first post of 2013

2013.

wow.

these years go by oh too quickly.

slow down years. please.

thankyouverymuch.

i am not much of a resolution type gal. however, i do like to set goals. or i should like to set goals since i teach goal setting and make my students set a goal every month. i think i should heed my teaching and set a goal or two for myself.

i think that would be a good idea.

so...here is my list of goals. all 9 of them.

1. simplify and organize. i plan to do this by trying out once a month cooking and freezer meals. a few years ago i drank the meal planning koolaid and have never looked back. i think it is time i take the next step. my hope is to free up my evenings a bit to be able to spend more quality (like not trying to do 18 things a once) time with my girlies.

2. take more pictures. i can read your minds...really more pictures?!?! a while back i wrote about taking a picture of my three on the third. well i actually want to do that. also, i want to also take 10 pictures on the tenth. i want to capture more of our everyday moments. because those everyday moments really are the best ones.

3. bible study. a few months ago i started to follow along with the shereadstruth bible study. my goal is to set aside time each day to studying God's word.

4. play more games with my girls. i love games. they love games. we need to do more of this.

5. spend time with the girls individually. ok...probably don't need to spend more one on one time with maggie. she gets a lot of that right now. but the older two. they need more one on one time.

6. be crafty. sew more. especially for the girls. possibly sell some of my creations. and learn to crochet. i also have a number of projects i want to complete this year around the house.

7. blog. i love blogging and i want to keep at it. (i had to set some very achievable goals:))

8. be healthy. be active and exercise. eat fruits and vegetables. laugh.

9. be positive. be loving. be kind. all. the. time. and be grateful. so grateful.

ok. so there they are.

my goals for 2013.

here is to achieving my goals this year!
