I'm writing these out to hold myself accountable,and to remember them!!! 2011 was probably the best year of my life so far, we bought a house, renovated a house, got married and went on a dream honeymoon; 2011 is going to be a tough year to top.
1. Finances - This is my main focus for 2012, and I really want to succeed. I want to pay off our credit cards, and learn to save money, something I have never been good at. Ideally, I would like to put at least 10% of what I make into a savings account every paycheck,my grandma always said to pay yourself first :)
2. Clean eats- Have better eating habits. I know what I need to do, but need to discipline myself to do it! This goes along with working out, and I would love to lose about 25 pounds. Hopefully planning better meals and food preparation will be helpful with this, I hope!
3. Be more frugal- with our household cleaners, food, and DIY projects. Things like making our own laundry detergent, using leftovers for new meals, and repurposing things for house projects. Society has fallen to far into a world where we think everything is disposable, and we just buy brand new. I'm not trying to change the world or anything, but if I can save money by reusing and repurposing, I will be happy. Plus if I can spend less money making things more customized to our taste it's a win win situation!!
4. Love- I want to make sure I never lose sight of why I fell in love with my husband. And I want to make him feel loved everyday! The same goes for my friends and family, but of course on a different level. Of everyone knows that you appreciate everything they do, and that you're glad they are in your life, that's a beautiful thing!
