Four Goals for March

I cannot believe that it's March. I do this every year, I think because February is so short I feel like we missed a part of it! At the beginning of February I did a Four Goals post, and I ended up nearly doing everything I wanted to do. I organised part of my office, started training Amos, read one of the books I wanted (better than none) and we hung our giant wedding canvas up!

I love it so much!

Now for my March goals 

1. Work on this blog and start making it more personal.

I bought the template for this blog on etsy. I love the colour scheme, however I want to change my profile picture and make it bigger, I want a better About Me section and I want to add a part on the side for my latest instagram photos. I am not very good at working all of these things out, I already followed a guide to add the instagram photos and it didn't work! I also want to add links to my favourite bloggers and I am also thinking about sponsoring a blog or two. It's not that I want a million people reading this, but a couple more people commenting would be awesome - I would love to make more friends :-)

2. Spend a day in Katoomba 

I love Katoomba, and it's only 40 minutes drive from where I live. There are awesome vintage stores there, and some great op-shops, so I need to spend a day by myself  to take my time rummaging. Plus, I can stop at Leura on the way home and buy some vegan cupcakes from Rubyfruit!

3. Start making photo albums

I placed a huge Snapfish order recently (their prints are so cheap!) of around 5 million wedding photos (plus a hilarious gift for my Mum who kept making fun of the posed photos my photographer took - I got the photo she laughed at most printed on a mug for her! Haha). We got a lovely album from my old colleagues as a wedding gift, so I will have to make the hard decision of which photos are worthy of it and start sticking them in. I also bought an album for my instagram photos I got printed which I still haven't started!

 4. Start introducing Amos to the cats a bit more
This is really important. I want Amos to be able to potter around the house with me and snooze on the couch with us in the evening, however at the moment when I bring him inside he has a big crate that he lays down in so that the cats can see him and he can see them but he can't get to them. He's very excitable and he really just wants to play with them. He sticks his butt up in the air and wiggles it around but the cats just hiss and run away! I hope they get used to each other.

So those are my goals, hopefully I can achieve them all. Do you have any goals for March?

Four Goals for February

A Beautiful Mess (one of my favourite blogs!) recently made a post about productivity where they mentioned that telling people your goals may help you to achieve them, as they then become your "accountability partner" ha ha - I thought this was great idea and decided to share my February goals

1. Start training Amos

Amos hasn't had any proper training, his carer tried her best and did a good job, however she is more of a cat person (she has 13!) so I don't think she was too fussed with training him, plus he's only young and very excitable. I want to be able to walk him properly and I would like him to know basic commands so he listens to me!

2.  Organise my office 

Something I really want to do is organise the whole house so that I can find things more easily, and that way the house is easier to keep clean too! I plan to start with my office cupboard which looks like this, plus four draws under all this that are stuffed full of random things that need a home!

3. Read these 3 books 

The Ocean at the End of the Lane is Neil Gaiman's latest book (released in June last year) and I've been wanting to read it since it was released! Piercing I have had for years and I think it's time to read it. As for Vagina, it just sounds like a fascinating biography and I am interested in reading about a part of the body that more than half of the worlds population has, is responsible for bringing life into this world and yet is also a taboo subject that you can't even name on television and if you say it in certain situations you will be silenced! 

4. Hang our wedding canvas and the canvas I got stretched.

Pretty easy thing, but I know people who get these things printed and take forever to actually hang them!

All in all, I think these are 4 very achievable goals. February should be a great month, we are picking up our new baby on Friday! I cannot wait to hang out with Amos and introduce him to everyone. It's also the last month of summer, which means Autumn (my favourite season!) is getting closer.

Have a great day
Megan.
