I stopped making New Year's resolutions in college, because I never followed through on any of them. I decided this year, I am going to make some "goals" for my 2011 year, for myself and my family.
1. Money: The hubs and I are working on debt reduction plan. We don't have a ton of debt, but we would like to have none (besides our mortgage). We have already started working on it, by eliminating our one vehicle payment and paying off all of our credit cards. It already feels great! We are loosely following Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University in our quest to be debt free.
2. Home Improvement: We have two big home improvement projects that need to get done in 2011. We desperately need new windows in our home, and need new insulation in our attic as well.
3. Get Fit: Both Andy and I would like to lose some weight, become more fit and improve our diets. We would like to be better role models for the girls when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. We are starting P90X tonight!
4. De-Clutter: I feel like I am constantly battling clutter in my home. I am going to work on one area a week (closet/cabinet/room/etc) and de-clutter/organize. This weekend I organized our entry closet. Andy built a shoe rack and it looks so neat and organized after I got rid of about half the contents. I even have a spot for my purse IN the closet now!
5. Blog: I am making it a personal goal to post more regularly on this blog. I am aiming for 3 posts per week. It has been a nice outlet for me, and I am hoping to continue with it throughout the year. Things I would like to post about: General family happenings, cooking exploits, and organizing before/afters.
Happy New Year filled with blessings, health and family to everyone in 2011!
