With 2016 right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about New Year's Resolutions!
Feeling motivated? Share your New Year's Resolutions below!
Re: New Year's (and New Mom!) Resolutions
Mine are:
1) Stop comparing myself to others, especially other moms, because this is NOT helpful at all
2) Only post positive things on social media
3) Try to stop cursing, because I want to be a good example for LO
2. Become confident with cooking and making my own baby food
3. To not be so hard on myself and when I do get depressed, pick myself up with things I don't have any reason to be depressed about. This one is going to be tough
4. Open my Etsy shop after Christmas in hopes I can make enough money to continue to stay home with my baby. And to be confident that I can do it!
2.) Stop using my phone infront of little one. Especially texting.
2. Drop about 20lbs by summer
3. Get good marks when I start college in January
4. Get out more and socialize. Would like to do some kind of baby and me classes.
2. Hard core effort to lose baby weight.
3. Start regularly running again.
4. Get more organized so I can be a better multitasker.
2. Get better organized so that I can find time for me, for baby, and for work.
3. Get back the self confidence I had before I had the baby.
4. Detach myself from the phone and just enjoy my time with baby without any technology interferences.
5. Be present. Don't let technology be a wedge in my personal relationships.
2. Wean tv down to baby naptimes only, so she can't watch it at all.
3. Sew 5 days a week, at least 1h a day. I love it, and it makes me money, but I always feel like there's something else to do first.
4. Take kids outside every single day. Covered porch in extreme weather, or for a walk with the dog on a nice day.
5. Do something nice for DH every day.
2. Set a better schedule for working from home in our business
3. Begin a mommy/me class to socialize
4. Be less critical of myself at all times and just continue to do the best I can at all things
2) stop allowing others judgment to get to me, yes I'm a younger mom no that doesn't make me a bad one and I shouldn't let others make me think I am.
3) reach out and try to make a few friends with kids!
2. Find a better job! The stress and anxiety of having graduating from college, but not being able to find a job is killer.
3. Find my voice, stand up for myself, and not feel guilty about making decisions for my daughter and I.
4. Pray more, go to church when I need to, and learn to appreciate the good, bad, and ugly no matter what!
2- Less technology around baby; focus on her and not on anything else
3- Work on speaking to my husband in his love language
4- Continue to learn about things I'm interested in like photography, design, web development
5- Work on figuring out a better job that keeps me satisfied
2. Read to little one everyday
3. Try to be better with finances and build back up our savings account.
Most of my friends don't have kids yet. I still love them and cherish our friendship, but whenever we hang out - I just feel completely on a different page in life.
2. Breastfeed, pump at work and BF at home.
3. Daily exercise, even if it's just 15 minutes.
4. Become comfortable with grocery shopping and cooking for the family, not just myself. Practice weekly.
5. Do at least one mom/baby group activity a month.
6. Pay off credit card and build up savings.
7. Speak in Spanish with LO daily. Read Spanish bedtime story every night.
8. Limit absent minded technology use (phone, iPad, computer, tv, etc).
9. Involve/communicate with my out of state family more. Get them involved with LO, even though long distance.
10. Do/say something nice/loving for DH and LO every day.
11. Reflect on the good in my life and be grateful every morning.
12. Stop biting fingernails once and for all! I'm a 32 year old mother for goodness sake, it's time to stop.
13. Work towards my career goal and a job that allows spending more time with LO.
To get back to running (first 1/2 mile today and I didn't die!). I wish I had a running buddy!
To eliminate some debt.
To finish my doctorate (technically, graduation is January 2017).
To move (ugh again) to Washington so we can be closer to my family.
@chelseajeanene what are you hoping to sell on etsy?
I just want to make a million triangular drool bibs! I bought some for LO and they are amazing!
You'll have to let us know when you get it going!
1) be more patient, this includes with DH
2) continue to BF until at least 1 year
3) finish another certification at work
4) get my body back
5) get preggers again by the end of the year
6) keep DS intrigued, entertained and hungry for knowledge and growth of all kinds
2. Lose weight - eat healthier - exercise
3. Lower some debt - student loans
4. Declutter the house and get more organized - prep the night before for work and dropping LO at daycare
5. Stick with breastfeeding while back at work and pumping. Currently have low supply and supplementing
2. Find a new job that has more work/life balance.
3. Breastfeed for one year.
4. Start doing monthly/weekly date nights with hubby.
2: seek out more adventure and fun
3:make sure my babies laugh in controllably at least twice a day!
