I made more lists of things I wanted to do that never happened or never got posted about. I got all my project in on time and before most of them were due. I loved that it happened. But a few other things started to slide. I am going to learn my balance for the month of April. A few things h<\/p>\n<p>These are the Monthly Goals for April for the blog:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Update my homepage to have more information and layout<\/li>\n<li>My goal is to update the Word Family CVC to make it easier to update and manage.<\/li>\n<li>Start my next Big Project &#8211; Yes I have several things in the works<\/li>\n<li>Do 3 ideas from the idea notebook.<\/li>\n<li>Get projects in on time<\/li>\n<li>Finish as much of the 2014 Summer Program as I can &#8211; Yes it takes MONTHS to make and coordinate this project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are my year only goals for 3 Dinosaurs. These are the same as last month, but it is good reminder for me to post again each month. I have been printing my posts to review during the month. I have 2 years of posts that need to be updated. It is a lot of work. I will say I did not get a how to use post in this last month. I hope to do better next month.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be at least 3 or 4 days ahead <\/li>\n<li>Work on using more SEO<\/li>\n<li>Do at least one how to use printable a month<\/li>\n<li>Use a Blog Planner to keep track of posts and ideas <\/li>\n<li>Update old post with 3 links &#038; make good Pin photo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Family Goals<\/h2>\n<p>We had a month of everyone sick and a few things did not get done. I did not do as well with laundry. I really need to work on that. I&#8217;m adding a new cleaning goal: DISHES! Plus, I did get further in getting the chores for everyone. We started small and I&#8217;ll be adding more this month. It is going to be a good month. I did start reading books at dinner time and this has been a big hit. We got more reading in and the girls started eating better.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make some cloth napkins<\/li>\n<li>Have no laundry to fold at the end of the day<\/li>\n<li>No dishes in the sink at the end of the day<\/li>\n<li>Make a menu each week &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/free-spring-weekly-menu-printable\/\" target=\"blank\">Spring Weekly menu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Work on everyone having chores<\/li>\n<li>Make a To Do List Every day &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/monthly-goals-march-2014-for-3-dinosaurs-with-printable\/\" target=\"blank\">To Do List Printable<\/a> <\/li>\n<li>Do the 30 Day of Moving with Kids Challenge (see below for more details)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Personal Goals<\/h2>\n<p>Something different is I&#8217;m going to remember my personal goals are different from family goals. I needed a big reminder about it this month. I have to not pile up everything so much that I forget me.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take personal time that is not blog or family related<\/li>\n<li>I will take time to do my OWN reading every day<\/li>\n<li>Get 5 days of a week of Fitness<\/li>\n<li>Do what I need to keep me feeling well<\/li>\n<li>Get up and get dressed with my hair done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>April&#8217;s Challenge<\/h2>\n<p>2 years ago I did a challenge called <a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/30-days-of-moving-with-kids\/\" target=\"blank\">30 Days of Moving with Kids<\/a>. The ideas was to get me moving and go with my girls. We do a lot of gross motor at our house but I don&#8217;t always do it with them. So this month I challenge you to do 30 minutes of gross motor WITH your kids. You can do your own workout, but do something every day with kids. To help with this I&#8217;m going to share some posts to give you ideas. I&#8217;ll also be posting a few new gross motor activities through the month. Plus look for a fun printable that will be coming out as well. I&#8217;ll also be sharing a lot of gross motor posts on my facebook from very talented bloggers.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/30-days-of-moving-with-kids\/\" target=\"blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/3-2012\/30daysofmoving.jpg\" alt=\"30 Days of Moving with Kids\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Here are some post to check out to help you get started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/30-days-of-moving-with-kids\/\" target=\"blank\">30 Days of Moving with Kids<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/gross-motor-printable-list\/\" target=\"blank\">Free Gross Motor Printable List<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wheels-on-the-bus-gross-motor-poppin-book-nook\/\" target=\"blank\">Wheels on the Bus Gross Motor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/dr-seuss-abcs-gross-motor\/\" target=\"blank\">Dr Seuss\u2019s ABCs \u2013 Gross Motor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/abcs-of-gross-motor-series-introduction\/\" target=\"blank\">ABCs of Gross Motor Series<\/a> Every letter has a gross motor activities you can do!<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/pompom-games\/\" target=\"blank\">Pom Pom Games<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/tag\/gross-motor\/\" target=\"blank\">All Gross Motor Posts on 3 Dinosaurs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also check out my Gross Motor and Movement Pinterest Board to find more ideas.<br \/>\n<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/cassie_osborne\/gross-motor-and-movement-activities-for-kids\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mamasmiles.com\/?tag=goals\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"monthly goals linky at mama smiles\" src=\"http:\/\/mamasmiles.com\/blog\/media\/monthlygoals.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><textarea style=\"height: 100px; width: 300px><a href=\"http:\/\/mamasmiles.com\/?tag=goals\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"monthly goals linky at mama smiles\" src=\"http:\/\/mamasmiles.com\/blog\/media\/monthlygoals.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/textarea><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\ufeff<\/p>\n<p>This is also a link!
