Comments on: My 2017 quarterly goals (and how I did on my quarterly goals in 2016) https://lauravanderkam.com/2016/12/my-2017-quarterly-goals-and-how-i-did-in-2016/ Writer, Author, Speaker Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:01:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Caitlin https://lauravanderkam.com/2016/12/my-2017-quarterly-goals-and-how-i-did-in-2016/#comment-33756 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 20:59:51 +0000 http://lauravanderkam.staging.wpengine.com/?p=6408#comment-33756 Another option might be Bermuda–it’s further north than the Caribbean islands (east of the Carolinas, I think) so they have not yet had issues with Zika. We went there on a cruise and it was really nice, although I don’t know that I recommend cruising through the stormy North Atlantic. Since it is more northern it’s not quite as warm as other places, but a quick search showed it is usually in the 70s in March.

A couple people mentioned Jamaica, but it is most definitely affected by Zika. It might not be as devastating as some places but it is there. I just went there on my honeymoon and it was fantastic, but my OB/GYN said definitely wait six months before trying to get pregnant.

In Jamaica the beach houses also have a cook and cleaning person. We rented a house on the beach with a pool and a fabulous cook. We loved spending family time together in such a beautiful place. We also ate more traditional Jamaican food than we would have ever had at a resort. Tip – Bring grandparents or an aunt to help with watching the kids. We left the beach house three times in a week. It was so wonderful because I didn’t have to cook or clean up throughout the week. This is still my kids favorite vacation memory.

Even though I’ve listened to it 2x through on audible I need to support. Your advice has changed my life- thanks!

The left hand is doing things rhythm-wise that are completely different from what the right hand is doing! Good luck, once you find your sheet music! I bought a dress pattern for my 2-year-old granddaughter a week and a half ago, and it has disappeared! It will turn up eventually.

I also like this simple goal technique & have had my family “fill in the blank” using your format. Looking forward to the new book – congrats! I ordered since I know the 1st week really counts – have a family member who is a author. Re: vacation, I am a travel advisor & book a lot of families. Hawaii is great, I book there often and went for my honeymoon 2016. I don’t know how much time you have, but far to go from PHL w/ kids. If kids don’t have passports US Vigin Islands & Puerto Rico are options. I’ve had several families go, no issues w/ Zika. If kids passports Jamica has great all-inclusives w/ fabulous kids programs, same with Mexico. Non-stop flights from PHL, affordable, and again, I ve not had any families have issues w/Zika. Cruise is an option also – lots of fun for the kids. Good luck & thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Feeling slightly superstitious as well, not wanting to plan too much before the scan (2 weeks). But this quarter, I’d like to:

Career: Finish my final draft of my PhD
Relationships: Plan a fun day trip with my husband
Self: Get back to my 2-3x/week yoga practice (studio is strict about no yoga in first tri)
Home: Make a plan for what needs to be done around the house (organisation, purchases, painting)

Come to Hawaii! And please do some talks or book signings while you’re here 🙂
