I’m sorry for the lack of a vlog this morning. I really did try – I tried six times, in fact, and each time my camera malfunctioned. So, I ran out of time to vlog (since I’d have to edit, upload, post, etc.). Thus, our Caffeinated Conversations today are vlog-less.

As I mentioned in last week’s vlog, the 3in30 Challenge is no longer being hosted here on my blog. It has a home of its own!
Since the 3in30 Challenge is no longer taking up my Friday post, I decided that it was time for me to live “intentionally” and jump back into the challenge myself. So, I’ve chosen three goals for the month of May, and I’d love for you to help keep me accountable!

{#1} – #HelloMornings
The month of April reeked havoc on my morning routine as we were gone three out of the four weekends and the better half of one week. I’ve been struggling to get back into a routine, so I’m jumping back into the #Hellomornings challenge that is starting up on May 15th. {Join us!!} My goal is to be getting out of bed by 6am consistently by the end of the month and to start running again, at least 3x a week. I have a 5K (and possibly a mini-marathon if I’m in shape) I’d like to run in the fall, so I want to get myself in shape now!

{#2} – Kids’ Clothes
Since we live in a climate where we have three seasons of winter (cold) and one season of summer (hot), we’re all set on the long pants and long sleeves front. However, as the days have slowly been getting warmer, I’ve realized that my kids have no summer clothes. My goal is to have a summer wardrobe put together for both of them by the end of the month. This means getting up on Friday/Saturday mornings to hit garage sales and making treks to the store to fill in the gaps.

{#3} – Homeschool Curriculum
Though our homeschooling was a bit lax over the past year or so as I went back to school myself {P.S. I’m DONE as of this past Wednesday!!}, I’m planning to be back to formal homeschooling in the fall (if not sooner). My goal is to have a first grade curriculum picked out and ready to go by the end of this month, since May-September equals chaos at our house (more so than the other months). I’ve started doing some research, but I haven’t made any decisions. I need to break through my indecisiveness and get my curriculum together!

Will you help keep me accountable in realizing these three goals this month? I’d welcome any/all encouragement and accountability you’d like to offer… whether through Twitter, Facebook, email, comments, etc!
