I was reading one of my favorite blogs www.moneysavingmom.com and was led to this blog http:/myoneword.org. I loved the idea they had of facing the year with one word in mind.
First, you are supposed to think about what kind of person you want to be at the end of the year or more importantly the kind of person God is leading you to be.
Second, you are supposed to think about words that describe that person.
Third, you pick one word that you will personify this year.
My word is: Charity
All these other goals are well and good but I am excited to do all that I do this year with this one word in mind. What would your one word be?

New Year 2013
Ok, so this post will not have any pictures because I am writing it on my kindle fire. I have been thinking about my new year resolutions and I thought it would be a good time to make some goals. Just as Christ "grew in wisdom and stature" I need to be continually improving myself.

- Pack Brian a nice lunch and note once a week.
- Talk about about budget monthly and week plans every Sunday.
- Make a list of 15 things I can do to show Brian love and do them.
- Read two books about Marriage.
Personal
- Have a summer and Halloween craft class. 25 total kids
- Complete 12 sewing projects.
- Learn to mend and shorten clothes. Complete 30 items.
- Read 36 books this year.
- Become a better teacher, seek to improve my Sharing Time lessons and start preparing 2 weeks ahead.
Be a more patient and loving mother
- Blog at least once a week about my kids and family, throughout the week write down the little things and the big things that make me smile in wonder and the things that make me want to scream.
- Play with my kids everyday.
- Take more pictures, make a picture book of Hannah. and one of the whole family.
- Laugh More.
- Read the Book of Mormon with my relationships with my kids in mind.
Physical
- Track calories and weight.

So that's it, now to put the plan into action. I will try to look at this monthly and report my progress.
