Normally, I don't set New Year's Resolutions. I never stick with them and to be quite honest I think it is a horrible time of year to start resolutions. I think it should be a time that works for you. However, I do think that the beginning of every year you should review and set new goals. Here are mine:
1. Be more patient and content with what I have. I wish I would just enjoy life and how it is right now. I think I'd be a lot happier if I were to do this. I'm always thinking about what will happen next (Leo coming, buying a house, nonmaternity clothes, new furniture, new camera, etc, etc, etc). I also get really upset if things don't work out exactly how I thought they would. Sometimes it is seriously so bad that I get depressed about it. It could be about the stupiest thing too. I have so much to be grateful right now in this moment.
2. Be a better wife. I've been trying very hard to be better at showing Kyle that I really do appreciate him. I'm going to continue to try to do this. He is such a hard worker and deserves an awesome wife.
3. Be a great mom. I still am trying to figure out just what kinda of mother I want to be. That maybe a whole other topic for another future post. I just know I want my kids to love me...I want other people to see that I love my kids and that they love me too.
4. Get healthy. I seriously need to get some exercise and take better care of my body that God has given me. I want my kids to grow up with a mom who plays with them, not just sits on the side lines and watches.
5. My art work. I want to start selling it online. I need to start shooting new stuff too (badly). I just need to shoot, period! This will definetly take some effort but I really really want to do it. I need inspiration. I think I'm going to start carrying my camera around with me a lot more often.
6. Read The Book of Mormon. It has been a while since I just sat down to read the Book of Mormon. I have no excuse at all. This would be a good thing to do with Leo. It is never to early to start, right!

And the exercising thing. I'm a young mom, I should look like it. Good Luck with your goals Kelly I know you can do it!!!
