Birthday Goals

I usually set my yearly goals on my birthday in June instead of New Years. For some reason it feels more attainable and realistic. This past year I really tried to set attainable goals. As Spring is coming closer I'm going to be doing a little inventory of where I stand with my goals so I stay focused on trying to achieve them. Each month brings a new opportunity to stay on the right track and I'm excited to share with you what I have on my agenda through June! Jack always gets me cupcakes from Swirlz for my birthday so maybe this year I'll have a candle for each goal I achieve:)
