Family Life Goals Worksheet

Well, as you can see, I did not get on last night to post my goals. Bedtime did not go like planned at all and by the time both girls were fast asleep, hubby came home. We hardly get alone time, so I hate to be on the computer when I can be snuggling with him. Not that he is much of a snuggler. :0) I did read, however, the section in Emilie Barnes' book More Hours in My Day on Family Life Goals. She has a worksheet that you (and your husband if you are married) should fill out because as she puts it, "Success doesn't come by luck or accident; it comes because individuals dream, set goals, and then schedule, plan, and accomplish." And I am determined to have a successful and purpose driven home! I am not really sure how to attach files yet, so I will list out the sections you are supposed to fill out below. Hubby and I are going to sit down tonight and dream our life goals together and I'll be back tomorrow to share them with you! Hopefully you can share yours as well!

This is the sample she uses in her book More Hours in My Day.

GOOD LUCK!
