New Home Resolutions

As with any new endeavor, it becomes important to decide how to improve upon your last attempt. Therefore, I am trying to create good habits from the beginning with this new home.

Here are some of the old habits I am trying to break and new ones I am trying to implement:

  • Keep from forming a designated spot on the bedroom FLOOR for discarded clothing. Try for the hamper or hangers instead.
  • During nap times, do a customary 15 minute straighten to keep home from appearing as if a Madionic bomb went off. This alleviates embarrassment during friend and family drive-by visits.
  • Do a quick clean of the house weekly, so that it takes half an hour as compared to days.
  • Refrain from allowing litter box to overflow as current location adjoins society. This will allay gas mask usage in cat-pot areas.
  • Dress from head to toe IN-THE-MORNING, not minutes before Josh walks in the door.
  • Invite friends and/or family over for dinner once a week, thus helping keep the five afore mentioned tasks in hand.
  • Exercise 3 times a week to help remove last of pregnancy pounds. Make this top priority during nap time.
  • Implement date nights at least bi-weekly. Make use of babysitting staff (i.e. grandparents and honorary aunts) who are wishing to pound down the door in their eagerness.
We'll see how it goes. Definitely sounds like a challenge.

I really appreciate these goals, Kelly! I could definitely benefit from applying most of them (we don't have an Izzy at our house). Your renovations looks great so far; I especially love your daughter's room! Thanks so much for reading my blog and letting me take a peek at yours!
