The Start of some GOALS!

Some days, I can't believe I've made it to 21, that I'm a homeowner, getting married, with a growing zoo at the house, and still manage to work a full time job! But sometimes, I have a day where I sit back and just thing about where I want to be, what I want to do in both life and as a project around the house, and when I think they need to be complete.  So, to be Simply Jennifered, this is a start to the GOALS for 2013: {In no specific order}

1.  Update the HOUSE: Drywall bedrooms, paint, chalkboard paint in the kitchen, get rid of the carpet in our bedroom, new front door & screen door. 

2.  Become more ORGANIZED!  Make some sort of filing system for the bills, sort through closets, piles of old bills and paperwork, and especially make a cleaning schedule! What needs to be done certain days of the week! & get rid of all the Moving Boxes!!!

3.  MORE HOME COOKED MEALS, AT THE TABLE! {Even if it's the picnic table outside for grilling days!}

Not in front of the TV, standing in the kitchen, putting it in tupperware and eating in the car.  To get quality time with the ones I care about without the distractions.  

4.  Plan a REALLY awesome vacation:  After last year's trip to New Hampshire, I realized how long it's been since I had some sort of vacation where I could forget about all the "adult things" I have to worry about on a daily basis. {That's a really awesome feeling to not worry about anything other than what's for dinner!} 

5.  More time for ME:  There's always time for the zoo, the house, work, errands, etc., but not ME.  Even if it's sitting on the couch with Alex, do my nails, homemade facemask, and watch a movie together, that still would be fantastic.  Learn how to take care of MYSELF, in a more "girly" way, as some of my friends put it! But I'll always be me. 

We're already off to a good start! {Thank you, Pinterest, for all the wonderful ideas! Now I wish I had all the time and money for all those creations!} All in good time, though! Can't wait for summer: Garage Sales! Until then, hopefully a few good antique stores :)

Something nice and thoughtful to leave you with tonight:

From one household to another, have a WONDERFUL night!
