Since we're more than halfway through the year, I thought it would be a good time to check in on my resolutions:
1. 12
Pins a Month:
I think I have been unintentionally
meeting this goal. I’ve used many Pinterest ideas for my last two events. I’ve
also tried a few new recipes, a few kid activities, and a few ideas for
greeting cards.
2. Publish photo books:
I haven’t even begun to think about this,
but I WILL do it.
3. The Great Magazine Cleanout:
I made it through about two or three
months so far. Now that I have a little free time, I plan to spend it reading
magazines on the porch swing.
4. Decorate Max’s Room:
Done! I’ve painted and made some artwork.
I’d like to change out his dresser, but that may wait until we own a place of
our own. I’ve also put in lots of hours into a rug (see below).
5. Contribute to family finances:
I’ve been working 3-4 days a week since I
finished typing my resolutions. I only have a few months left so I need to step
up my Etsy idea and by business start up.
6. Get down to (at least) my wedding
weight:
Let’s not talk about this one yet.
7. Cook at home more:
I didn’t start out too well with this
one, but just this month , I’ve spent two weekends making freezer meals. It was
more fun than I thought it would be, and Luke helped with the second round.
8. Make a Latch Rug for Max’s Room:
I wasn’t kidding when I said it would
take forever. I’m 16 hours in, and I have two rows complete. I’ve estimated
that it will take 100 hours or so total. I’d love to have it done by his
birthday, but we’ll see…
9. Connect with my Husband:
We haven’t really had a date night, but
we do have movie nights after the baby goes to bed. Plus, we spend time doing
other “around the house” stuff (see #7).
10. Traveling Journals:
So far, I’ve bought two journals. That’s
it.
11. Watch My Mouth:
Definitely working on this. Max is
starting to repeat everything! And I know he definitely understands everything
– including the tone of your voice.
