    We’ve got similar goals this year! I’m saving for a house deposit, I’ve started a happy book writing one happy thing that’s happened each day and I’m aiming to read 52 books this year

  2. what cool challenges to take part it. I guess the up side to being random musings is you can do random things like the april a-z. I’m not sure if i could fit this in with the series and features on my blog but it would be an interesting thing to do. I remember finding you in april when you were doing the a-z 🙂

  3. These are great goals to have! The A-Z challenge sounds good but I will have to look into first before I decide if that’s something that would fit into my blog. Can you send me the info on it or the sign up website? I am still thinking about what goals I want to set this year. I have a few but I have to really decided and specify for myself what they are going to involve so that I can accomplish them! #anythinggoes

    • Thank you 🙂 That’s what I like about the challenge, it can fit any blog. You can choose any theme you want, or just post random without a theme, as long as the topic you choose relates to that days letter. I’ll tweet you the link 🙂 Good luck with setting your goals!

    Wow! I’m loving the ambition you have this 2016, Deb! These are really neat challenges. I especially like the Happy Jar one. What a great way to ensure that you see positvity in every day of your life. It’ll be wonderful to read those notes next year. #AnythingGoes

    I love these challenges! Great picks. For me, this year, my challenges are:
    1) Get my toddler to sleep through the night.
    2) Make baby number 2. This ones proving to be quite a challenge so far.

    I loved all the A-Z challenge posts that I read last year and was bummed that I didn’t know about it until it was too late to try and catch up so that is definitely one that I will be partaking in this year. I also just want to challenge myself to keep a weekly blog post planner and stay more organized with my blog. It was nice to take a step back into the beginning of how I first started blogging. To connect with people via WordPress and the daily post. Happy 2016 Debbie! 💌Trista

    The 50 books challenge sounds my sort of thing, a book a week shouldnt be too much trouble, though I read less now I am blogging. #Anythinggoes

  8. Sounds like some really fun and interesting challenges for 2016. The A to Z sounds particularly good, but posting every day wouldn’t be possible for me. I hope you enjoy it though. I’ll keep my eye out in April. Good luck with it all!

    These look fun to do! I would love to do the Books and Happy Jar Challenge! I love reading but I don’t think I have read 50 AFTER I had kids LOL. And the Happy Jar would be a very good food for the soul. Look forward to seeing how you go with your challenges, especially the blogging one!

  10. There are some good challenges here and they are challenging! The book one especially. My patience is shot so I’ve been reading more comics than books lately and have been really enjoying the wide range of stories and genres.

    We have saving jars for loose change and one for £2 coins but we’ve been a bit lazy with it (and also not much change!) so your post is a good reminder to get more disciplined.

    My own challenge this year I haven’t really thought about yet but you’ve given me a kick to do so now!

    All these challenges look like fun. I really must do the savings plan one, think it would be a great one to pass on to the kids when they’re older too #AnythingGoes

  12. Great challenges!! I have also set myself the savings jar and the 50 book challenge! So far I have zero in the savings jar but have read two books! I’m thinking I may have to deposit a monthly amount in the savings jar which defeats the object but still….points for trying!! Thanks for hosting!! #anythinggoes

    Love all of these. I never have cash other wise I would do the savings jar challenge. I like the idea of a happy thoughts box and I am going to look into the A-Z challenge I think. Good luck with all your challenges 🙂 xx #anythinggoes

    Some fab ideas and challenges here! Wow 50 books! Wish I could read that much, I’m rubbish! I love the savings jar challenge idea, I saw this idea last year and thought it would be a good one! X

  15. I’m with you on the first two, I have my savings pot and also our memory jar. However our jar ends up turning into a box and a carrier bag full of stuff. We just chuck everything in and then I put it all on a picture. Bit behind with that this year. I love the sound of A-Z challenge, would be interested in that. Good luck, you shall be a busy lady.

    Great challenges! The money one is a really good idea! I kept seeing posts that were for the A-Z challenge when I started blogging last April, but didn’t know what it was. Not sure I could manage to write a post a day though! #anythinggoes

  17. These are five great challenges Debbie! The 50 books will be no problem for you – you are such a great reader! I love the idea of the happiness jar or zip lock (lol). And, the savings jar for Christmas – I might steal those two 🙂 Thanks so much for hosting x

  18. Go you! I’ve got no challenges or ambitions for 2016, other than to keep all members of my household alive, fed and maybe clean. Maybe. #anythinggoes

  19. This sounds interesting and a lot of fun although I’m rubbished to stick to things!! I will probable give up half way through!! LOL The one that caught my eye was the one of writing a good thing that happened to you every day and put it in a jar. It would be cool to read back all these thoughts at the end of the year! Good luck with these challenges. Thanks for hosting, 🙂 xx

  20. I’ve sent myself some stretch targets for blog stats / social media etc which will be a big challenge but other than having baby number 2 I’ve not done any others all though I really like the sound of the A-Z one 🙂 good luck I am sure you will do them all #AnythingGoes xx
