So a couple of hours ago, after a day of Super Why, cuddles in this rainy cold weather, a meal of typical chicken nuggets and mac n cheese..I looked down at the clock/date on my computer and noticed its New Years Eve. Ha, now I knew up til today it was coming sure but as a stay at home mom, my days typically run together. Im trying to improvise some festivity into the day. I printed off some related color pages, pulled out a couple of movies and have some cookies baking. Stephen gets off at 6 so hopefully we can have a yummy dinner and salvage a little of the holiday. Im sure Ill be the only one still up at midnight but hopefully we will have a little bit of fun family time.
What is your family doing for New Years Eve? Are you leaving the kids with a sitter and heading out? Are you staying home and enjoying some family time? Do you have traditions for New Years Day? Growing up my dad always cooked a nice meal on New Years Day. It always included black eyed peas and greens(luck and money in the new year). I wish Stephen was off so we could go and join the meal this year too. I wonder if we could figure out cooking greens? Any tips or advice? Maybe it would count if we just eat green beans or peas...
Anyways, my New Year's Resolutions are as follows:
Organize our home. It isnt very big and easily gets messy since we have to many things without a spot. So Id like to spend the next couple of months working on that.
Create a budget for our family that allows for smarter spending and saving so that we arent always in a small place.
Maybe Ill also look into college classes, someday my kids will be in school with their own little lives, Id like to have something I can do at that point. I dont think I want to go back into weddings since so much of it takes place on weekends. I dont think I can give up weekends with my kids.
Id love to hear the resolutions of others! Leave a comment or link me to your New Years blog post!
