Weekend Reflections: Goals for June and May Review

Dominique Thoughts Monthly review

The exams for the boys are finally over and it’s the holiday season now. One whole month of vacations for them. It won’t be all play and no study but more play with study for the kids.  They did pretty well in school with above average marks in most subjects however it doesn’t mean I will be cutting them too much slack as I want them to maintain their current standard and improve on their academic achievements even further.

Achievements for May

 

1. I managed to take some time out to attend a painting class with the other SMB mummies.
2. Alexa ranking has remained about the same as it’s hovering around 60,000 mark.
3. I’ve added three more sponsors for the month of May with products from Nivea, Drypers and 3M.
4. I’ve planned and scheduled in activities for the kids and family for the whole of June.  There is something to occupy them almost every day for the next month 🙂
5. I’ve manage to  3 out of 5 on my May Bucket List. I haven’t gotten around to using up the Whip cream  and finishing up the books that I need  to review as the kids were having a cough and I was concentrating more on their studies in May.

Major Fail area

1. Weight has gone up to 66kg!! I really dread looking at the scales these few days. Eating too many fattening treats have resulted in this and I seriously need to try to restrain myself better.
2. The year end  2012/2013 photobook has yet to be done and I schedule it to be done before June.
3. I still have to de-clutter a few parts of the house which I hope to do so by end of June.
