2015 Check In

Last year I made a few goals for the new year (in February...haha) and I thought I'd do a little check in to see how I did....

In 2015…

I want to read: 5 books. FAIL. I started a couple...but I was having to read the same page 5+ times and still couldn't tell you what I just read sooooo we'll try that one again this year lol 

I want to make: more meals at home (3x a week). CHECK! It took me awhile to get into a good rhythm (like basically until Noah turned 6 months...#truth) but for the most part, we eat at home during the week and treat ourselves on the weekend. I usually cook 3-4 times and we have leftovers the other night, which has been a struggle because we are not leftover eaters lol 

I want to visit: anywhere. CHECK! We managed to take a couple little trips this year and I am so glad it worked out. 

I want to change: lazy habits. FAIL. Eeek. Definitely trying this one again this year, too. In some ways I have gotten better, I mean it's hard to be too lazy when you have a toddler getting into everything all day, but I ain't losing any weight so obviously something's gotta change in this department.

I want to be better at: going with the flow. CHECK! It was really tough for me to let it go, let it goooo! (in my best Frozen voice) but I just reminded myself daily that taking care of a baby is more important than vacuuming and guess what. We all survived. And eventually, as Noah got older and could entertain himself for short periods of time, I was able to get the bare minimum done, and it hast just gotten easier and easier as he continues to get older. And I learned how to do it at super sonic speed to get the most done, ha. 

Most of all, I want: to be the best Mom. CHECK, obviously. :) 

Not too bad, 4/6! I will take that as a success seeing as we were also adjusting to a new baby and the changes that that brings every step of the way. They sure do change everything, but it's so worth it :)

Here's to 2016! Happy New Year!!
