For the first time that I can remember, I have decided to make new year resolutions. They are very attainable and things I have been focusing on anyway. This way, I can have success- smart eh?! They are such simple things that I try to do, but don't put the effort into. By publishing them, I think it will make me more accountable. I challenge you to write down yours as well.
I even made a small poster to hang in the kitchen to remind myself on a daily basis.

So heres my list ( in no particular order):

• Get back into pre-annie shape ( I am going to a mommy and baby bootcamp that is pretty intense, as well as yoga, snowshoeing, walking, etc. Burn baby burn!)
  
• Finish scrapbooking projects that I started ( finishing off the pregnancy one I started- which is super weird now that I have met Annie!? - and starting annie's scrapbook/baby book)
• Use the compost ( I am so darn lazy to throw scraps away, when there is a bowl by the sink and a composter out in the garden. Goodness knows our crappy soil needs the nutrients!)
• Wear accessories more often ( I always see people wearing beautiful earrings, necklaces, hair things etc, so I buy some and NEVER wear them!? I am always just about to leave the house and take them off- but not this year!)
  
• Light Candles ( Dale makes fun of me that we have candles around the house that are 'not for burning.' Why do we do that ladies??!)
• Don't Slouch ( I have always had bad posture, but now with the addition to my chest, sigh, and carrying around my 'little' annie, i constantly catch myself hunched over. I fear the Hunchback of Notre Dame in my future... )
• Use up odds & ends ( from bulk bags in the pantry to lotions half used and thrown in a drawer, time to use it all up before I buy!)
• Less TV, more Music ( I have to admit, daytime TV becomes very addicting, but more so I just have it on in the background for noise.... but then I get drawn in. So from now on I watch a select group of shows at specific times, and the rest of the day is music. I have even caught annie watching, which I really don't want!)
  
• Consume less (This is something I think everyone is trying to do these days, but I have been working on this for a while. It makes me sick to look at my bank account and see the money get thrown away. From making my coffees and teas at home, to buying annies clothes at a used kids clothing store, I am pretty proud of having accomplished this goal already)
  

There you have it. Wish me luck.
