5 Fall Goals

Leave it to Natalie to give me ideas and even assignments for my own blog.  She, as many of you know is the most dear of friends and the most creative person I know.  If you don't read her blog, you should: http://www.gossettgirl.com/.

Her challenge to me and a few other bloggers was to describe my 5 goals for fall.  Here they are:

Goal #1: Decorate our house...get the right furniture in the right places with the right colors on the wall.  What a fun project!   

Goal #2: . Organize our house.  Started last weekend with putting up shelves in the laundry room closet.  Let the organizing begin!

Goal #3: Try new recipes.  I love to tear out recipes from magazines.  I have quite a collection.  Now, I just have to try them. 

Goal #4: Find a new fitness passion.  Eight months ago, I had a back injury and still dealing with the limitations of that. I want to do bootcamp, but my body says no.  I want to do hot yoga, but my body says no.  I tried pilates and I say no (boring!).  I am going to try swimming next...

Goal #5: Eliminate the nagging, 'mean voice', and stress of getting Oli off to school. This was a goal I set for the first day of school. We are doing pretty well so far. The key has been: lunches made the night before, daycare bag packed the night before, when you come downstairs, you never go back upstairs (it is like a vortex that sucks Oli and then Julia follows).


Thanks, Natalie for challenging me to think about my goals for this season.
