2017 Bucket List

I'm not one for making resolutions... I'm a tad pessimistic I will follow through, and then when I don't I have to deal with the repercussion of the guilt and shame of failing, nope, not into that! However I am one for making goals, there's less obligation and more hopefulness.

Usually at the beginning of the year, or near my birthday, I make a goals bucket list for the year to come. I've been rackin' my brain trying to think of things I want to accomplish this year and it's hard! This season of life we're in (3 small children + a husband officially starting the program to get his CPA designation) really debilitates your thought process for having hopes and dreams... all I can hope for is making it to naptime without losing my cool.

So I decided this year I was going to break it down a little bit differently. I looked at key areas in my life and evaluated where I want to go with them. This compartmentalization really helped my groggy brain function much better.

Kids

Rylee: Start a new activity (complete! Gymnastics started last week), learn to ride her bike, teach her to tie her shoes.

Zachery: Work harder with his speech development, lose the soother, lose daytime diapers (so close!).

Adelyne: Begin potty training, move into a big girl bed.

Do something we haven't done before (some ideas... snowboarding, hiking, camping, fishing).

Have one on one dates with mommy and daddy.

Husband

Once a month date night.
