Do you make resolutions? Any unusual ones? The mister thinks I’m crazy for making them, but I love it. Am I alone?
I was a little bit awful at sports when I was younger. Not that I wasn’t enthusiastic; I was just too aggressive [tennis], too uncoordinated [rounders] and too unpopular [netball]. Let’s just say that I had issues even catching a basketball. As sport clearly wasn’t a natural talent of mine, my parents never pushed me…
Pre-parenthood, Sunday mornings were textbook easy. Sure, we had to let the huskies out in the the garden and eventually take them for a walk, but they really didn’t care if we read newspapers in bed, drank cups of tea and took our good old time in getting up. Now, there’s no tea in bed…

Hero turned one on the third of July and so we celebrated with a fourth of July themed BBQ on the fifth. That seemed pretty fitting and despite a murky start to the day with silver rainclouds looming whilst the wash of rain from the right before was still evaporating from the paths, the sunshine…
The Spiderman curse. He’s learning to write his name. He knows his colours, can say the alphabet, count over 20, count with one to one correspondence, add and subtract single digit numbers…and his vocabulary knocks me off my feet. He’s amazing, and he’s mine. He’s beautiful, and I love him so much it overwhelms my…

I made it. Ten weeks in, and ten per cent of my body mass has gone. Forever [I hope]. Last night at Slimming World I crept onto the scales praying to see me drop below the next stone marker and there, three pounds lighter, my award popped onto the screen. Club Ten. I can’t actually…

Beans had his first day of pre-school today, after two settling-in-with-mommy sessions. He’s been allocated five afternoons as we’re entitled to 15 hours of pre-school fun, but we’re seeing which afternoons suit him best. As as he’s a summer birthday, our poor little Beaner is going to be wiped out for one, and secondly I’m…
My resolution is to cut down on food waste! I waste too much and my eyes are know open. Happy New Years!
We waste too much as well – what a great resolution!
I wish you all you wish for yourself in 2015 and more! Health and happiness are two top wishes on my list too. They cover a lot of territory.
Cheers!
Sara-Jayne – Happy New Year! Thanks for taking part in the six words, and for the shout-out here. I'm resolving to be more aware of where I am when I'm there – I know that sounds vague, but I hope it will help me focus on work, give all I can to my family, and strengthen relationships I have everywhere.
Hey Eli! It sounds like the perfect resolution. I know just what you mean. Looking forward to January's prompt!
I didn't make any official resolutions this year other than trying to eat healthier. I would love for my family to eat more 'real' food over processed food. I am finding though that it does take a lot of prep time! But I totally understand making 10 with the hope of seeing them through.
Oh wow, ten resolutions sounds like a ton! I usually don't make new years resolutions because I feel like the majority of the world never follows through on them. I've got vague ideas in my head of what I want to get accomplished this year- maxing out my IRA contribution and tons of work on my blog- but those are everyday things that I think about!
My resolutions for 2015 would be to be more healthy, more active, more organized, do more what of what I love, expand my horizons, experience new adventures, spend more time with family, open my perspective, clean more and to keep everything where its supposed to be. Wow there I already have 10 and I feel like there are just so many more things I can do..well resolutions are anticipated goals but I feel like I can never fully accomplish them all.
I make resolutions and for the past (I don't know how long) years, they have centered on health, fitness and weight loss. This year, for the first time ever, I don't have to because I started my healthy plan this summer and I'm very close to hitting my personal goal, as opposed to just starting it in the New Year. Anyhow, I would like to plan on being more productive in work, and focused. I am self-employed, so sometimes I get lost in the flexibility of it all…and the distractions. Also, getting my driver's license this year wouldn't be so bad. That's a usual Resolution that never gets fulfilled.
I stop making resolution and starting making goals I wanted to work on throughout the year. That way I don't feel bad when they're not done.. However, I've carried over most of the same ones I had last year.. continue to lose weight and eat healthy.. I want to save more money for my first car.. and a down payment on a place to live.. To be happy no matter what happens.. I really want 2015 to be an awesome happy year unlike 2014 which ended with a divorce.. haha
Happy New Year. I can not believe that it is 2015 already so crazy how fast time flies by. I have so many goals for 2015 i'm not even sure where to start. For one I'm starting a new business so my goals might be a little high but i'm so looking forward to what it will bring.
