12 in 2012 // July Update

I'm late again! It's funny how I am busier than ever, but feel less stress than I normally do. It's all about that balance. Accepting the fact that I can't do everything, and getting my priorities straight.

Here's how things are going so far. I decided to put the goals I'm doing well with in green, and the ones that are failing in red. I'm a visual person :) Stick around for my all my personal junk and you just might get some Goodwill coupons and an introduction to my rad feature sponsor :)


1. Get back to my pre-sickness weight

Without getting too personal, I can tell you that a large part of my recent weight struggles have been hormone imbalance related. I am now back on a certain medication that balances those right out. Hopefully this will ease my struggle a bit. My fridge is loaded up with healthy foods and we have a new puppy to chase around. Still working on it!

2. Learn to knit

Still hoping to take the class at JoAnn's. This is probably going to need to happen when B is back in school now. Our summer got busy fast!

3. Re-learn how to sew

Same: A sewing machine will be my next big purchase and then I'll start!

4. Read 60 Books

I'm reading book #34. I was slowing down a bit but this new puppy parenting and a bit of insomnia last week and helped me breeze through 2 1/2 books in just a few days. 

5. Get dressed.


Same: Doing pretty good with this. I'm at least wearing shorts and a t-shirt instead of yoga pants. 

6. Go to the Grand Canyon

Fall break? Ugh.

7. Finish decorating my home

This is my favorite, we having fun with this one!

8. Take a photography class Done!

I did it! Read my review of the class I took from Bella Pop HERE.

9. Hit 200 Etsy sales

Same: Meh...I should probably change this to a make X amount of $ from selling at shows because Etsy is definitely on the back burner right now. We're only about half way through the year though so we'll see. I'm happy with the way my business is going right now so I'm not worried. 

10. Cook Dinner

This is going well, I'm even making lunch!

11. Do at least 3 tutorials a month on the blog

I did one last month, better :)

12. Go Green & Garden

We are recycling like champs, we may even have to order a second barrel from the city.

I also planted a ton of herbs and succulents in side and a few pots of summer flowers outside. It's been a couple of weeks and nothing's dead. Awesome!

How are you doing on your goals?
