Our 2015 Goals

Even though our 2015 goals are almost identical to our 2014 goals, we want to keep ourselves accountable by posting them.  Come along and see how much we accomplish this year.

So here goes, our 2015 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 our last 2 credit cards

3) Not to use any of our credit cards for 2015. 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.

6) Lose weight- My goal is to lose 10 lbs this year.

7) Complete the Couch to 5K with hubby

8) Morning devotions, prayer time and more bible reading

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

10) 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:)

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

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

13) My older boys want to run a 5K~ a color run to be more specific.  So, I am jumping on board with them, after I finish my Couch to 5K program :)

14) To make and use more non toxic cleaners

What goals do you have for 2015? I would love to hear them:)
