A New Year

Since it's almost the end of January, I thought I'd share my new year's resolutions even though I'm not a huge fan of them. Mostly because I feel like it's the same thing every year. Eat healthier, exercise more, etc. But at the same time it is a great opportunity to try to improve oneself. This year I chose a few goals I thought were attainable and somewhat measurable.1. Last year was the year of home improvements which meant we spent a lot of money. I like sticking to a budget so it kinda stressed me out how much money we spent on our home. With our big and costly home improvements out of the way, I'm looking forward to a year of spending less and saving more. Getting back on a budget!

2. I also want to do more fun things with Kensie. More park days, play dates, and story times. Less dragging her around with me shopping and running errands.

3. Making my bed every day.

Yes, #3 is pretty pathetic. Most people have been making their bed every day since they were ten years old. As much as my mom tried to bribe me by putting quarters on my bed when I would make it, the habit never sunk in.

So far, things are looking good for my NYR. We've already put a good chunk of money towards savings. Kensie and I have been to story time every week. We've also been going to the park at least once or twice a week when it's warm enough. I'm working on getting a babysitting co-op going. Aaaaaannnd....I've made my bed almost every day this year! Boo-yah! My mom will be so proud when she finds out.
