How is the new year going for all of you? I hope it’s starting out very well!!
Do any of you have specific goals or resolutions this year? I haven’t really thought too much on it since I’ve been through so much and life seems to still be chaotic for me. Between listing our house, selling our house, moving, THEN DH getting a job, moving again, starting a homeschool playgroup, taking over a local moms group, starting our first year of Girl Scouts, finding out baby #4 is on the way, finding a care provider, travelling more than I have in the past 10 years combined, and getting this blog going again…. WHEW!! I have been busy and I don’t see it slowing down any time soon!
I think I’ll put some effort into achieving some goals, though. One goal is to start trying to look a little nicer. I’ve been working on this some over the past month – either with a little bit of makeup, wearing jewelry, or trying to wear more flattering clothes. I feel better when I put in at least a littttttttttle effort. 🙂
Another goal is to work on fostering some friendships. New or old, I have to have friends. I’m hitting that point in my pregnancy where I feel very lonely and unimportant and I am doing my best to combat those feelings. I go through it each time. Hopefully that’ll start looking up more as well!
I also would love to get my son potty trained this year. He’s showing all sorts of interest at 27 months. He was showing interest before we moved and again before his 2nd birthday, but with all the transitions and changes it has been impossible to be consistent. I’m trying to work on it now so maybe we can be well on our way by the time the baby gets here!
I’d like to work on working out more again, too. I always feel so much better when I do. I want to get in on it as a family if possible. Around here, there are so many beautiful parks and nature centers with walking trails. I need to take advantage!
With homeschooling, I want to stay more consistent and keep the kiddos moving forward. Grace is in 1st and my only true student… I’m working on basically making sure she’s doing reading and math every day we do school… plus other things, of course, but I’m focusing on those. She loves to draw and write, so we’re also working on that and spelling as she completes books and other projects.
I would also like to get back to some solid blogging. More posts like THIS – just me, being me… Writing because I want to, not because I *have* to get a giveaway post up by a certain deadline. Does this mean I’m done with giveaways and review? YEAH RIGHT! I will continue to do those, obviously.. but I really want to talk more about my life and share myself with you guys! I love the friendships and advice and community that goes along with authenticity. 🙂
What are your goals this year???
