Hmmm. I really want to continue my last years one of at least a book a month or 12 in a year.

But with this being my 2nd baby I'm promising myself to ask for help more and take breaks. With my first I took everything on myself and never asked or accepted help. I did feedings, baths, nightimes, everything. This time I want to depend on DH more, and he's always been more than willing and to take me breaks. Join a gym and go to yoga and not be terrified of the gym daycare I never could bring myself to use for my daughter. Occasional girl nights. Things like that. It's easy to lose yourself to motherhood.

Pay off my SUV to help cover daycare costs!

Our NY goal as a couple is to pay off our credit cards before baby arrives. With those out of the way the only debt we have is our house mortgage and a small amount of student loans (super low interest rate so not in any hurry to pay that off).

We want to become better at sticking to a budget than we have been this year. We have never had any bad debts (just student and car loans) but would like to have more wiggle room when baby comes!

I want to learn to say no more. I always say yes when my bosses want me to do more at work and work longer hours and more days a week. And I always help friends with everything they ask for. Now that I'm pregnant and will be having a full time job and a baby, I want to say no for once so I'm not overworked and stressed. There are plenty of people at work who can take on an extra project or two. I no longer have to do it all. I'm going to try anyway...

Make our house into more of a home or at least add some sort of style. It has always looked like someone with no style (me) went to a thrift store & picked "whatever suits the purposes needed" with no thought to any decor flow. I am quite handy with my power tools & learning how to sew this year would let me basically create anything I wanted for this goal.

To eat better and work out more!

Ktande22 · December 2015

Turn a profit on my business. (Almost there!). Work out when this nausea slows down, eat better this pregnancy. Be more patient, more thoughtful and intentional in my marriage. Read/pray more. Serve at our church (we're considering taking on te 4th/5th grade class.

Ha ha ha ha ha.... right?

This is so hard, because before I found out about "Sticky" - I had different NYR's they were:

Run a 1:45 Half Marathon, for the Lululemon Seawheeze
If I meet that goal, train for Boston, goal race: Goodlife Victoria Marathon October 2016

I feel so superstitious and I don't want to change my New Years Resolutions until after the 19th of Jan.... So I'll get back to y'all....

Beckyboo730 · December 2015

Eat better, exercise more and better manage my time!!!

ollie&lulu · December 2015

I want to focus on being more present with my littles

We want to pay off our credit cards and try to save a little more. I would also like to eat healthy now more than ever before. I also want to graduate from grad school before the baby comes!

StarLiteKiss · December 2015

Choose healthier food choices and walk more. Also, start saving more in our savings account

MaryDoesHair85 · December 2015

Walk more and eat healthier

KUGirl09 · December 2015

Start doing a gestational diabetes diet now so that I'll stay healthier through my pregnancy and hopefully prevent having such a large baby again so I can have a VBAC.

Clean out all of my closets so that they are more functional and not full of random grandma nicknacks and chotchkies that I'll never use. Finish painting and styling my downstairs so it is more hospitable for family and 2 kiddos.

whitney812 · December 2015

I want to get rid of every bit of clutter around the house before baby comes. A little OCD about it

I also just want to work towards being a better person everyday. I like to think I am a kind, understanding person.. but knowing that I will be a mom before I know it, is really encouraging to becoming the "best" me I can be.

... and I guess I really need to kick the sugar habit. I own a dessert co. so it seems impossible, especially when all of my cravings have just been SUGAR, but I really want to treat my body right over this next year.

DH and I have talked about needing to be more connected as a family. We have new rules about phone usage after work and are going to make sure to implement a weekly date night (or at least try really hard). On a business level, I want to grow my two home businesses so I can entertain the idea of staying home with both my babies in the winter.

Mine is to stop cursing. I have a toddler and he's beginning to say "Oh Sh!t!" I looked at my husband and I was like, did he just say that? He looked at me like, yeah! You say it all the time. I didn't even realize. So that's that! lol No more bad mommy mouth!
