My husband and I are not typical "new years resolutions" type people. He kind of just makes something up, something that looks appealing to him for the moment and says that's what it is. That's my husband for you. As for myself, I don't usually pick what you'd classify as typical resolutions; weight loss, read more, etc. Its hard for myself to focus on something truly for me. I'd rather invest my time and energy into something that will help us as whole family unit. This year I have picked a few items to focus on:
Organization: With a big moving coming up within the next 6 months (NO we haven't found out yet, hopefully soon, but if you ask my bestie, its OR lol) this seems like the most logical one that I can focus on. I would like to think I am pretty organized for a household with 2 kids 4 and under. I love storage tubs, especially ones with drawers in them. I have all of C's school stuff in one of those as well as her art supplies. However, there is always room for improvement. I've seen so many cool things on Pinterest for this and if you'd like to check what I've found, here's my page link here. I've been slowly adding things and some might not be in the right category, hence the need for organization.
Quality Time: Lets be real. As a stay at home mom, I spend ALL day with my kiddos. I am not complaining, but sometimes I can lose focus on whats important when it comes to them. I am making it a goal to not just spend "time" together but quality time together. Even if its just for a few minutes, those minutes need to be focused on them. So easy to say, however, sometimes so hard to initiate. There are sometimes so many other things that I could be doing. However, I plan to make an effort to ignore the voice in my head about the laundry, dishes etc, and focus on my ever-growing children. I will not get this time back, so making it count is very important to me.

These are what's important to me. Along with attempting to get a date night with my loving husband of 5+years, but lets be real here, that probably wont happen anytime soon. *smile*
What are some of your resoultions? Are they for yourself, family or others? No shame if they're all just for you. We're human and sometimes we need to work on ourselves to help others.
