It’s officially summer — well, at least school is no longer in session! I know the actual first date of summer isn’t until later in June. But with school being out, we have a very different rhythm and schedule for our days. Because of that, I decided to set goals for the entire summer instead of just for one month at a time.
As many of you know (if you follow me on Instagram), I started strength training classes at the gym two months ago and that has been such an amazing thing! I’m not only loving it, but it’s inspiring me to really prioritize my health.
So in addition to goals for our family and business and personal goals, I’m also dubbing this the Get Stronger Summer. I set some specific goals for that and am excited to see the progress I make over the next two months!

Crystal’s Goals For Summer (to be completed by August 15, 2025)
Potty train Micah. (He’s doing so well with this that it seems this goal is going to be much easier than I thought.) 60 meals around the table together. Finish 20 books (either physical copies or audiobooks). Finish My Father’s World Kindergarten (We’re doing this over summer since Kierstyn is just loving learning right now. She already knows how to read so we’re skipping some parts and aiming to finish 2-3 weeks in one week because of this.) Finish ABC dates with Jesse (We’re on T right now and trying to do at least one date per week.) Watch 4 full seasons of shows together (either with Jesse and/or one of the older kids.) Try 8 new-to-me ideas. (I’ll be sharing the results here! Look for my first one soon — I made Lavender London Fog.) Finish The One-Hour Savings Plan product and a brand-new product to help women set up a business in 30 days. (More details coming soon!) Set up first coaching product/opportunity — stay tuned for more details on this! 300 hours outside.
Get Stronger Summer Goals (to be accomplished by August 15, 2025)
120+ grams of protein per day at least 50 days. Strength Train at least 25 times (class at gym or home workout circuit – 45-60 mins each time). 10k+ steps per day at least 50 days. 7+ hours of sleep per night at least 45 nights. Drink at least 70 oz of water at least 50 days. Track macros at least 50 days with My Fitness Pal.I am going back to using the Strides app to track these so I have one place to track them all easily. I used that last summer and in the fall and really loved it. It’s such an easy way to see where you are at with goals like this!
