We are quickly moving in the review of the 3rd quarter! Man did this year fly by or what? Join us for another week of remembering the year three months at a time, and you could win some big prizes!
Every time I say "in the year 20__" I always think of this Conan O'Brien skit. It always cracks me up.
Anyways, back to the serious stuff. I really can't believe it is 2012...I feel like 2011 had just started. But I guess once you have a kid time flies by. I never would have thought that I would have started a blog in 2011 or that my son would now be over a year old.
I've seen a lot of resolutions and 2012 goal posts so I thought I would join in on the fun. Here are some of my goals for the year 2012.
*To continue to try to read a book a month.I've really started reading a lot since I hijacked my husband's kindle...but now that I've got my own I can really go crazy! I am currently reading the Game of Thrones series. These books are long, and I'm on book 4 out of 5. Almost there!
*To save X amount of dollars each month. I've always been a super saver, but now my town is getting a Costco and a Publix so I'm hoping to stretch out more of my couponing skills. Last year we had to adjust to having only one income, so we didn't save as much as we did on a dual income. However, we still were able to meet our savings goal of last year.
*To attend Stroller Strides twice a week. I've met some great moms through this group and not to mention gotten a good workout. Now it will be even more fun since Nolan is older and can interact more with other children.
*To attend a beginner sewing machine class. My mother-in-law bought me a brand spanking new sewing machine for Christmas. I have never even used one before, so I'm going to need a crash course to get started. I'm excited to learn though!
*To attend a photography class. My husband purchased a new spiffy lens for me, so now I need to learn how to use it.
*To cook or eat at home at least 4 times a week. We did pretty good with this last year. Obviously, this also counts if you eat leftovers at home. And who doesn't love a night that you don't have to cook because you have leftovers?!
*To attend a fun activity with Nolan once a week. This could be storytime such as Baby Bookworms, playdates, the zoo, or any other fun "free" activities that we can find.
*To finish all small projects throughout the house. I'm hoping that my husband and I can finish out all the small projects we have on our list. We have already started off on the right foot by totally reorganizing the whole garage on Jaunary 1st! We put in some heavy duty shelving that allowed me to move suitcases, Nolan's clothes that are too small, his swing, and all the holiday decorations into one place. It's amazing!
*To sell our house and buy a new one. We are hoping to be in a bigger house by the end of the year!
I believe that's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure I'll write some more down. Hope 2012 is treating you well so far!
