The Challenge

Alright due to some uh, technical difficulties, we are showing you our summer project a few days late, but we still want you to join us! Our summer project is to set goals in five different areas in our lives. They are weekly goals that last for five weeks starting June 20^th . We wanted to use our time usefully during our summer months and as four girls fresh out of school, it can be tempting to waste it reading or sleeping. Without some structure the summer and all our big plans slip away before we even know what happened.

The categories

·         Reading

·         Home making

·         Exercise

·         Memorization

·         Health

·         Did we miss anything? (If you think we did please email us J)

Each of these will have different levels. We do not expect ten year olds for instance to do the same as seventeen year olds. Sooo we decided it would be fun to each make separate goals in these categories, but feel free to modify them to fit YOUR goals. I’m now going to give Meg her time to share the quiz she created for you.

Megan here. Welcome to the blog everyone J I’m here to give you the nitty gritty details of our summer challenge, including a fun quiz that you can use to develop your very own custom challenge.

We’ll be completing 4 weeks of this challenge beginning on June 27.
