New Year, New Goals

I've decided I really love New Year's. By the time the holidays are over, I'm feeling so done with whatever bad habits I've gotten into and seriously ready for some new resolutions! We also traditionally do a few home improvement projects every new years so I definitely look forward to that. 

Tonight for FHE we made our usual list of goals. Hopefully we'll stick with them throughout the year! Here's a few from each of us; maybe if I post them I'll be extra careful to keep them?

-learn to say prayers on her own

-learn to ride balance bike

-read 1 book a day (more of a goal for mom who never has the patience to read princess books)

-be a good helper for mom

-take ballet class

-ride "let it go"push car more (she insisted that this was her biggest goal)

-get potty trained & say goodbye to the binkie
