I never made any new year's resolutions. I didn't really feel like it. But today, at this moment, I feel the need and the desire for changes in my life. There are so many things I need to improve on that this could be a very long post. So I will stick to a few.
Spiritually:
-Start having consitant Family Home Evenings every Monday night, with a lesson and everything. (Any suggestions for where to get fun ideas for little kidlets would be great) I am thinking I would like to get a felt board.
-Scripture study every day (I've been seriously neglecting this.)
-Praying more frequently and sincerely
Physically:
-Running three evenings a week. My friend Kathi and I are supposed to start tonight! I am actually excited. We went Thursday and while I have little endurance right now. We walked/jogged a little and then did some sprints at the field by the park. It got me sore and excited to get stronger and more fit.
-Eating well, drinking water, and cooking healthy meals for my family
-Smiling more and getting dressed before 1pm might be good for me too.
Personally:
-Show more patience, kind words, and personal attention to each person in our home.
-Work on developing skills and talents (find time to draw, sew, and learn)
-Be a better house keeper and make a schedule to help me
Like I said I could go on and on. I feel like it is important to write this down while I am really wanting to improve. So in a week when I might not be feeling it as much I can remind myself.

What Andrea said.
Sugar doodle was what I was going to say.
As for the flannel board- opt for putting magnets on the pictures and using your cooking sheets or pick some up from a thrift store. Kids love them and flannel wears out faster than magnets.
Your list is some of my list. Especially FHE. I've been sucking at this lately. I have no small children and my big kids are willing. It's all me :(
That is awesome. So Proud of you. It is crazy how it just makes you feel better and treat everyone else better when you do stuff for you. I need to work on everything you said also. So good job.
Oooh, love Kaelyn's magnent idea. I've really got to work on scriptures and exercise too. Maybe we could make a weekly phone date to check on how the other one is doing.
Oh, and FANTSTIC picture of Henry.
Great list! I know you can pull it all off! I need to be better at making lists and putting them where I can see them.
I think you need to kick it all off with reviewing your Patriarchal Blessing then asking Trent for a blessing so you'll have the stamina to make this all happen over time. You are a go getter! I love you and admire you so much!
