I apologize for the lack of dedication I have had towards this new blog recently. I have been meaning to come and write, but I've been so busy! I've actually had plans during the weekends recently, and it's been nice. Really nice. However, I haven't had my own time in a while so I just feel like I've been in go mode for the past couple weeks.
It's crazy how much I took for granted before being a mom. I love being a mom and I think it's what I was always meant to do (yes, I know, it's pretty nuts!). However, I would be lying if I said that I don't miss life before little C sometimes. Only sometimes. It's very rarely. I guess what I do end up missing pretty often is my own time. The whole do anything I want at my own leisure. Going out and being able to take my time going grocery shopping, not scheduling it around little C's naps.
There I go, off on a tangent yet again.
The past couple of weeks, I've had a lot of thoughts, but little to no time to write them down. I guess that's what this post is about. Let's be honest, I rarely stick to new year's resolutions (I definitely sat here and wanted to type in reservations for a few minutes). Now that's it's February (WHAT?), I have finally decided on some goals I would like to work on throughout the year and I figure here is a good place to jot them down. My memory is crap these days.
- Be more crafty. I feel like I lack creativity, but I secretly love crafty things. However, I'm really critical of myself so I often don't even bother starting a new project. This year I want to do more crafts and be OK with the outcome.
- Finish projects. Going along with the first goal, I need to practice finishing projects. I am SO BAD AT FINISHING THINGS. I am literally staring at this ball of yarn and a half assed scarf that I started and haven't bothered to finish. I will finish you..I promise.
- Improve my crocheting. I've told people I know how to crochet. Recently I discovered I thought I knew how to crochet. So I've befriended a youtube channel done by Bobbie and have been practicing my crocheting. I haven't had the time to continue with my practicing, but I will. Maybe even tonight!
- Be a better partner. Big C and I are definitely meant to be together. We mesh really well, and I can't imagine someone better than he is. However, I am not as good of a partner as I could be to him and I really want to work on that. Plus, we both want to encourage and practice healthy communication so that it's well established for little C and the future little C's.
- Try 100 new recipes. I love to cook. It's another way to be creative. I try to introduce a new recipe a week, but I've been slacking lately. 100 recipes seems like a lot, but hey I have 45ish weeks to do this. Oh Pinterest, don't fail me now.
- Become healthier emotionally. This doesn't need any further explanation.
- Become healthier physically. I can't say that I will lose a specific amount of weight this year. I never stick to it. So my main goal is just to exercise more. Be healthier than I was. And hopefully stick to it. Even though cake is so good.
- Be a better mom.
- Be better to my friends. Did you know that I have the greatest friends ever? Well I do. And they deserve better from me.
- Take advantage of where I live. I love where I live and all the amenities. Can't wait to take advantage as little C grows and as the weather improves.
That's it thus far. I think in a few months, I'll come back and provide myself an update.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
