2017 was a year I was glad to see come to an end. Don’t get me wrong, there were a few wonderful things that took place in 2017, (our family vacation to Europe, the start of my blog, another trip to New York Fashion Week) but it was also a year that had a lot of downs for our family. Let’s hope those stay in the past and that there is nothing but a bright and happy 2018 in store for us.
With the start of a new year, I, like many of you, not only like to reflect on the past, but also set some goals and resolutions for the upcoming year. I’ll be honest, I never write down my goals/resolutions, probably because I know when I see my list, it will be a reminder of what I have yet to accomplish, or have already given up on. However, discouraging that can be, I’ve decided I need to be more accountable, and so I am going to write a list of goals that I’m hoping to either implement in my life, strive to accomplish, or try to perfect this year.

If you’re reading this, and have not made a list of resolutions/goals, I encourage you to do so. We can work towards achieving them together. Okay, so no more putting it off, here is what I’m working in for 2018.
- Laundry! I am the absolute worst at the laundry. I will buy more socks, underwear, etc. because the pile is just too big, and I don’t want to do it. This needs to change. My goal is to stay on top of the laundry, so it doesn’t overwhelm me.
- Meal plan, Every Single Week!
- Two-three blog posts per week. This is harder than you’d think. I always have ideas running through my head for posts, but I usually don’t end up getting them on the blog. This is about to change!
- Spend less time on my phone/computer when the kids are home. They are growing up so quickly, I want to spend as much time with them as I can.
- Lose those 20 pounds I’ve been talking about for years. UGH! This means eating less and exercising more. I really wish it was the other way around.
- Read 24 books in 2018. That equals out to 2 books a month.
- Work on my spiritual growth. Scripture study and prayer every day!
My list isn’t overly long or overly difficult, but I think it will be tough to stick to these 7 goals/resolutions. The key is starting today! I’ve put it off for as long as I can, and nothing will get done if I don’t get to work. Wish me luck!
Leave a comment letting me know what goals you’re working on this year. I’d love to hear! Here’s to a fun, organized, and successful 2018!
