January is a dumb time for New Year's and resolutions! As a mom, I'm exhausted. I can't think past all the holiday festivities, winter vacation, and family get-togethers.
My youngest is in 2nd grade now and I realized that September is my new January! I'm ready to see what I can accomplish in the next 10 months. I'm ready to set some goals and squeeze everything I can into my relatively short, sweet life.
It's also a time to make sure that the things we really value as a family have a place in the kids scheduled school year lives.
I resolve to:
- X off days on our calendar every month where our schedule is to NOT have a schedule.
- Discover new nature places that fit the evolving requirements of my growing kids.
- Purposefully take myself out of my comfort zone (not "purposely" -- there's a difference).
- Say "no."
- Write like everything depends on it. (I could also call this "finish travel books" but that sounds lame.)
- Play.
- Empower parents.
- Finish my course to become a Certified Interpretive Guide (CIG) by the National Association for Interpreters.
- Launch beta version of NaturePlayClub.com membership site. Stay tuned.
- Camp more.
- Give gratitude for the many amazing people in my life.
- Learn something new every day.
- "Simply wake up a better person than when I went to bed." -Sidney Poitier
