My sincerest apologies for the silence on this blog as of late. It's been a busy holiday season and I have been without a laptop for much of it. Just yesterday, my wonderful husband bought me a brand spanking new laptop and I'm so excited to put it to work with this blog!
I hope everyone put my post about holiday prep to good use and that it helped you have a stress-free holiday season! Now that the new year has begun, I have some new goals for myself and I'll try to share my progress along the way.
Goal 1: Get organized.
We plan to move to a new home this year. We're not 100% about the when or where...it will be in 6 months or less and we will either move across town or to Texas. Everything depends on my husband's job and where they need him to be. So in preparation for moving, I'm starting to purge and organize now so that moving will be as easy as possible. I've started by weeding through my son's toys and clothes. Anything broken went into the trash, things he's outgrown are getting passed down to his cousin, and anything else is getting donated. I already have three large boxes of things out of his room alone!
Goal 2: Get healthy.
Last year, my husband and I started on this goal by eliminating junk food and in general making healthier choices. Over the holidays we let a lot slide but we're ready to get back on the wagon. We've decided to join a gym since now is usually the best time to do so because gyms tend to have specials in January.
Goal 3: Stop being wasteful.
Wastefulness really bugs me. I hate throwing perfectly good things away. You can ask my husband...I get really mad when I have to throw food out and I'm a bit of a pack rat with other things because I can't stand the idea of throwing something out and a month down the road needing it. However, I'm also sick of having no spare storage space in our home due to all the stuff I'm hanging on to. This kind of goes hand in hand with my first goal for this year...I do not want to purchase anything new that I'm not going to use. No more impulse buys just because something is a good deal! No more knick-knacks for the house...we have enough decor and really, with a toddler and three dogs, it's not a worthwhile investment. So...more restraint when shopping and as far as food goes, I'm going to start cooking smarter. This means cooking meals that will either be finished off the same night it's cooked or will make a meal that will definitely get eaten the next day!
