Resolutions

I have many resolution or plans for the new year.  Hopefully I can actually stick to some of them.  

Personal
- stretch: I really need to be better about stretching on a regular basis.
- garden: have a bigger garden and be more proactive with it.
- books: read one book a month, this may be a bit of a challenge with my crazy school semester that is coming up
-photography: continue taking a photo a day of Leland and try to expand my photo subjects beyond Leland.
-be a better mom and wife: improvements can always be made

Food
-try to buy everything organic, local or seasonal: we already buy our produce organic and local when possible.  I need to be better about buying seasonal products.
- eat less meat, chocolate and sugar: we limit ourselves to one meal a week with meat, but I still feel like this is a lot
- be better about making everything from scratch.
-try to freeze and can produce when it is in season for year round use.

Sustainable
- be more conscious about buying products: try to buy used, or items with less packaging, or items that were made locally/sustainably
-try to use the air conditioner as little as possible this summer

Leland's resolutions are to be happy, healthy and eat as much as possible. 

New Year's Resolution?

I guess I have decided to try and stick to some resolutions this year.

1. Working out/getting in shape.  I am not going all out or anything but I have created a monthly calendar of doing something everyday, lifting, yoga dvds, or running.  So far I have been good about sticking to it, but we will see how it goes.  I hope to change it a little every month and add in hiking once the weather is nicer.

2. Be craftier.  I want to learn how to sew- signed up for a class in a month and will have a sewing machine here this week.  I want to re-learn how to knit, have yet to sign up for a class but plan to do so soon.  Buy a better camera in order to start taking better photos.  Paint, draw, write, etc.

3. Eat better.  We eat pretty well but I need to try and stay from the sweets a little better and make sure to stay away from boxed meals.  We aren't that bad with these but I feel we could be better.

Hopefully I will be able to keep this throughout the year, but we shall see.
