Goodbye 2014.
And good riddance.
I mean no offense, but I am so glad to see you in the rearview.
Meanwhile, hello 2015!
For 2015 I have a few general areas I would like to keep working on.
I am trying to keep my goals simple and easy to track.
***
1) Health
Step One of this goal is to workout daily during the week.
Josh and I will each set motivational rewards for every week we complete our goal.
Step Two of this goal is to make dinner every week night.
This will mean weekly meal planning on Sunday evenings and pulling necessary items out of the freezer every morning. I will be adding more vegetables & fruit to our meals as well.
2) Parenting
Step One of this goal is to read Hands Free Mama
by blogger Rachel Stafford Macy.
Step Two is to remember my word of the year, which is "Linger".
I read a post last year by Ashley over at Under The Sycamore about choosing to "linger longer." Linger at the table... linger at bedtime... It's a gentle reminder to make time to be present. I love it.
3) Contentment
Step One of this goal is to do my Gratitude Journal daily.
This will remind me of the million blessings I have in my life.
Step Two of this goal is to work on contentment financially.
This will mean not spending anything extra in an effort to focus on paying down our debt.
4) Reading
Step One of this goal is to set a goal of reading at least three books a month.
From there, each month I will choose (ahead of time) what three books I will read, and even if I don't reach that goal, at least I will be reading more than I would have been otherwise.
Step Two of this goal is to set a schedule of which chapter books we will be reading during school.
I will use my new monthly planner to record new books for reading to the twins each week.
Step Three of this goal will be to continue reading five picture books a day to the boys.
Two books at calendar time during school and three books at bedtime.

I am hopeful that 2015 is a year of family time, joy and good memories.
