Will the New Year brings a lot of reflection. What we have done, what we want to do, what we messed up, and how we want to do things differently. I am no different. Although I haven’t flushed out all my goals for the year I do have a few things I want to focus on this year. To see my list from last year you can click here.
1. Finances – Build up my savings and pay down my car loan.
2. Fitness – I want to do a few races but I really need to figure out which ones. I would love to do an obstacle style race.
3. De-clutter – I do this year round but I really want to work on one room a month and really get rid of a lot.
4. Travel More – Obviously this is depending on how well I do on #1 but I would love to travel a bit and maybe meet some blogger girls!
5. Time Management – I am always feeling overwhelmed and taking on more and more things without consideration to if I have time to do it. It always gets done but I would like to be more efficient and plan more to stress less.
That is it for now but I know I will be adding to it throughout the year.
What are some of your goals?

In celebration of the 1 Year Anniversary of Till Then Smile Often and Wonder What’s Next we joined forces to give back. We teamed up with three other amazing bloggers to giveaway a $75 Target or Visa Gift Card (Winner’s Choice) to one lucky winner!I am so grateful for what this past year has given me through blogging and the amazing people I have met and talked to through blogging. I look forward to what this next year brings and all the things I hope to share. Good luck!
My kids playing together and having fun.
Those would make me smile too! Kids are just the cutest things!
Finding a good bargain!!
That is a good one! I love a good sale!
My new pup right now! He’s so big and silly and is getting along great with my other dog! 🙂
Puppies are the best!! What breed did you get? I am so wanting a second pup but afraid of jealousy. Glad yours are getting along!
I got a bull mastiff! Lol. Courtesy of my boyfriend! I am so thankful he’s getting along with my little pomchi! 🙂
Great goals! I forgot to link to the giveaway, I’ll do that now. I put the whole thing in a post for Saturday. Happy blogiversary!
Thanks! I really need to define them more but I re-write them a lot through the year. So glad you are a part of the giveaway. Thank you!
Great goals! Spending time with family makes me smile 🙂
Thank you! Family is so important so glad to see they are at the top of your list for making you smile.
Spending time with my family. My little niece who has a health issue just enjoying herself with her brothers and wanting to be part of the gang.
Sorry to hear about your niece. Hope she gets better and I will keep her in my prayers.
Saving/getting out of debt is a huge priority for me this year. Thanks for hosting the giveaway- winning that would help 🙂
Saving is high on my list too, so many home repairs this year! Good luck!
My kids make me smile every day 🙂
Love that one! Kids are so sweet and innocent. Watching them explore and experiencing the little things are so great!
Spending time with my hubs! We stay so busy so time for just us is rare!
That is a good one! Good quality time with the ones you love are essential.
YOU make me smile! 🙂 No joke. 🙂
You are too sweet! Thank you. I have my bad days so don’t go unfollowing me for breaking your rules! 🙂
Such a great list of goals!! I wish I lived closer I would make you talk me into doing races with you
Thanks! We should virtually train together and then do a race on the same weekend to motivate each other!!
love the goals friend! and i think what makes me smile is diet cokes, is that sad?
Not at all!!! I love diet coke! I always have one after my coffee, then I switch to water so I feel less guilty. 🙂
My dogs make me smile!
Dogs are the best! What breeds?
Yay!! Almost 200 entries already. I would say it’s a successful giveaway. 🙂
Thank goodness!! Makes me feel like I was worrying for nothing but I wanted to make it good more so for you guys who helped me put it together than for myself. Can’t thank you enough for joining me.
Watching my kids get along! They’re at the age where they tend to fight quite a lot, but we had 3 good days and it was AWESOME! Nothing better than watching my kids enjoy one another’s company!
My child makes me smile
That is so sweet and totally worth many smiles!
Coffee, a good workout, my dog, frozen yogurt, my family, George 🙂
Those are all worth smiling about! Especially dogs but I am partial to them anyways! 😉
My hubby can always make me smile no matter what. 🙂
That is so sweet and totally smile worthy!
Lately it’s been hanging out with friends. They’re a funny group
Sounds like a good group. Hold on tight to them. Good girlfriends are the best! I have had the same best friends since I was 2 and I wouldn’t trade them for the world!
Totally worth a smile. Good luck!
Time management is the bane of my existence because I love sleep too much. If you find a trick, please share it! And my cat who hasn’t left my side makes me smile all the time!
It is a tough one!! I juggle so many things and do well with it, but I know I can be better especially with the blog. I am always prepping posts the night before and not planning weeks ahead. Seriously pets are the best medicine for any bad day, or really any day for that matter! 🙂
My two kids and husband make me smile! 🙂
Family is so important and worthy of a smile!
My hubby and anyone I see smile makes me smile. 🙂 It’s true. … Smiles are contagious. 🙂
They truly are contagious! It can really lightens someones day when they receive a smile! Glad to see you are passing them on!
Happy 1 year!! Hooray for de-cluttering, I love it so much! I’m just out of things to de-clutter lol
Thank you! Time sure has flown by! I de-clutter year round but I think you would have me beat ten fold!! You are the Queen of de-cluttering:)
I can’t just say one thing that makes me smile- lots do! Happy Blogiversary!
xx Kait
So true!! There is always something to be smiley about everyday! Thank you, it has been quite a journey!
My dogs make me smile! They follow me around the house and act like I am the queen of the world! 🙂
Dogs are the best! They really think the world of us, and we think the world of them. Its a perfect balance in my book! 😉
Music makes me smile
The right song can really brighten your day! Good answer!
My kids make me smile with the things they say and do.
Can’t can say the funniest things! Very good answer!
Deep cleaning one room a month in the house, what a good idea. I think I might use that one!! 🙂
I think it makes it so much more manageable that way. It really is a must for me this year!
Being with my friends makes me smile!
Good friends are hard to come by but can bring the most laughs.
i’ve already done 2 of my 4 goals so i’m on my way. we’ll see how potato-like i look on monday LOL.
So impressed. You jumped right in girl! I wouldn’t expect anything less though from you.
being with my family and boyfriend!
Family is so important. Good choice!
These goals look great! I love de-cluttering. I really wish some people would let me come into their homes and just get rid of bags of stuff they’ll never use again.
You are more than welcome to come to my home any day! 😉
Those are great goals! I’m right there with you on the financial plan – it’s time to start working on my massive student debt repayment!
Thanks! Ugh student loans kill me!! I am over 10 years out of college and still have student loans! I did go out of state but still bugs me.
Kitten snuggles make me smile.
Kitten Snuggles are the best!
Happy Blogiversary. It sounds so cheesy but right now the thing that makes me smile the most is just life in general. 2013 was an amazing year and I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for me.
Thank you very much! I don’t think that is cheesy at all. Hope 2014 brings you nothing but happy times.
Its the little things. Like little notes on my FB timeline, random texts, random snail mail – I love all of those and they put a huge smile on my face.
Those are the best since it shows that they were thinking of you and took the time to show it.
My kids laughter makes me smile
Kids are the best. They can make a bad day better with the most random things they say.
I would smile if my work had been closed today like yours. So jealous!! 🙂
Don’t be I spent the day shoveling and now my back is killing me!! 🙁
