Did I Make 'Em or Break 'Em?
So let's see how I did on last years resolutions. Remember, this is my blog so I get to make as many excuses as I want...
1. Less sugar. This is hard to measure. If I were to be honest, I would say I probably didn't do a good job.
2. More flax seed oil. After our bottle of oil was gone, I gave up trying to get the boys to take it and bought capsules. I was taking them until I got pregnant, then I stopped because I wasn't sure it was safe during pregnancy (it is a mild blood thinner.)
3. Try a new meal at least every two weeks. I started out really good with this but after the first few "new" meals were not well received, I lost my steam. I did end the year on a good note though, I have made several new meals in our slow cooker. Even though the cooking might not of been something different, I will say we make almost every single meal at home so that should count for something! We might get BK about twice a month on the way home from church, but thats it for take out/eat out.
4. Increase fruits and vegetables. Another one that is hard to measure, but judging by how much more often I buy them, I would say fruits and vegetables were increased.
5. Cut the boys hair more often. I don't think I cut their hair any more often than I used to. But seriously, it's such a huge ordeal to do this!!
6. Read the Whole Bible. Finally one that is measurable. Yes, I did this!!
7. Spend more time cleaning every day. I would probably have to say no on this one. In my defense though, Jonah was not mobile when I made this resolution.
8. Send more emails & written correspondence. No, I don't think I did this. In fact, we went months in this house without a book of stamps. This is the only resolution I feel bad for not keeping.
9. Start some light weight lifting. Actually, I forgot about this one.
10. Go shopping less. I think I did really good here, I shopped A LOT less this past year.
Okay, so I didn't do very good. However, I still think it's a great idea to set goals. This year I think I will put them on the fridge so I don't forget any.

It boggles my mind that you are able to get as much done as you do -- I am impressed! I can't believe the amount of sewing you get done, and I think you are a good email correspondent. I love your blog! With the major move this year, and a two week trip, I think you've had a very good year -- you should be proud of the job you are doing.
I think you did good! Most people don't accomplish any of their goals, and you've done some of them! That's great.
So cool to be able to look back and see if you stuck to your resolutions! I think you did an awesome job! Here's to a great new year and a new baby on the way for you and your family!
Not too shabby! Your list is way bigger than mine! I only had a few and I don't think I did that good.
Less sugar...hard to do...at least I know for me :) I need my sugar fix! Clean more often....I do that anyway. I'm a clean freak, but I have 3 less children :)
