Our 2014 Goals

Oh boy~ January is almost over and I just realized we never posted our 2014 goals- oops.

Even though our 2014 goals are almost identical to our 2013 goals, we want to keep ourselves accountable by posting them.  Come along and see how much we accomplish this year.

So here goes, our 2014 goals in no particular order:

1) To not eat out or at least to not pay out of pocket, with the exception of tips. If we want to treat the family to a meal out, we will make sure we have a gift card to cover all of us.

2) Pay off 2 credit cards

3) Not to use any of our credit cards for 2014. To pay cash for everything.

4) To maintain our grocery budget. Our current grocery budget is $400 month for our family of 6. Our goal is to use up to that amount to feed our family healthy nourishing meals.  If we are lucky enough to come under our monthly budget, we will save that amount.

5) To create a monthly meal plan for our family, to use leftovers more efficiently and to make use of everything in our pantry and freezer.  Try our hand at freezer cooking.

6) Lose weight- I need to get motivated to lose this baby weight- my goal is to lose 10 lbs this year.

7) Morning devotions, prayer time and more bible reading

8) Monthly date night with hubby- whether we go out or stay at home, pop popcorn and rent a movie

9) To spend quality family time together. With everyones schedule and us running all over creation, I would love to spend more quality time together- no tv- us playing games, talking, enjoying each others company.  I think we are going to claim Saturday's as family fun day:)

10) Not to use our dryer to save on electricity and lower our electricity bill


11) To do 1 project a month and blog about it

What goals do you have for 2014? I would love to hear them:)
