New Year's Resolutions!

As I was browsing the internet, I came across a New Year's Resolution printable and thought it would be a great idea to try and write some for myself.  If they're written down, I can come back and look at them and then revisit the list at the end of the year.  I've never made a list of resolutions before but there's no better time to do it than January 1! 
Here's the link to the printable where I got the idea.

Let’s Do This! 2013

One Word

 I found it very difficult to try and come up with one word to describe what I would like for my year.  I went through about five before I decided on ACTIVE!

This word popped into my head when I thought about having 2 very active toddlers.  Then I thought it applied to more of what I want for myself this year.  I want to be more active in pursuing activities with Jenna and Rachel.  I want to be more active in terms of exercising.  I want to be more active when it comes to cleaning, cooking, and organizing.  Using the computer less will allow me to be more active.  I think this will be my One Word for the year. 

Want

What I Really Want in 2013...

*To get out more with the girls: library, play dates and other activities.   It’s a great way to help them socialize with other children and good for me too!

*To create a budget and determine how to live on less money.  I’d like to stay at home with the girls for longer and this will help!

*To play piano again.  I got a new book for Christmas and I will learn at least one new piece.

Need

What I Really Need in 2013...

*To be more organized.  I would love to begin following a home maintenance/cleaning schedule so that I’m not overwhelmed with things that need to be done. 

*To have a least one date night with my husband!  We haven’t been out since November 2011!

 Share

What I Want to Share in 2013...

*More time with my husband and children: less time on the computer.  I’ve been working hard to not turn on the computer while the girls are awake.  I’d like to limit time during their naps and in the evening as well. 

*Try to be more outgoing, friendly and approachable.  This could be as easy as saying hello to someone during a walk or chatting with another mom at story time!

Succeed

In 2013 I Will Succeed At...

*To lose the 10 pounds I gained since having the twins.  I’d like to fit back into the jeans I wore pre-pregnancy. 

*Becoming a better cook.  I’m enjoying making dinner more and I would love to find some new recipes to try.  I need to boost my confidence in the kitchen.  

I hope that having this written on my blog will allow me to stay accountable and be able to achieve most of these goals for the year.  

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!  Welcome to 2013!
