My March Goals Update – Week 3 of 4
Hi there! This series shares my goals, bucket list items, and progress made.
This Month’s Goals
My March goals were influenced by spring cleaning and renewal vibes. I also used spring bucket list ideas for inspiration. For background on each goal, see the goals from March Week 1 >>

1. Make a New Vision Board
I made progress with this by writing out specific goals for work, health, and family. One week left to show the visuals!
A few mental and physical health goals are:
- 1.5-2 hours of physical activity a day: (Broken up throughout the day, and can be walking)
- Morning gratitude
- Once a week Epsom salt bath
- Limiting drinking to 2 nights a week after the 30-day challenge is over.
2. Read My March Challenge Book
The Book is: Killers of the Flower Moon
Alright, I’m halfway through the book and holy guacamole. How is this story real?!?!
The criminal mastermind behind it gives me chills.

3. Clean out A Crazy Kid Room
I made great progress, but I’m not marking it done until I go through her clothes too.
The hardest part was distracting her while I “put away” the piles and piles of old papers.
4. Get Back to Gratitude Writing
I’m on a 5 day streak and it feels good! Some days are harder than others, but today I was thankful for…
- A fresh start. A new week with new beginnings.
- Flexibility in our schedule. We’re very lucky in this, especially when the kids are home from school.
- Oat milk. Which I’ve found to be a nice touch in my coffee lately.
5. Have a Little Holiday Fun With the Kids
We did the St. Patrick’s Day Hunt. It was a HUGE hit! After, my youngest child hid the clues for me as well.
Due to this massive success, I think we’ll do the Easter Scavenger Hunt in a few weeks too.
6. Watch a Documentary (12 for the Year)
I heard about the J.Lo documentary and now I want to watch it on Prime! Have you seen it?
It’s like she’s aging backward….
7. Complete a “Dry” March
I’m missing wine, but otherwise it’s felt really good to take a break.
8. Finish Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls
We’ve read three nights this week and the girls are absolutely loving these short stories.
9. Visit a new Coffee Shop
Done! I wish I’d taken a picture, but it was a fancy brunch place we stopped at in Austin, Texas. Our family of five was so out of place. And we had no idea it would be what it was – a health restaurant.
But the food was excellent and I was glad we got to try new things. The kids in particular can be a little picky with food. In this case, they had no choice but to try the mushroom tacos, falafel, and Thai wraps if they wanted to eat. 😂 It made it a memorable experience!
I’ll update you every Monday to share how I’m doing with these goals.
Until next week,
Jenn Kropf
