New Year's Resolution

I have never been very fond of New Year's Resolutions as I have found that most (if not all) of the time, these are hardly ever kept or achieved.

However, I have found that declaring my goals out loud (or putting it in writing somewhere public, (i.e. Facebook, blogs ) motivates me to work hard, or to at least try to work towards it.

So for 2013, here's my list although they seem more like goals more than resolutions.
1. Get back into shape! (Note to self: Round is NOT a shape!)
2. Write a blog post at least once week
3. Finish one book every week
4. Save save save!
5. Bring the kids to a fun place at least once a month
6. Read to the kids every night
7. Go on a mommy & daddy date at every other week
8. Learn to be more practical

Hmm... Doesn't seem much of a New Year's Resolution at all but those so far are my goals this year. Short, realistic (I think), and fairly easy to achieve... so here we go.

What Makes You Happy?

I'm feeling a bit sad and frustrated tonight. Nothing serious, just about making plans that don't really push through in the end. Nonetheless, I want to think of the little everyday things that makes me happy.

There are many other little things that make me happy but these are the only ones at the top of my head right now. After writing about it, I feel better already. Oh, and walking around our flat tonight for two hours doing nothing in my highest pair of heels amazingly did wonders to uplift my mood. Yes, I find that shallow too.
