How'd I Do... June Goals

My goodness, I can't believe we are halfway through 2012 already.  Crazy.  Time sure does seem to go by so much faster when you have kiddos... to me anyways.  Let's see how June went.

June Goals:


Homemaking -
Finish the kiddos closet - We finally finished this.  
Move Ashlynn into kids room???  Nope, but this month for sure.
Refinish bunk bed - No, I think I decided to keep the wood finish.

Cooking -
Continue meal planning and cooking - Yep.  Definitely a huge improvement from the past couple of months.
Organize recipe box - Sorta, but I'm going to count it as a yes.

Mothering -
Set up chore charts - I started working on this, but I'm not super happy with how it came out, so I want to start over.
Make art project schedule for summer - No, but I've got several fun ideas that we just need to start doing.

Creating -
Plant potatoes in garden - Agh, no...  Obviously this really needs to get done.  I guess we'll have a nice fall crop of potatoes.

Financing -
Plan budget for the month - Yep and I actually managed to stay in budget.

Enriching -
Read a book - I actually did this too.  I'm not really sure why I've had such a hard time reading lately, especially since I love to read, but I just can't find the motivation for it these days.  It must be the pure exhaustion by the time I crawl into bed.

Let's move onto July.  This month is going to be crazy busy with way too much to cram in.  Wish me luck!
