2013 Goals/Resolutions



After each new year, there are always things we say we are going to do, or not do, and then it's forgotten about shortly after.  

Here are some things I am really going to work hard to accomplish/work on.  


1.  Stop cussing.  
This is something I need to work on.  Most of the time I don't even realize I'm doing it until it's already out of my mouth.  That's not a good thing, especially with little ears around.  

2.  Lose weight
I was doing really well last year.  I changed things that needed to be changed, exercised, drank more water, etc.  I just always seem to get bored or unmotivated after a while and then quit.  This time, I'm going to stick with it and work toward a healthier me!  Will you all help keep me motivated?  ;)

3.  Go back to school
I am going to go back and finish my college education.  

4.  Be a better cook
Let's face it.... me and pretty much anything that would go in a kitchen *do not* get along.  It's pretty sad, haha.  I'm determined to be better though!  

5.  Try more crafty things
Crafting and DIY just may never really be my thing, but I want to at least try.  There are tons of wonderful ideas on pinterest on crafty things to do, especially as gifts, but I've always been too scared to try them.  I'm not a crafty person by nature.  

6.  Go on a family vacation
We have never been on a family vacation, other than a weekend away over the 4th of July in 2011.  I would love to take the boys to the beach.  I know they would just love it there.  I sure do!  

7.  Work on my marriage
My relationship with Eric definitely still needs some work.  I want us to get past all of these issues we've had and get back to the way things were before all of the bad things started happening.  

8.  Save money
I would love to be able to save some money to use in case of emergency or things like that.  It seems like there is always something coming up though that takes all the extra money we have and we're unable to save anything.  Hopefully this year will be different so we can start to build up a "cushion".  

9.  Spend more one-on-one time with the boys

10.  Be more organized. 
I'm definitely going to look into some ideas on Pinterest for getting better organized around here.





What are some of your goals or resolutions for 2013?

  2. Great resolutions! Getting crafty and doing more DIY things will be fun :) Try doing it with a friend...crafting with a friend always seems to be more fun and it helps to bounce ideas off each other. Happy New Year!

  3. This is a great list and I'm glad you added some fun things to it. A lot of people make such strenuous lists that involve so rigid schedules and total seriousness. I look forward to seeing your DIY projects. Creativity is awesome. :)
