Happy New Year! How did you ring in 2012? Our New Year’s was really low-key. The three littles had bedtime as usual (they’d never make it to midnight anyway and I am not about to have three grouchy boys in the morning! Know what I mean, mammas?) Mark and I watched a movie and were sound asleep by 11pm. Such is life!
I love January and the feeling of starting anew. I’m also a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. They keep me grounded and intentional, even if I don’t accomplish them all. This year, I separated my goals into three sections: To Read, To Bake, and To Accomplish. Here are a few of my goals for 2012 (along with some links!). I’d love to hear some of yours as well!
To Read
To Bake
-
Bread from scratch (not using the bread machine!)
To Accomplish
-
Wean myself off of soda
-
Have all of the boys’ baby books up to date
-
Finish my mom’s family scrapbook project
-
Install hardwood floors
-
Attack our student loan debt and pay off the car
-
Eat out less and cook healthy, homemade food more!
-
Make low-cost, at-home date nights a priority
-
Simplify and organize some of the “hot spots” in our home (closets, boys toys, etc)
-
Find more easy ways to serve others as a family
-
Make fun memories!
Okay now I have a great source for new book recs! 🙂
Love this list of goals Ashley!
Thank you for being such a wonderful blogging friend in 2011!
Wishing you many blessings for 2012!

I really like your reading list!
I loved The Glass Castle, it ended up being one of my favorite nonfiction books ever and got me started on memoirs. I love reading them now and they're my first pick genre.
