Did you set up goals for this year? Are you on track with them?
You’re flying through those goals! If you’re visiting North Wales please let me know and we can meet for a catch-up!
Goals wise – I made some but the main one was to go rollerblading once a month which I’ve more or less managed.
You are super organised and excellent at working on goals! I think you have done amazingly so far! You are well on track with the books, reviews and recipes (which all look beautiful!). Well done!
Sounds like you’re smashing this years goals! Especially the cooking and travel ones 😀
You are doing a great job with your goals! Blogging about it will really keep you on track. I just set little goals throughout the year to accomplish. That way I don’t let myself down.
You’re doing well. I’m impressed with your productivity and your organizational skills.
