3.) Develop a homekeeping schedule that works well with my life and stick to it. I'm currently trying out a few different things.
5.) Get James and myself out of the house more! James and I are doing a free trial of a baby gym program Tuesday.
6.) Get our yard in better shape- save for fence, seed again, back flowerbeds.
7.) Grow more food in the spring/summer. I was quite proud of my basil and Roma tomatoes last year ;)
8.) Research more about homeschooling and start applying methods with James. Develop more structure for our day with more educational activities.
Great goals to work towards!
Those sound like great goals. Have you tried flylady.net? She has a great system for housekeeping. I modified it to work better for me, but the basic idea is pretty neat.
What a great list! You can definitely do 25 books. I send Hayley to school but I do some homeschooling at home too. I have some good resources if you ever need.
Thanks Melissa! Yeah in 2009 and 10 I read 25 books each year, then last year I aimed for 50 and failed miserably only reading 13. I've learned to make REALISTIC goals that I can actually achieve ;)50 books with a toddler and a newborn this year just ain't gonna happen!
Karen, I did check out flylady prob two years ago. I need to look back into it!
girl you're right- we must be soulmates :) we should check up on each other periodically to stay accountable with our goals!! love youuuuu
Kristin, I've gone back and forth on FlyLady several times. I think the most important things from her program is to clean in short burst that you can do (I do 30 minutes instead of the 15 she recommends) and do a rotation that works for you. The idea of having a clean sink really does make a difference for me!
I love sewing! I would love to be able to make money from sewing. Hopefully 2012 will bring some income as a WAHM.
Your list is very similar to mine! I hope you'll post the cleaning schedule you come up with and your budget plan. I love to see what works for others...and I'm just nosey.
