Getting The Plan Together

I've read the magazines, watched Martha Stewart and done online research. Now I'm putting all those tips and tricks together into a resolution plan that should work for me and my family.

I broke down big resolutions like "get healthier" and "get more organized" into smaller resolutions and as I work out my plan, each month will focus on an area of the bigger resolution. I hope doing it this way will help modify my overall behavior and not be to overwhelming to start.

I'm keeping January kind of a planning month. We always have a huge NYE party and of course the Christmas decorations come down...blah blah blah

I do however have some breakdowns that we (my hubby and I) will work on before jumping in deeper water in February.

Get healther:

Drink more water each day - 5 bottles (stainless!) or 5 glasses at least. More is better

Do 20-30 minutes of "Just Dance 3" for Wii 3 times a week

Get more organized:

All recycling off the counter and to the bin each night (not by the door to the garage, actually IN the bin)

All clothes off the floor of the bedroom and bathroom before turning in at night

Make the bed each morning

Do things I enjoy guilt free:

Scrapbook the second Friday evening of the month

Spend more time with hubby:

Have TV off "game night" the third Friday of the month

Have a couples date night every other month starting in January

I'm currently working on a weekly "cleaning" schedule that will give us time have fun with our toddler, each other, and by ourselves but still not let the house fall into chaos. Hopefully my hubby will get on board...

I feel pretty good about our success this year.
