A New Year, A New Me!

So first I have to apologize to anyone who has been dying to see Christmas pictures of Abby, we took some pretty good ones before I realized we didn't have an SD card in the camera so now I have to find the cord that hooks the camera directly up to the computer so I can download them. I have been trying to work on goals already for the past couple of months but what the heck, there is still much I need to improve so here are my goals.

1. To become the kind of mom who is pretty good at cleaning her home but also doesn't put that in front of spending quality time with her family. We are at that stage right now where Abby is getting pretty close to walking and needs constant supervision because she wants to get into everything so my house isn't as clean as I would like it to be but then I have days where I have been doing chores non stop and realize that I haven't played with Abby or sat down to just spend time with Jason.

2. Start having regular Family Home Evening. (Yes, I am admitting that we aren't that good at it but that is going to change NOW!)

3. Start working out (again). December was a hard month to stick to my workout schedule and I am ashamed to say that weeks went by without me doing so much as a sit up (Strange though, I have lost 3 pounds since Thanksgiving, one thing about breastfeeding, I definitely have random weight loss)

4. Make time for me! We don't really have anyone to watch Abby so I don't do much that is just for me besides my once a month bunco group. My goal is to set aside some time every Saturday that I do not work and work on my scrap booking and my sewing (Jason bought me a sewing machine our first Christmas we were married. I really wanted it and had so many plans of things I wanted to make but I have not even put thread in the thing yet. I have, however, read the instruction manual!) It is only 2 days a month but it is a start!

5. To put more effort into gathering and preparing the type of meals that Abby is going to have to eat. I only have one more year before Abby has to officially go on a heart healthy, 30% fat diet! (They want us to decrease fat a little between 1 and 2 but not too much so she gets enough for brain development)

That is about it for now. I will still need to probably make small, monthly goals but these are the big, important one's where I really need to change! I hope that all of you have a fantastic New Year!! We love you all and we can't wait to see the Albert side of the family next week!
