New Years Resolution Update

Hey everyone!  As I was cleaning out a drawer last week, I found my resolution list that had fallen off the refrigerator.  Maybe not the best place for my list, but it is now back on the fridge and in sight.  I thought I would post about my progress so far this year - just to help keep me accountable.  :)  Here what we have done so far this year:

  1. Go on a family vacation - we are going on a family float trip this weekend!  So excited!
  2. Focus on healthy eating and exercising. - the healthy eating is going better than the exercising, but I know I need to do it more for baby.  I have so much more energy when I add a little exercise in each day.
  3. Organize my recipes - I just started on this this week.  My goal is to transfer them all to the same book, instead of digging through post-its each time I am looking for a recipe.
  4. Scrapbook/keep an album of Cooper up-to-date - doing really well with this.  I have all of the photos printed out up to his first bday.  I just need to purchase another album to put them in.  :)
  5. Study for (and possibly take) the praxis in another subject area - maybe MS English or Social Studies - I think that the Lord is leading me in another direction, so I am going to scrap this one.
  6. Start to teach Cooper Spanish and sign language - Cooper is really starting to pick up the sign language.  He can sign please and more.  The Spanish is a different story.  I use it a little each day, but I need to up the amount of time I speak it each day - I am getting pretty rusty, so it will help both of us.
  7. Read my Bible everyday - I was doing really good until the morning sickness kicked in, and I haven't gotten back into a regular habit again yet.  This is something I need to work on. 
  8. Stay within our budget and save like crazy - having a baby doesn't exactly help with the saving, but we are working really hard to stay in our budget. 
  9. Continue with my flower garden and start a vegetable garden - My flower bed is doing pretty well - I even planted a few annuals.  I decided to start small with the veggies this year, so I planted two tomato plants in pots.  My cherry tomatoes are doing really well; my romas are another story ...



 How are you doing on your resolutions this year?

  1. Hmmm...I don't remember mine and have no idea where I wrote them down, so that's probably not a good sign. :) You are doing great! Play date monday morning. Yay!
