2009 Resolutions

A friend of mine put her resolutions in her blog last year. Then she posted again how it went. I enjoyed reading about her successes and struggles. It's nice to be reminded that even those who appear as super moms have things they want to improve on. She inspired me to create a list. Maybe putting these things down will help me to remember them better!

1-Read thru the whole Bible
2-Read one book a month (not a children's book :))
3-Play, with no interruptions or distractions at least 1/2 hour a day with the kids (you'd think this would be easy as a stay-at-home mom--it's not!)
4-Read at least three books a day to the kids
5-Spend one evening a month with just Ben
6-Learn to cook vegetables in new, more appealing ways (I always have a cooking goal for the year--last year was baking)
7-Exercise at least three days a week
8-Teach Timmy to read
9-Drink more water than anything else daily
10-Spend at least 2 hours a week scrapbooking (this is what keeps me sane!)

Love those resolutions. Especially the read through the Bible in one year and spend 1 evening a month w/ hubby. Let me know what reading program you're doing Bible wise and I'll join you.

And you've made date night a monthly must in this household!

Great resolutions! I am also trying to read the Bible- I'm using the Message Chronological, so something a bit different, but I like it. And please don't take this the wrong way, but that picture of Timmy - the background - all I could say is I'm so glad their toys are all over just like ours! I'm finding it impossible to keep our house clean with 4 kids! Glad to know I'm normal. LOL

I tell ya' People think that's all a stay at home Mom does. Play with the kids all day long! I wish that is all I had to do. We'd have so much more fun in the day!
