So I have lots of goals this year. I figure if blog about them, I will have a better chance of achieving them! All of you can encourage me when you see me!
Goal #1
I have some major reading goals for this year. Since we've pretty well decided that we aren't going to use much time watching television anymore (except for football, of course!), I'm hoping to read more books than I did last year. (I think I squeezed in 4 or 5 last year...not counting all of the chapter books that I read to the girls...I just don't think I want to count The Boxcar Children, The Wizard of Oz, and Mr. Popper's Penguins in my number).
I'm hoping to do better this year. I'm off to a great start since I've made it through The Total Money Makeover already! I'll post about a few of the other ones that I want to read soon!
Goal #2
I'm working on learning my new camera inside and out. I'm definitely going to be taking lots of pictures of my new niece! And I'm taking lots of the girls!
Goal #3
Flossing. I get scolded every time I go to the dentist for not flossing. I don't even know...when is the best time? Morning or night? Allie...I'm pretty sure you read my blog regularly (and I know that you know!)...please fill me in.
As you know, we had several dental bills this year, and I'm ready to not have any for a very long time! I will be a good dental care leader to my children so that they make it a priority as well. Enough said.
Goal #4
Sew. Sew. Sew. I want to sew a whole lot more this year! Thankfully, my friend Deanna wants to scrapbook a lot more this year. So, we set up a girls night once a month between now and May, so that she can scrap and I can sew. We'll have to see if we scrap 'n sew more than we talk. We tend to talk a lot.
Goal #5
Host 6 families/people in our home that we haven't hosted before. We have lots of great friends (whom we love!), but we need to make sure that we're spreadin' the love. We want to get to know more people that we see regularly (but maybe don't know as well as we should!).
Goal #6
Run a 5K in less than 28 minutes. I'll start working on this in April.

Hey Jackie
I've had to start working on the flossing thing too. I've had some major cavities lately. I think Jessie flosses at night, and she recommended doing it before you brush your teeth, which I've now started to do. But, I'm not exactly an expert. I'll have to call her and get her expert advice.
I love that I made it into the blog for flossing!
