Travel Goals

Dog Travel Maps

Many years ago we decided to make a weird goal – take the dog to 48 states (really hard to do Hawaii and not sure we will ever drive to Alaska). We now have 2 dogs which will add to the challenge!

In a decluttering stint of my desk, I ran across the dog travel maps. They have been updated and now we know exactly where we need to go!

Do you have weird pet goals too? Let us know! 

Our 2020 Goals

declutteringthestuff 2020 in 2020, goals , , , ,

We are a little late in posting this post!  The idea of 20 in 20 is from Melody over at The Minimalists Next Door.

Goals for 2020

  • declutter 2020 items in 2020
    • I doubt we will hit this amount but we will give it a try!
    • go through all the pictures
    • tackle the garage again
  • visit 20 public lands, hopefully spend 20 nights
    • national parks, national forests, BLM lands, state parks, county parks, etc. count.
  • do 2020 squats
    • there are plenty of squat challenges out there but with our bad knees, doing hundreds at a time seems unreasonable.  We figure we can average 5.5 per day for the year.
  • lose 20 pounds each
    • we joined WW (formerly Weight Watchers) so this should help.  We weren’t very effective without the accountability.
    • Barb has already decluttered 11.8 pounds in 2020 and John is at 8.7 pounds.  (20.5 pounds together so far in 2020!!!)
    • maybe we should check these off as decluttered boxes at the end of the year

So what are your goals for this year?  Let us know in the comments!  You might just inspire us to add a new one to our list!
