Ya! SO SO SO excited to be in a NEW year! I am so ready to have a fresh start! I will be totally honest and say I suck at “resolutions” I will be really good about them for a few days maybe even weeks and as the year goes on I notice those “resolutions” slowly disappear and I end up disappointed in myself. SO this year I decided to write out a *GOAL LIST* to help keep me motivated! Nothing I love more than to CROSS THINGS OFF A LIST so this will be a great way to write out what I want to accomplish and to get them done :)

SO HELLO 2013 and my sparkly new set of GOALS…..

* BAKE MORE …. I am not the best at baking. To be honest I kinda suck at it. So this year I want to bake more in hopes I will become better at it :) {Fingers crossed} starting with these yummy jello cookies from I Heart Nap Time

*BE HAPPY….. it’s been a long time since I was truly happy. I want to be happy again

* COOK AT LEAST ONE MEAL A WEEK AT HOME – I travel a ton for work so I am not home very often but since I travel I eat out ALL the time and need to slow down and cook at home more often {see all my recipes HERE}

*TAKE BETTER CARE OF MYSELF – take the time to get that pedicure, go to my bootcamp class, get a massage, go for a walk….slow down and do something for myself and my health

*DON’T ASSUME – this one is really hard for me. I am generally a really positive person but with so many hard things going on in my life I tend to assume things as the worst instead of the best. I need to try to be more positive about my own thoughts and not assume the worst.

*DO GOOD – help others. I want to try to do at least ONE act of kindness each month…. I started it last month by buying a homeless single mom groceries for a month. It made me feel so great knowing I could help feed her and her baby and one less person goes to bed hungry. I want to do more like this

I will add to this list throughout the month as I come up with more ideas and goals….

what are some of your goals / resolutions for the new year?
