New Year

Happy 2010 my friends! We had a wonderful Christmas and then vacation over New Year's Eve. Wasn't it neat to have a White Christmas in Tx?!

So, here I am pondering my new year's resolutions. By the way my husband thinks resolutions are "dumb" and doesn't get it. But he is constantly setting goals for himself so it's okay with me that he's not making new goals just for the new year. But I am!

1. Think of ways to be a better Mom. (I stay home with my 2 year old and it's easy to get into a boring rut but I absolutely LOVE all the one on one time I get with her).

2. We want another baby! I have baby fever bad. I think it just feels "time" for the second one.

3. I want to get more creative with my grocery budget and be more mindful of my spending.

4. Figure out a way to make money while being with my child the majority of the time. Sounds odd right?! I have some ideas just need to act on it.

5. Work on my esthetician skills which basically means studying up on things I've forgotten. Someday when I'm not a stay home mom I would like to get back into that field.

6. Get more exercise! We live in a great neighborhood with long sidewalks and a playground that I need to take advantage of.

And that's it! I really just want to grow closer to my family this year and appreciate all my blessings. I learned so much this past year. My husband lost his father, his job and his home. But we have so much to be thankful for. That was hard to see at times and there were lots of tears shed. I'm so happy that God heard my prayers and gave me hope.
