Boards (or lists) of Ambition


This was a lot of fun. We made a "List of Ambition" for our house. But you can do this as a couple or a family for ambitions you have for places you want to go, talents to develop, characteristics you want to have in yourself, where you want to be or what you want to have in "x" amount of years, etc. Braden's brother inspired us with his board of ambition. He has a picture on his board of the house he wants someday, the car he wants, where he wants to go to college, etc.

For example, we want a porch swing once we extend the length of our porch.

We would like to put window boxes below our windows.

We want to put these pretty moldings above our bedroom windows.

We want to get an outdoor outlet put on the house.

We want to paint in our kitchen...

Stuff like that.

I think this would be really fun and good to do with kids. You get to teach them about goal setting whether it's for something of monitary value or spiritual or something they want to develop about themselves. Then they get to learn how to work towards those goals and see the end result. Plus you get to see what their ambitions are! It's fun to learn these things about your spouse too.
