{Side note: I went to get a trim last week and ended up getting about 4-5 inches cut off. I have super healthy hair now, but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss my long hair.]
I can't believe it's January. And it's 2012. No seriously, I sound so cliche, but really. This is the year our baby boy will be born and hopefully we sell and find a home that we will be in for a very very long time.
Do you do New Year's Resolutions? It seems nowadays everyone likes to call them goals. Whichever way you want to call it, I like to always refresh at the beginning of the year and reflect back on things I would like do more or less of. I just looked over my goals from last year; looks like I need to revisit them throughout the year, some I think I accomplished others I definitely did not. This year I have a couple of goals in mind--one of the main things I would like to do is be more purposeful. More purposeful with my kids, my husband, my family, and friends. To spread myself a bit for someone else. Send that card for no reason. Deliver a meal to a friend in need. Leave cookies on a doorstep. Play with my kids. Like really play. Put down my phone and play. Sounds silly, but I get so distracted with technology. A quick second here and there and it adds up. Another goal of mine is to be more savvy with our money. I used to be really good with being on a "Dave Ramsey" budget--using cash for everything. But I have definitely slipped. Mainly with online purchasing. I get so many great deal-sites delivered to my inbox everyday and trust me, it is so tempting. Time to get back on a budget. I would love to be completely debt-free (besides a house payment). We aren't far from it (silly student loan), so I know we can do it.
And my top goal: to eat a dessert from every local restaurant in in my town. Which pretty much goes against everyone elses goal to get fit. What can I say, I like to go against the flow.
So, tell me what are you looking forward to this year? Have you set any goals?

The putting down the phone goal is great! Sometimes at the end of the day I feel like I have spent 95% of my day on my phone and 5% of my day actually living. So sad. It is a big struggle and I know it sounds silly. Anther goal I have is to pay off debt. #1 goal is to just ENJOY. Be happy with what I have.
First off- you look radiant!
My resolution is to read more - I'm so involved in social media at work and home that I forgot how fun it is to sit back with a book.
I also want to focus more on becoming a better person - no more judgy (sp?) momma - I want to set a better example for my son and future children! Happy New Year to you and your family!
happy new year!
so, i tagged you over on my post today ;)
Yes, I need to put my phone down more too. It definitely gets in the way sometimes :( I'm trying to read through the Bible. That was my goal last year, and I got a little more than halfway through. I'd really like to finish this year. And yes, more purposeful. And more trusting in Him.
You look so gorgeous!
I love your goals. I may have mentioned my phone usage in my goals for 2012, too. I have a love/hate relationship with technology!
Also, I can't believe you are 21 weeks pregnant here. You look GREAT!
