2010 New Years Resolutions

I love a fresh slate.

I've always been open to change and enjoy making adjustments to make our lives better.

This must be why I've been making resolutions since I was a teen!

Looks like I made some last year too.....

hmmmm...I didn't do very well.  Let's try again this year!

1.   Read More Books....
I'm in a nice routine right now of reading for an hour before bed.  I'm loving it!

2.   Learn to Ski...
Currently working hard to lose weight so I can do this.

3.  Lose 30 pounds....
See #2

4.  More Whoopee...
I'm planning a romantic trip with hubby, but we need to *do it* more than once a month.

5.  Take a Cake Decorating Class.....
I want to make a kickass Gingerbread House next year and I'd like to make my kids' birthday cakes....but I need skills!

6.  Focus on the Family....
My monthly plan to keep my family on track and make 2010 the best year ever! Click HERE for the details so you can join in.
So I asked Alex and Mallory what their resolutions are and here's what they said:

Alex:

1.  Eat more Pizza
2.  Eat more Grapes
3.  Love

Mallory:

1.  Be a Princess
2.  Scream more
3.  Ride my bike

Run on over to Nanny Goats In Panties and join the Resolution party! And this time...mean it!  And Linky up with Amber Filkins for Friend Makin Monday!

    I stopped making New Years Resolutions a while ago. I make New Day Resolutions now and the big fall isn't as tragic (lol).

    Enjoy the remaining of 2009!

    I suspect that if your Make Whoopee resolution keeps up, then so will Mallory's "scream more" resolution :)

    I KID! I KID!

    Craig said your first resolution should be to take your Walmart pic and post it on facebook. In his words, "PAY UP CONNIE!"

    We love you!

    Have I mentioned that I love your new header picture? So gorgeous!!! Anyway, I'm still working on my list. Exercise has got to be on it somewhere, though! And focusing on the family is my top priority always. :)

    I'm not good with resolutions. I feel like it highlights my failures. :( How pitiful did that sound?

    I made Baby Girl's cake for her bday. It was easy. But then I didn't really care what it looked like. And I still need to post that picture.

    Lol, "scream more", love it. I should have "scream LESS" on mine. I'll post some resolutions in a couple of days, still thinking about them.

    I don't make birthday cakes anymore. I have discovered that giant sugar cookies are easier to make (even homemade) and much easier to decorate since you don't have to worry about smashing it like cake. And you can cut the cookie into whatever shape you want before you bake it. Much cheaper than buying special shaped cake pans.

    I love your "More Whoopee" resolution and I'll bet the hubby does too! My skiing days are over, though. I'm too scared of running into a tree, Sonny Bono style.

    Thanks so much for participating in the resolution party, Connie!

    Stopped by from Nanny Goats in Panties to read your goals (good ones by the way) and saw the SITS button!!! More Whoopee is one way to get your way more often-just sayin. Go for that cake decorating class goal-I did and now I teach. It's a blast, and you get so sick of cake and icing you don't want sweets-great way to accomplish goals 2 & 3!!!

    I think your family first program is off to a great start - just look at Alex's list: he want to love more... You are such a great mom!!

    I want to eat more pizza, have more whoopee and be a princess too. You have some awesome resolutions. Mine are boring by comparison. I need to think outside of the box.

    Good luck on achieving them all.
