The Mann's-Party of Five: New Years Resolution

It appears I have some followers on this here blog and I received quite a bit of heckling over the holidays for not updated it. So, here is a quick update on some of my thoughts and maybe once I get this post finished I will post a new Christmas picture or two. I am sitting here typing on my new fancy laptop watching the Alamo bowl while I search the web for some inspirational organizational ideas. Since we moved here to SA and bought my Baby Boot Camp franchise I haven't been able to fall into a groove. I just feel so unorganized in all aspects of my life. My goal for this new year of 2012 is to get organized. More specifically I want to organize this toy store the kids got for Christmas; I want to plan out a years worth of budget; I want to plan out Tim and I's entire race schedule for the year to coincide with some overdue visits to our out of state families; I want to create a marketing plan for baby boot camp and get the word out there; I want a minimum of 10 moms who are regulars; I want to better organize my days; I want to make exercise a priority again and lose about 20 lbs of "baby weight" (haha!!!). The reason behind all of these goals is to be able to relax and spend a little more time enjoying my family. I decided to be a stay at home mom for a reason-and that reason was to be with my children, enjoy my children, teach my children and be the sole influence on them. Right now I don't feel like I am doing this well enough and the time I have with them before they are off to school is so short that I want to take more advantage of the opportunity and live in the moment with my beautiful boys.

And here is a toast to all those resolutions out there. May they all be achieved with ease and grace. May you all be blessed with happiness, health and lots of laughter! Happy New Year!
