Mama’s Mission of the Month

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.
MamasMission I have discovered that one of the benefits of blogging is that in some strange kind of way, it helps to hold me accountable. If I blog about doing something, I am more likely to make sure that it gets done…which is why I have decided to start up Mama’s Mission of the Month. Basically, I will post about what I want to accomplish for that specific month. The following month I will post about my accomplishments and what I plan to accomplish for the upcoming month.

This is really a means of holding myself accountable so that I can get more things checked off of my never-ending-to-do-list! However, you are all more than welcome to join in with me! On the 1st of each month I will put up my Mission of the Month post along with a linky for you to join in. The linky will stay up until the 7th of the following month. Please be sure to link up your Mission of the Month post and NOT your home url. Only other requirements? You must be a mama and all missions MUST be clean. Inappropriate missions will be deleted.

To make it a little more fun, I have created little buttons that you can use as you wish in your post! Everyone loves to be able to check something off of their to-do list, right?!?!?! {In the future, you can quickly grab the buttons from the Buttons Tab on the top right of the sidebar.}

And in the HOPEFULLY you will never need to use the button below! But, for those special situations where you need a little grace, here it is!
 
Mama Jenn

In your post, please either link back to Mama Jenn, where Mama’s Mission of the Month is hosted or use one or both of the buttons above so that we can help hold each other accountable in accomplishing our missions!!!

Your mission can be as big or as small as you would like it to be…just be sure that it is something that you can realistically accomplish! Now, I must be clear, this is meant to encourage you to accomplish some of those things that you may not have otherwise accomplished. This is NOT intended to bring condemnation of any sort! If you don’t accomplish your mission…no worries…give it a shot the following month.

So, if you want to join in, go ahead and decide what you want to accomplish for the upcoming month and get your post together. The linky will go up each month on the 1st and you will have until the 7th to link up your Mission of the Month post.

  3. Don't have a blog but my mission for the next month is to invetory my house and books so that we have documention for insurance purposes. All this will be documented o a software I got free online for the household invetory and purchased at a nominal cost for the books. Great idea.

  6. How do you link back using the code? Is it a link, picture, etc??

  7. Hi Christie!!! If you use the html code, it will create the button that you see above it. The button (when clicked) will link back to my blog. So, if you just add the button in your Mission of the Month post, it will link back automatically for you. However, when I post the very first actual Mama's Mission of the Month post tomorrow, there will be a linky at the end of the post. You will be able to link YOUR Mission of the Month post up to it by using the URL of your Mission of the Month post. Does that make sense? If you are planning to participate, it may be helpful to see what it looks like tomorrow. If you have trouble, let me know and I will try to help out! :-)

  9. My mission of the month was to take a break from homeschooling my (just turned) 3 year old. Get some relaxation and rest and purchase and prepare new materials to get back to homeschooling for the new year
