New Years Resolutions/To Do List

This year I am really going to get serious on my Resolution list. Every year I feel a need for change in someway shape or form. But this year is a bit different. I am starting a brand new job on Monday, January 3rd. Back to work after almost 7 1/2 years off (I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom with my two boys). So there will be ALOT of new changes in my household. I feel like I should take this opportunity to start a few changes in all the areas of my life. This list reads a little more like a TO DO LIST than a resolution list. Which honestly works better with my personality, I am a list maker...I live & breath by lists! :)

I have compartmentalized my list by different areas in my life.

Here goes...

-Buy more locally grown foods (Farmers Market)

-Cook more from scratch
-Can/Freeze more food
