New Year Goals in my 30th Year


Every year I make a list of resolutions I'd like to try to accomplish.  Most end sooner than anticipated others never seem to get going.  So this year I am trying something a little different.  I want to set a list of goals that I think that I can accomplish over the course of the year. Since I am turning the big 3-0this July...eek...why not attempt to have 30 goals for the year. 
  1. Eat Healthier
  2. Be More Active for myself and kids
  3. Read more
  4. Find a house with a big yard that will fit our growing family
  5. Sell our house!!!! (this is a big one!)
  6. Buy and Move into our hopefully forever home (again another big one)
  7. Grow my ETSY shop
  8. Work on my photography skills....I'd really like to improve my amateur photo taking
  9. Get my kid's photo/baby albums up to date
  10. Work on the  Our family photo albums....H-U-G-E project right there
  11. Go Camping
  12. Work on getting a set budget and sticking to it...we have a very rough one that needs to be fine tuned
  13. Be more organized at home
  14. Make my bed and teach the kids the same....something minor, but really does make me feel better
  15. Take more trips/family outings
  16. Grow a nice garden
  17. Do more canning and freezing of home grown food
  18. Turn the TV off more

  22. Lose 25 pounds and not find it!!!
  23. De-clutter and re-organize
  24. Have more regular blog posts and tutorials
  25. Make more products to have in my AddyLou ETSY shop
  26. Teach someone how to sew
  27. Make a big boy quilt for Dylan
  28. Use my fabric scraps to make fun things
  29. Make enough sales from AddyLou to be able to purchase an NEW sewing machine on my own
  30. Do more fun projects with/for my kids



Most of these are in progress, I just need a little motivation to keep going.  Some are things I have been wanting to do for awhile.  I am anxious to see how many of these I can cross off by my birthday and how many more will be done by the end of 2013.  I wish you all the best this New Year.  And good luck with all the goals and resolutions you have set for yourself.  Ready - Set - Go!
