I am hoping that my resolutions are things that are beneficial to myself and my family.
- Take a vacation. With my family. Without electronic gadgets that distract us from one another.
- Read more books. I am going to try to read at least 1 book per month. For fun. Or at least listen to an audiobook while working out.
- Take my kids camping at least 1x this summer.
- Teach my oldest child how to use my sewing machine.
- Complete at least 5 of the projects I have pinned on Pinterest. Make sure some of these projects are ones I can do with my kids.
- Maintain my weight. Yes, I would love to lose 10-15, but maintenance after a major weight loss if often hard enough.
- Bike a minimum of 500 miles once the ice clears off the roads. Fritz will be able to ride in a trailer or a bike seat this year, so this might become a possibility.
- Learn more patience and communicate more effectively with my kids, even when they are ticking me off.
- Swear a bit less. Gain a new favorite word.
- Hug more, yell less.
- Eat at least 1 serving of vegetables every day.
- Drink at least 2 qts of water a day.
- Meditate more.
- Go out with my husband and no children at least once a quarter. We have a great relationship and I want to be sure to nourish it. More "special married people time" too.
- Get better about making self-care a priority: annual physical, skin check (due to the cancer scare), hair trims, dentist, eye appointment, etc.
- Start caring for my skin nightly.... this face ain't gettin' any younger.
- Play more games with my kids. Edie kicked my butt in Yahtzee the other day and it was FUN.
- Watch all the Harry Potter movies with Amelia. She would love this.
- Pay off the credit cards. I hate wasting money on interest payments. That is money we could be having fun with.
I think this is a good start. There are millions of ways that I can improve myself, but I will start with babysteps.
