Happy New Year! This year, rather than an over-arching list for the whole year, I'm attempting to accomplish something specific each month. Some are bigger projects that need to get done. Some are specific to events. Some will probably be changed before the year is out.
January: Make one of these note card journal calendars. And then use it. I have note cards, so if I don't get to making it right away, I can at least start journaling.
February: Deep clean my refrigerator. It's not a glamorous goal, but it needs to be done.
March: Make a spring/Easter decorative hanger for our door. Or maybe finish the one I started last year...
April: Make a reusable Swiffer duster refill (or two, since I have two dusters).
May: Make at least 2 "busy bag" learning activities for Jonah.
June: Get everything packed up, purged, and organized for our move. It's not a big move. Just back into town. But it is still moving, and all the fun that goes with it.
July: Get our new place set up, and routines reestablished. A new place, plus the busy-ness of moving, will throw everything off for awhile.
August: Take $10 and go to the dollar store and/or thrift store and find something to take from trash to treasure in a crafty way.
September: Bake myself a pretty birthday cake (or cupcakes, or whatever I'm in the mood for).
October: Begin planning Christmas gifts for the year. This last year went pretty well, because I planned early, but I still ended up working on quite a few projects well into December. This year I want to figure everything out and set up a schedule so I can spread the projects out more, and enjoy more free time (and baking!) in December.
November: Prepare an Advent calendar with fun activities for each day in December. I wanted to do this last year, but didn't end up having time.
December: Create at least 3 homemade Christmas decorations, including at least 1 with the kiddos. Projects are fun!
