New Year, New Me!

I am really taking new year resolutions this year seriously! I just feel so much motivation and energy. I love starting new, and I hope to be able to keep it up. I am focused and excited to improve my life and my family's in 2010! Some of my goals include:

Sticking to a tight budget, so we can have some fun this summer! (this is our family savings jar the boys can contribute to...and a little hint of our summer plans)

Using $100.00 of coupons each month, this is store and manufacturer coupons (not my savings on sales which is around $400 a month all ready.) This month I am at $57.50.

Organizing my home one drawer at a time...or closet...or shelf.....(I have done 11 kitchen drawers so far...)

Write 12 songs and practice piano each day. (I wrote one this past week!)

Finish my Personal progress (as a leader I am working on it along with the girls)

Lose weight (I am down 10 lbs since the end of November, YEAH!!)

Finish Tayla's scrapbook of her first two years.

Have family scripture reading every day after dinner (we are only at 3 in a row so far, this one is harder than I thought! I know we can do it though, two years ago our goal was family home evening every Monday, and two years later we haven't missed in a long long time, it's like a habit now!) I hope to keep up the momentum.

So there it is. I am going to really focus this year to get these goals done. I will be tracking my progress monthly on a new blog-seebethgo.blogspot.com It is a great way for me to be more accountable with my goals if I know I am going to post about them! Any encouragement is welcome! Wish me luck! Beth
