New Years Resolutions
Happy New Year!
I know this isn’t earth shattering, but for the most part, I want to keep doing what we are doing, with just a little tweaking!
I used these FREE downloadable pages to help me organize my goals this year.
My 6 sections are:
- Spirituality
- Marriage
- Self
- Parenting
- House
- Blog
Spirituality
I would like to add a morning Bible reading/study. I usually do this right before I go to bed, but I’d like to start my day with it as well. I am hoping this will give me the kick in the pants that I need to get out of bed earlier!
Marriage
Speak my husband’s love language and hug him for a least a minute everyday. We used to do this earlier in our marriage and have gotten away from it, I’d like to get it back!
I’d also like to have 2-3 weekends where we spend time together without the kids.
I am going to try and “plan” at least one date night a month, even if it’s watching a movie after the kids go to bed.
Self
I am going to try and make myself a priority, try to “find” myself since I’ve been feeling so lost lately.
I am going to have a once a month home spa evening.
I am going to try and workout at least 3 times per week.
I am going to make sure I take time to read everyday.
I am thinking of writing up a book proposal and I need to renew my teaching license this year.
Parenting
I want to make reading to my kids a higher priority. I want to read at least one chapter book a month to them and start a
reading with them.I am going to try and not yell as much.
We will continue with our chore training.
I will also be scheduling “dates” with the kids to make sure they get done more frequently.
I want to play at least one board game a week with my children.

I would like to get my storage room, garage, filing cabinet and kitchen more organzied.
I also want to stay on top of mail, e-mail, the office, and home organization.

I’d like to continue to blog, I just hope I’m making a difference.
I want to try and do at least 6 guest posts this year.
Try to have at least 6 giveaways this year.
I’m looking into making a membership section of my blog! 🙂 (we’ll see how this goes)
Books
These are some of the books I’d like to read this year. I do have some that are higher on my list (that I don’t have yet) so I’m hoping to obtain them and read those.

Great goals! I want to read more to my kids and I think I’ll just have to schedule that into my day until it becomes a habit.
That is great that you are going to focus on your husband’s love language. A one-minute hug can do wonders!
Reading to kids is so important and I feel guilty a lot because as a former teacher, I used to really emphasize reading to children and I don’t always make the time to do it. I would like to say that we are a couple of chapters away from finishing Socks and we are on track in our children’s devotional! So far so good!
