What do you hope to get done in 2016? Big or small?
-
I just bought the magic art of tidying up which I plan to read after I finish my taxes. Hopefully that will motivate me to....
Organize my closet. Purge unworn clothes. I hang on to too many things just in case.
Go through all the random closets in my house, organize/purge/donate. Also my basement *shudder*
Figure out a toy rotation system for T. Advice?
Get serious about fitness. I got a Fitbit 1.5 weeks ago and I have already lost a few lbs. I have a gym membership I don't use.

@lamariniere: I'd love to see your photos. I did a 52 wk of LO posted on IG- after she is 1 we will go to 1x a month. I remember you saying that yours were mostly in your home. Wall me the details of you would be willing. I love looking at photo project.
-
1) Lose 20 lbs (ugh). 10 to get to pre-baby weight, and 10 vanity.
2) Don't know if this counts as a project but it was my main resolution for 2016 - establish and stick to boundaries that protect our family time. I am getting ready to end maternity leave and that will mean going from seeing DS all day long everyday to an hour in the morning and an hour at night. :'( Therefore, I need to be STRONG about saying no to excessive community involvement, extra things at work, committees, and social plans. I was almost never home pre-baby so this is going to be difficult for me. But it's the only way I can preserve some of my free time to be with my baby!!
-
A lot!
Build my resume
Get ready for bebe
Adjust to baby
Lose baby weight and be active
Save
SurviveWe are having a wild year already, so mostly organizing and cleaning for the bebe, then adjusting and surviving! DH is undergoing a career change, so that will hopefully get smoothed out soon so we can adjust to his new schedule.
-
@travellingbee: isn't it so hard to take care of med issues? It is for me! Obviously we do for LO, but when it comes to DH and I we put things off. I just loathe appointments, especially dental! I need to get on the wagon!
-
We just bought a house, and I'm pretty psyched that I have everything unpacked and organized two weeks after moving in. I'd like to keep it that way, so I divided the house into 12 "sections" and will organize/deep clean/etc one of the sections each month. I'm really, really hoping to keep this up, so I never feel like I need to clean everything.
-
@Greentea: yup! We both totally procrastinate on doctors appts. We both need to go to the dermatologist as well and get all our birthmarks checked out.
-
We just bought a house so lots of projects

Paint as much as possible before ds2 comes.
Survive after that. -
