January & New Year's Goals/ December Update

This year, I've decided the only thing I'm "resolving" to do is to be the best wife and mom I can be. That's really where my focus is going to be. My one 2013 goal is to read the bible in one year. If you want to join me, I'm considering doing an online discussion of some sort with the reading schedule posted! Just leave me a comment here on the blog (not on Facebook, as I won't check that for comments about this goal), and let me know you're interested! I'll get in touch with you via email :)

Here is my update on December Goals:

  • Finish gifts before December 20th  - No, sadly. :(
  • Wrap gifts before December 23rd  - All but one or two, so I call this a success!
  • Keep bedroom clean - Again, a fail. :( It seems like this is my lowest priority!
  • Vacuum at least once per week - I definitely did better about this!
  • Organize coupons again (we're so behind) - Robert did it!
  • Take a nap every day I'm able to - Yep! Naps are amazing!
  • Work on registries for baby (we find out what we're having on December 20th) - I got an amazing start on these! We have 4! (Amazon, Babies 'R Us, Pottery Barn Kids, and Target)!
  • Take at least one day for pampering in December (I would love to get a pedicure!) - Yep! Robert took me and we both got pedicures right before Christmas! :)
  • Finish 3 library books - More like one or two :(
  • Make some Christmas cookies! - Fail. Robert did this. I had zero energy for it. 

My January Goals are as follows: 
  • Start back up with FlyLady
  • Get the office straightened up and back in order
  • Re-do my weekly cleaning schedule
  • Stick to my deadline for the Newsletter at church, and get it out next week (this week is New Year's, so we have to push it back one week)
  •  Read Psalms & Proverbs (going to give this another shot: 1 Proverb + 5 Psalms daily)
  • Try to do a meal plan two days/ week 
  • Make more soups to freeze (Robert's request)
  • Get the pantry stocked back up (Kind of a joint project between Robert & me)
  • Keep selling on eBay
  • Make a list or do some kind of inventory on the baby stuff we have (see my posts here and here for all the blessings we've received/ found!)  
That's it! What are you all doing for your 2013 goals?

Good luck with your ebay selling- I have a lot of stuff to list even after major attempts to clear out stuff in Nov and Dec but may not do another big push until later this spring.

Thanks Jenny! Goodness, we have so much to get rid of before sweet Elizabeth Johannah makes her appearance and adds to our family in May. :) But I generally do a lot of selling in the dormant winter months, and then more in the spring as well! Good luck to you, too!
