Our family starts every new year making a list of things we want to do differently. On the 1st of every year, we tell each other what those goals are and try to hold each other accountable. This year, I thought it would be fun to write them down and share them with our readers and then look back at the end of 2019 to see how many of our goals were achieved, how many we are still working on and how many we gave up on and why. The only requirement I had was that we make goals that are realistic, so that we have a real shot of achieving them. Here are our family’s 2019 goals.

This is great that you list all your family goals by family member. I do somethign like this at the beginning of the school year for my children and try to help them set life and school goals. I should do this for my husband and myself too.
It sounds like you guys all have some really great goals. My goal this year was not to make any goals LOL.
I love that you guys sit down as a family and create goals. This is a really awesome idea, and a wonderful way to bring in the new year.
I love that you are all setting goals as a family! I also love that you’re setting goals and not making resolutions. Resolutions are made to be broken, goals aren’t.
It sounds like you all have some great goals for this year. I definitely need to do this with my family so that we can have some ideas of what we achieve during the year.
How beautifully you have written this article and the goals you have mentioned for 2019 is super cool. Thank you for the great article.
This is really a good post to read and how a family is really important to us. You have done this job so beautifully and i am very much impressed with your work!
