Suggestions

I dislike New Year's resolutions. Mainly because I never keep them. So this year I decided to not make any resolutions, but make "suggestions." That way I won't feel so bad when I inevitably break them. So here goes:


1. Be more patient (with ALL my boys!!)

2. Try not to plan out every detail of my day ( a little more impulsive, maybe???)

3. Watch less mindless TV after the kids are in bed (This will be hard during these first few cold months)

4. Be more easygoing (this correlates with #2)

5. Take more bubble baths

6. Play more with the boys instead of doing housework

7. Cook without using a recipe (or just cook more!!)

8. Be encouraging instead of discouraging

9. Organize my photos

10. Save more, shop less (this one is painful, even to type)

11. Get out of my pj's before Brent gets home from work (once again, will be difficult during these cold winter months) A little makeup might be nice too....

12. And last, but not least: eat better and exercise (the whopper jr. and fries I had today doesn't count-- I'll start tomorrow :)



Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. ~Author Unknown
