Goals and Dreams for 2012!

Here is a list of what I want to accomplish in this next year and dreams I want to keep in the back of my mind to keep me motivated!

1.) Goal:  I want to learn to run. I want to complete a 5k by this fall.

Dream: I want to be a healthy and active mother for my daughter to look up to. I want to be able to teach her all the things I’m learning just now and help her live a better life!

2.) I want to become a better cook and overcome my fear of the kitchen. My goal is to make 1 meal completely from scratch a week, and work up from there!

Dream: I want to be that girl who brings the amazing dish to the party that everyone talks about. To be the mom that you love going over to Alannah’s house because you know the food will be AMAZING!   (is this going to far?)

3.) I want to journal and read the bible on a daily basis. I used to stick to this good but since having Alannah I’ve really fallen of the wagon and let other things become my priorities.

Dream: I want to be the type of mom that Alannah can she Jesus in how I treat/ act towards others. I want her to see a good example of what a godly woman should be, in me.

4.) I want to be more crafty! My goal is to work on a project a week once I get a house.

Dream: I want to be able to look around my home and be able to say “Most of this decor I made myself!”.

5.)  I want to keep my house more clean/organized! Whether this is done by making a chore board or acquiring more storage space, this needs to happen!

Dream:  I pretty much feel like once I have a house this will come a little more naturally. I have NO space in my apartment so it’s just cluttered with all our stuff. I want to be able to have a place for everything and stick to a daily/weekly cleaning schedule.

6.) I want to relearn either the guitar or the piano. I really want to focus on music a little more, it’s something I love that I’ve just forgotten about.

Dream: I want to be comfortable enough with an instrument that I can go play it and feel accomplished as well as being able to de-stress a little bit.

7.) I want to integrate healthy eating more fully into my life. I really want to learn some great healthy ways to cook and take care of my family!

Dream: That I would crave vegetables over chips, water over soda, and really just get over this love/hate relationship I have with junk food!

I think this is a good start! I will most likely update this a lot as the year goes on !:)
