Hoping everyone had a magical holiday season and a great New Year!
I have started typing this post so many times and have no
idea where to start. Where the heck have I been? I am sorry for neglecting you.
Seems like schedules took over and left me hanging on for dear life! Between
soccer, scouts, work, appointments, I have put my blog last and have really
missed it.
As the New Year comes around I have spent time reflecting on
last year and what I can improve on. While last year was a great year with
watching the boys grow, going part time at work, and adding to the family (see
picture below), there are still ways to make this year better.
Normally, resolution making is not on my agenda. There is
just too much pressure on them and by March they have been thrown to the waste
side and you’re left feeling disappointed. However, after the last year
sweeping me up, I need to make some goals and keep them!
First off I will be posting once a week in the blog. I
already have a schedule for each month and will be sticking to it. Last year
posting 4 times a week while working full time and shuffling the kids around
was unrealistic. This plan is much more practical.
Secondly, after spending the majority of last year eating
pizza and chicken nuggets, I need to start living a health life. Notice I did
not say go one a diet. This is about being healthy and taking care of
myself. If a few pounds drop off,
great! I am going to cook again more often and even freeze meals and just
reheat them as I go. Along with eating healthy, I am going to get my butt in
gear, even if it is just going for a walk. No excuses, especially seeing our
newest family member needs it.
Lastly my life needs to be more organized and decluttered. I
purchased the Erin Condren
Life Planner back in September. I cannot sing its praises enough. Besides
being stylish, it keeps all our weekly activity on one page and makes it easy
to refer too. I LOVE IT! I have also decided to create a Home Management
binder. I found some great free printables from www.organizinghomelife.com. It has
everything from cleaning schedules and meal planning tools to budgeting
worksheets and important number charts. It is going to be so refreshing having
everything in one place rather than rummaging through the house for it.
What are your goals for the New Year?
