As 2010 comes to a close-we look back at all the events of the past year. For the Goodmama Household, our house became one little sweet person fuller. We gained lots of love, kisses, cuddles, laughs, giggles, innocence-all in the little figure of Samantha Grace. We also LOST lots of sleep, sanity, “me time”, “us time” & “free time”.
2010 was “jam packed” at times-and “super slow” at others. For me, January-July 6th, 2010 went by at a snail’s pace as I waited for our little one to enter our family. Life began flying by in fast forward once SG made her debut.
2010 will forever be marked by Samantha. It will always be “her year”. 2010 also marked me wrapping up working and becoming a full-time stay at home mama (SO much fun!), continuing decorating our darling home, staying plugged into our church community, taking SG when she was six weeks old to Maui (so much easier than I thought it would be!), Jordan and I celebrating our three year anniversary (WOW!), toasting the Holidays with our friends & extended family and now…ringing in the new year.
I love fresh starts. I was always the kid who loved getting school supplies, new pens, paper, notebooks, etc. Not because I was necessary excited about starting the homework (not at all) but more because a new season was upon me. I love new seasons! I love the excitement and energy surrounding the new year-new goals made & new dreams hoped “up”. I don’t always follow every goal I put my mind on, actually, my goals many times “morph” into something different as the year goes on.
Yet-I love still dreaming out what I hope to accomplish the next year. This year especially. I am excited to begin 2011, as a mama, wife, friend, daughter & sister. I’m excited to see where my goals will lead me. Will they be the same come July? Who knows, but at least I am up for the growing that comes through striving.
So here’s to 2011-all the newness, the freshness, the hope-(especially for some more sleep!).
The “loose” List:
1. Blog 3 times a week.
(*This My Friends is a lofty Goal).
2. Make the bed 3 times a week.

2. Make the bed 3 times a week.
(*I used to make the bed religiously every morning. Now between varied wake-times, needed naps & laziness I haven’t. So here, is my goal in writing!)
3. Organize Closet- Give Away/Throw Away/New Hangers A Must!
4. Read More!

5. Lose 5 more. Enough Said.

6. One fun activity a month with Samantha. Something “new” each month. (i.e. Park, Pool, New Trail Walk). Something that’s free or already available through the neighborhood, community, gym or grandparent hosted 🙂
7. Womans Bible Study.
(*Gotta Stay Plugged In To Grow.)
8. Gym-3-4x a week. This is another lofty goal when things get crazy. But, its so important to me being a good mama & wife. Taking care of my health.
9. One household chore a week- for one hour. Set the timer. Clean one thing/place/space for an hour a week. Starting with Closet. Hopefully Ending with Attic. So much organizing to be done.
10. Memorize more Scripture. Be in the Word. Worry Less. Pray More.
