Every year, we make a list of the ten goals we want to accomplish, to better ourselves. We tell each other what those goals are and try to hold each other accountable.

Last year, we shared these goals on the blog so that we could come back and see how many we accomplished, how many we are still working on and how many we gave up on and why. Today, we went through our 2021 goals to see how we did and couldn’t wait to share it all with you.

2021 was a big year for our family. We finally bought our first family home in October and moved to Central Florida. We have been spending the last few months making it our own with paint and a huge honey-do list that never seems to get any smaller. As exhausting as it’s been, I wouldn’t trade this experience for the world.

  • It’s definitely a great help to set our goal beforehand that will make it a determination and guide to this new year. Without a goal, no one can progress or develop one’s self.

  • You guys did so good! I’m very proud of my year too, I didn’t accomplish everything but I’ve accomplished something that wasn’t on my new year’s resolutions because I thought it was impossible but it wasn’t

  • Aww, setting goals as a family is such a great idea!! And you guys did awesome with your 2021 goals. 🙂 Good luck this year!

  • You guys did great last year – some big goals achieved – like the dream home! Well done.

  • It’s great that your family sets goals together. Congratulations on purchasing your first family home in October.
