• Get a Hair Cut – I’m in desperate need of one!
• Schedule Eye Doctor and Dentist Appointments for Me and Hubby

Homemaking Goals

• Get the Porch Repainted – It needs it badly!
• Buy Wall Map for the Living Room – My hubby and I love maps, so I want to find one for our living room. (I’m eyeing up this super cool wall map!)
• Re-Paint Outdoor Lanterns (or buy new ones!) – We have cute lanterns hanging on our porch that need repainted or replaced.
• Re-Decorate Living Room Shelves – Just recently I re-organized my books and put them on a new bookshelf. Now I need to redecorate the empty shelves that are left.
• Put Glass Doors in Entry Way – We have these beautiful glass doors in our attic that can be attached to the entry way in our living room. I hope to have them put back up.
• Finish Putting Stones in the Garden – Our front garden in almost complete.
• Hang Pictures – We got the nails, we just need to hang some pictures! 🙂
• Find Some Nice Chairs or a Bench for our Porch – On nice days it would be nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather!

Personal Growth Goals

• Learn a New Piano Arrangement – I am not a good sight-reader, and it takes me a long time to learn new piano pieces. This summer I want to work on playing a new piano arrangement.
• Read 10 Books – So far this year’s reading goal is going well but I want to stay on top!
• Start Selling Earrings and Homemade Cards Again – I used to make and sell earrings and cards. I really want to get back into that this summer.
• Write in my Journal Once a Week – My journal has been a little neglected lately. Summer is the perfect time to record all my summer adventures.

Blogging Goals

• Blog Once a Week – I will be cutting back to one blog post a week for the summer!
• Send Emails Once a Week – Are you signed up for my email list?
• Reach 500 Instagram Followers – Help me with my goal! You can follow me here.

• Add New Items to the Shop – There are some fun ideas products planned for the Shop this summer.
• Sell 5 E-Books Each Week – I am so glad I was able to write the Radiant Modesty E-Book. I hope to sell five copies each week (about 60 for the summer)
• Plan Out all My Blog Posts for the Rest of the Year! – I have a blog editorial calendar that I use to keep track of all my blog post ideas. I am getting ready to plan out all my blog posts for the next 6-7 months!
• Get a New Phone – I put this under blogging goals, because I need a new phone to get more blog tasks done “on the go!”
• Double my Amazon Earnings – I am an Amazon affiliate and earn money by sharing Amazon products. This summer my goal is to double last summer’s earnings.

Social Goals

• Spend a Day with My Cousin – My cousin and I are hoping to get together this summer… now we just need to work through our conflicting schedules!
• Host a Girl’s Get-Together – It’s been a while since my last girl’s get-together. I hope to plan another one this summer.

Other Goals
