I don’t know about you but I’m KILLING it this year! Normally, when I do my halfway-through-the-year goals check-in I’m not feeling too great. But this year is completely different for me. I have been focusing on a good routine that works for me and my kids’ schedules. I’m excited to check in and recap my 2024 goals and you can see just how well I’m doing. I hope it inspires you to take a look at your goals for the year and see what needs improvement and what you are crushing!

Goals Check-In One: Read 125 Books

This goal was a little ambitious for me and I was kind of nervous to see where I would be at for this goals check-in. Turns out I have read 62 books so far this year and, according to Goodreads, I am two books ahead of schedule. I’m so proud of myself because reading is something I do for myself. It is my favorite hobby. I love curling up on the couch at naptime and reading.

I have decided to share my top 5 books that I have read this year and would recommend you check out (just click the title to see the Amazon link):

1. Good Girls Don’t Die by Christina Henry
2. Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah
3. The Women by Kristin Hannah
4. Listen For The Lie by Amy Tintera
5. A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder by Holly Jackson

Goals Check-In Two: Publish 27 Blog Posts

This may not sound like a lot of blog posts to some bloggers but I struggle to publish my posts. This year I have published 21 blog posts (including this one). This is quite an accomplishment for me because last year I only published 19 blog posts in total. I have found a rhythm with my blogging and I created a structured routine for myself which has kept me on track to not only accomplishing this goal but to blow right past it. I’m pushing myself to publish 35 blog posts, rather than the 27 I originally planned.

Here are my top 5 blog posts of this year:

• 2024 Goals Worksheet with Monthly Goals Planner (+FREE Printable)
• The Best and Easiest Slow Cooker Steak Burrito Bowl Recipe
• My Awesome Summer Schedule with Four Children at Home
• Amazing Newborn Essentials from a Mother of Four (Pt. 1)
• Easy Meal Prep Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe

Goal Three: Schedule All Doctor Appointments

One of my goals for 2024 was to get all the doctor appointments scheduled. The appointments I’m referring to are a General Practitioner, a Gynecologist, a dentist, and a dermatologist. So far this year I have already had my appointments with the GP and the Dentist. I have my appointment for the GYNO coming up in September and I just need to find a Dermatologist. Then I’m all set with accomplishing this goal. I’m very confident about completing this goal too.

Goal Four: Plan and Go On A Family Vacation

This one I’m very happy to say we accomplished! We went on a family vacation with Luke’s family to Virginia. It was such a great experience for the kids. They loved going to Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, and spending a day at Virginia Beach. Luke also enjoyed spending time with his family that lives out there.

Goal Five: Start a Garden

I have been saying for YEARS that I want a little garden to grow some vegetables. I finally got my butt off the couch and made a little area in the backyard to grow some plants. The older boys and I had to chop down some dead stumps and Luke tilled the ground for me. We made just enough room for some plants. Then the kids and I set off the Home Depot to purchase some already planted vegetables. We chose two tomato plants, two mini pepper plants (one orange and one yellow), a jalapeno plant, a cucumber plant, a strawberry plant, and a zucchini plant.

I wanted to start small because I can sometimes make big plans and then get overwhelmed with all the work. The kids love checking out the garden to see how everything is growing. Our strawberries are starting to come in! I’m so glad I finally accomplished this goal!

Final Thoughts

2024 is shaping up to be the year I crush all my goals. I have a few things I need to work on to help me finish my goals. I can’t wait until December when I can tell you all that I accomplished every goal. Thanks for reading my 2024 goals check-in. I hope this inspires you to check in with your goals or create goals for the last six months of the year. It’s never too late to start a new goal

If you have a moment let me know in the comments below how your goals are going. You can tell me what you need to work on or what goal you’re currently crushing. I love hearing from all of you.

Lastly, if you found this at all interesting or inspiring please share this on your socials. I greatly appreciate all the love and support.

Thanks for reading,

Kel
