I am so excited about this year! 2022 was such a great year and I’m hoping those good vibes continue into 2023.
Here are some things that are on my mind for this year, in no particular order.
More Walks
I have loved walking with the kids after dinner and I want that to continue! Getting fresh air puts us all in a better mood. I’m really going to aim to walk daily.
More Vacation Trips
We are planning to go back to Cinnamon Shore in May and I would love to get there again in the fall. We like going during school so it’s not as crazy 🙂 It was such a fun family trip last year and I want to make it an annual thing!
Ideally we would get back to Minnesota for two weeks this summer to escape the brutal hear – fingers crossed we can make that happen also.
Less TV Time
There is truly nothing I’m interested in watching lately (alone – my husband and I have good shows!) so I want to spend less time mindlessly channel hopping at night. I want to spend more time needlepointing, listening to books or reading. I don’t need to waste time watching dumb stuff!
More Social Activities
This might sound funny but it really was hard for me to plan social events last year. I just felt like I didn’t know anyone (I didn’t!) so who would I invite over. Now I have friends and I want to do something social weekly – whether it’s a playdate, casual dinner when our SOs work, or a walk. I feel so refreshed when I have time to talk with other adults outside my family!!!
In that same vein – I also want to make sure my husband and I have date nights twice a month. Ideally we would leave the house but if that isn’t possible I want to start doing at home date nights. We can make an adult dinner after the kids and then play a game or watch a movie without our phones. Basically I want to have time that is different than our normal nighttime routine!
There are many more random things on my radar – more vegetables, more water, more time with each kid individually – but these are the tops of my list. I hope you have some positive things coming your way in 2023!
