Do you make resolutions? Any unusual ones? The mister thinks I’m crazy for making them, but I love it. Am I alone?
In a few weeks, Jensen will reach the finale of his first year of school. Even though I’m a teacher myself, having my own children reach school age was quite a hullabaloo. You’d think I’d be more prepared -but I wasn’t. Like birthday cards and grocery shopping, I left school uniform shopping until the final couple of…
I can’t remember a time when my cupboards have been less stuffed with plastic carrier bags than now thanks to trolley bags. On average I think we used around 20 bags a week – and with the introduction of the 5p charge that would be costing me at least £1 a week. It would be –…
It’s my birthday next week which means that my lovely family have been asking me what’s on my wish list, or whether they should surprise me. Thanks to my ear issues, I can’t balance and so I can’t drive – which means that I’ve been away from any shopping centre since January when I was…
Lockdown begins today – which means we’re back to spending every minute inside our home – no clubs, no outings, no playdates. This is the time when our walls seem to be closing in on us, and I’ve been on the lookout for a mortgage calculator to see how much a bit more space would…
With sun-flushed cheeks and grass-scattered hair, knocking scuffed sandal toes with our friends as we swung about on the chipped, yellow pudding bowl climbing frame outside our house, every Summer we waited. As soon as we heard it, we’d scramble from our metal perches and race to our doorstep, heads craned sideways to yell through…
Our blog has been empty for the past week, as has my heart. After a horrific tragedy, Gavin and I had to make the decision to end our brave Casanova’s life. We are heartbroken, lost, and angry at the cancer that caused his precious life to be cut short. Casanova leaves a…
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.
