New Years Resolutions! (And a challenge for my family and friends)

Well we’ve got a few, many are on my 30 before 30 list from a while back. Check it out here. I’m slowly working on that list, but here are our join goals for this year:

Be healthy – eating better for our heath and my stomach situation, walking more with the puppies, doing a ride or hike together on a regular basis, and lifting weights together on occasion.

Save money – We’d like to save about twice what we normally do in a year, not including our normal contributions to 401k and IRA’s; to do this we plan to not eat out at all this year, unless we are more than an hour from home or if friends are in from out of state (however going for coffee, dessert or drinks on occasion is allowed, and Sean gets two work lunches out per month); I am also working on trying to make a lot of things we usually buy – hand soap, laundry detergent, etc; there are a few other little things we’re going to try, but I’m sure I’ll get into those more as the year goes on.

Puppies – Take them for another training class, preferably in a group setting with other owners and dogs.

Remodeling – We’re still debating on how we want to go about this, but there are 3 portions to our remodeling project and we’d like to at least get one portion done.

Well I think that covers the most important things. I made them detailed because Julie informed me that with out specifics you have no true goals to work towards. Hopefully these are specific enough. I know my 30 before 30 is. Lets see what we can accomplish this year!!!

Now for the challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU EXCITED YET!?!?!?!!

Do you have a pinterest page. If you don’t use it check it out! I use it as a place to save all my projects ideas. Everything from craft ideas, to recipes I’d like to try, to remodeling ideas, and fashion. Here are my boards for you to check out. I have a ton of pins! Especially on my MAKE boards. So the challenge is…… Make 50 items this year from your pinterest page. If you don’t have one then make/try 50 things this year in general. I’d love it if you send me what you’ve tried. I can try and post them to the webpage and we can see how productive we all are this year!

If you think about it, that is only ONE project a WEEK. We can do that!!! And it can be as simple as trying a new recipe, checking out something you keep meaning to check out, or making a little something and going all DIY on the world. I’ll try to post mine as I do them. Now GET ON IT!!!
