2015 Not Resolutions but Goals

2015 Not Resolutions but Goals

Happy New Year! Many people have resolutions they try to keep every year but I prefer the term “goals”. Goals seem more attainable. I have 12 goals for 2015. I wrote them all down and I refer to them almost every day. It helps me stay focused when there are so many things in my life that could distract me.

The twelve goals are:

1. Renovate our only bathroom and replace the window in our son’s bedroom.

2. Catch-up on and read my favorite daily blog – “Feed Your Family for $100 a Month” by Mavis Butterfield. Also Catch-up on and read a really great e-magazine “From Scratch”.

3. Journal daily

4. Pay off one of our two credit cards

5. Organize our attic

6. Exercise 3 times a week

7. Read one book a month

8. Send out birthday and anniversary cards each month

9. Make copies of my Granny’s recipes and give a copy to each of our family members.

10. Digitize my Dad’s family’s photos and make photo books and give CD copies to each of our family members

11. YouTube/Blog at least once a week

12. Read the Bible from cover to cover with my husband

Sounds like a lot huh? I am excited though. I really want to accomplish all of these goals this year. I think I can do them all too. Well I hope anyway.

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.
