So like any ‘normal’ mother, a New Year is upon us and it’s time to start thinking about those resolutions. I’d say my list is not unlike most. This year I will:
- get fit
- start eating right (and feeding the kids healthier)
- get organized (luckily Mabels has already helped with that!)
- stop drinking in the afternoon (just seeing if you’re paying attention)
- be more patient with the kids/my husband/my business partners (just seeing if Mumby is paying attention..hee,hee)
I’d guess these are pretty typical on the mommy circuit. Seems the list doesn’t change that much year to year. Strangely, the year plods along and I seem to be satisfied that if by December 31st I look at my kids and the head count is still the same.

Great resolutions Julie!
I’d challenge you to put a little more time into making easily measurable commitments. It’s more work upfront, but it’s also more satisfying to know that you’ve accomplished X, rather than just some vague idea that you’re doing better.
For example, “start eating right” could be:
- eat one home cooked meal a day / week / month / year
Just my $0.02.
Happy New Year!
Good point! Sold!
