New Year's Resolutions?

Do you make them? I used to. Then I quit. Then I made one to gain weight while I was pregnant (which was the first one I succeeded at). Then I quit again. Maybe I should not call them New Year's Resolutions. Perhaps something like, "stuff I needed to do anyway but just felt the need to start since it was a new year resolution." Would that work? Really too long to say in one sentence. But here is my stuff I need to do anyway list for the year in no particular order...

blog regularly (I won't even put a time frame because hey monthly is regular too)

declutter my life (house, storage, things, everywhere, keep only the necessary items, quit holding on to things just in case...)

stay true to my frugal ways (even with the addition of another job, grocery shopping once a month, eating at home, keeping the thermostat low, keeping up the search for free firewood, doing things ourselves instead of hiring folks to do it)

add more green things to my life (recycle more for sure. cook more meals at home, waste less, find alternate uses for items prior to recycling them, buy more second hand)

spend more quality time with Seth, Charles and NewBaby (quality [not quantity], plan more family outings, go on more family vacays together -read camping, work out a better routine for the evening

work on my relationship with God (funny I put that last and he should be first, I have just let this fall by the wayside only picking it up when needed, need to examine the drama I let myself be a part of, the type of people I pal around with, etc)

I suppose what I am saying is we all have areas of our life that we would like to work on. Mine are a constant struggle balancing time and energy (which I seem to lack lately...lol) but any mother can definitely empathize with that.
