November Goals and Friday Favorites

And here we are into the month of November! It is coming to my most favorite time of year...yes Christmas! I love everything about it so get ready for a lot of Christmas-y posts over the next two months. I started out October talking about some goals I wanted to accomplish over the month and I decided to have that same idea for the beginning of this month. I think I should probably review my goals from October before moving onto November and see how I did...

1. Get my closets cleaned out and organized! Finish switching over the summer clothes to autumn/winter. I have started this I have a pile of summer clothes on my floor. Check!

 

2. Try at least 2 new recipes for the crock pot. I love using my slow cooker but sometimes I just don't know what to make so I'm on the look out for some recipes so if you have any leave them for me. Nope! Only got out the slow cooker to make a soup I make often

 

3. Finish a few craft projects I have on the go, especially one that I need to have for a Christmas present this year! I know but it is a big one I have been working on for while so I need to get back at it now otherwise it won't be a gift for this year. Nope but I did start and finish a couple of new ones haha

 

4. Speaking of Christmas, I would like to start my shopping for it this month just to get a jump on it or at least be on the look out for some ideas. I have my lists started but I don't stick to a strict list when Christmas shopping for my family and friends. Check!

 

5. Plan out my 12 Days of Christmas blog posts. I have some fun ideas for it so hopefully they will come together for me. Check!

 

6. Enjoy most days! I know this one sounds kind of silly but after the summer I had I know how special life is and you just have to enjoy your life. You only get one. Check!

I think I did pretty good! 4 out of 6 isn't bad! But I do really have to get on that Christmas craft train so I will actually have certain gifts done for people. Now for the November Goals...

• Get Christmas Craft Projects finished before you start new a new one.
• Plan some fun Christmas-y evenings with family/friends
• Make Christmas cards/Send out
• Finishing organizing the office
• Have most Christmas shopping done by end of November

I think this is quite a doable things for November. Enough but not too much and vague enough I can do other things along with them. What are your goals for November?

I'm also linking up with Erika, Andrea and Narci this week because who doesn't love talking about your favorites of the week and reading about others.

My favorites this week were all the birthday celebrations I got to have and all the family time. I love all of it. It is always nice when you truly get along with your family. The older I have gotten the more I have realized how special family is and how special your chosen family is. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
