Happy New Year! It's that time of year when every blog goes one of two ways. They either tell you HOW to make new goals for the year, or they tell you WHAT the goals are. Well, I am certainly not telling you how. You can go to Simple Mom or Organizing Your Way for that. No weight loss goals or eating goals here. You can go to The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans for that. And I certainly don't talk about budget goals. Better luck checking out Nikki at Domestic Cents or Money Saving Mom. For parenting goals it is best to read Megan at Simple Kids' ideas for engaged parenting (excellent, if I might add).
No, you won't find any of that here. Here you'll find my modest lists of things I'll do this year. Not resolutions, not exactly goals. Just a list I hope to complete early in the year and move on to other things. So here you have it.
What I'll read, and actually finish reading this year:
The Bible in 90 Days. I'm starting today.
Crazy Love
The Irresistible Revolution
Three Cups of Tea
and hopefully a fluff book or two thrown in if I can.
What I'll sew:
Crate covers for our toy crates
A shirt for myself, imagine that.
A skirt or two for myself. Double imagine that!
And hopefully much more...
What I'll learn:
How to use lighting in photography
How use my serger for more than just a basic stitch
What I'll organize:
Our learning and craft cabinets. Oy!
Our basement. Double oy!
To ski. Oddly enough, I've only been skiing once in my life.
What I'll make:
My almost 5 year old's baby book. I'm hoping to start it soon and finish before she turns 5!
Our 2009 photo book. And the plan is to get it done before December this year.
That's it. That's all I'm committing to. Now I'm going to go eat more of this:
Incidentally, I did a taste test of different peppermint bark recipes and this one is my favorite. Phenomenal. Way more than just a couple layers of chocolate and oh so easy.
