New year; new goals

It’s January 1, the time of New Year’s resolutions. If there is one thing I like about a new year, it’s that it seems like it’s a time for new beginnings, fresh decisions and a return to realizing what is really important.

There are so many resolutions I would like to make. But what is a resolution? Usually, I think it is more about something that we would like to become a new habit – or the breaking of an old habit. And to me, resolutions usually mean learning something new, and then putting it into practice.

Because I have so many new things I want to learn in the new year, I am not going to attempt them all at once. Instead, I am going to list them on my sidebar and then mark them off throughout the year as they are finished or become a habit. I may even add more as the year goes on. Most of my goals are centered around homesteading, as we have only been at this for less than a year.

Here are the new things I would like to learn and put into practice this year:

·         Sew

·         Feed my family healthier foods

·         Knit

·         Make soap

·         Start an outdoor herb garden

·         Grow and use herbs

·         Make yogurt

·         Perfect  my bread making

·         Start a container herb garden

·         Start a family recycling program

·         Write a book

Other things that I already know how to do, but need to put into practice:

·         Use a household management binder

·         Add high school classes to our homeschool

·         Paint every room in the house

·         Start clipping and using coupons again

·         Prepare weekly homeschool reports for hubby

·         Plan more field trips

·         Redo budget to reflect new house payment
