It is the anniversary of when I started blogging. It has been 5 years since I started this blog. When I started out I had huge goals, I ran into what I wanted my goals for my blog to be the other day. I have kept notebooks of all my ideas and thoughts. <\/p>\n<p>Those goals were to do gross motor posts and find a way to make my blog help other people who might have the same struggles as my family does.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back I would love to say that I might have done some of my goals. I have not done as much gross motor post as I would like. And I think that might change. It is not well known, but my degree is in Physical Education and is what I did for a while. I think kids and moving should be fun and creative. I can see me doing more posts for this&#8230;so keep an eye out for them!<\/p>\n<p>I would also love to hear how 3 Dinosaurs has helped YOU in the last 5 years! What has been the most help for you? And what would you love to see in the next year?<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to hear your answers.<\/p>\n<div align=\"Center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/2-2017\/february2017goalsblog.jpg\" alt=\"February 2017 Monthly Goals - 3Dinosaurs.com\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Each month I have three different areas that I work on: Blog, Family, and Personal. Why have three areas? Because there are the three essential parts of my life and each has different goals.<\/p>\n<p>Each month the list change or stay the same because I need those reminders that I can check off. I&#8217;ve been filling the bigger goals on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/goals-for-january-2017-and-free-2017-calendar\/\">monthly calendar<\/a> so I can always look at them.
