Resolutions You Can Keep
Weight loss, eating right, spending less, yada yada.
Last year, my mom figured it out: make a New Years Resolution you can keep! She spent 2009 buying a new pair of shoes each month. This proved fruitful for her {and for Macys} as you can see in her year-end recap photo below.
I do usually take my resolutions very seriously. Last year I vowed to get better at cooking, eat out less, and eat leftovers. I didn’t move mountains, but I definitely took a step in the right direction. This year, I can’t seem to see past our due date, April 1st, let alone make goals for the whole year. We’ll just have to make good on the resolution we’ve already made: start a family!
And if you want to stick to the serious self-improvement resolutions – great! {But throw in a fun one too, k? Go to the beach more, bake cookies once a month, go out to lunch with a different friend each week…}
Let me know you stopped by »
congrats on your resolution – that’s an exciting one! i do like your spin on things, ie. to have a fun resolution or two – i think we can definitely use those :)
you’re mom is a genius!
Ha! I love your Mom’s resolution!
whoa, nelly! those yellow slingbacks have my name written all over them. please share the info on them!
your sweet baby is due on april fool’s day??? oh brooke! (ha ha ha) you can have so much fun with that!
I am loving this resolution! Your mom is the best and oh so brilliant – as always! I am so excited that you are going to be a mama! Happy New Year to you,Jason and lil babes!
Buy a new pair of shoes a month, now that’s a resolution I could keep :)
I’m seriously considering doing this. I LOVE your Mama’s resolution. Do you know what she’s doing for 2010?
love it! i think i might just have to copy your mom!
i would have thought those were your shoes if i hadn’t read the post. your mom has great taste in shoes. i love both the yellow and blue ones. note to self: go to macy’s more often!
I think focusing on your new baby is plenty of a resolution for you! Mine is to get healthier… kind of vague, but I like having some flexibility so that I can adapt the meaning to fit into my life. Might seem like a bit of a cop-out but it actually seems to keep me honest and on track :)
That is the best idea I have ever heard. Your mom is awesome!
