The Dreaded New Year Resolutions


The new year is upon us and resolutions are a plenty. Not in our house. I only started thinking resolutions while reading meaningful facebook posts, getting calls from long lost friends and colleagues and reading new year messages from my favourite posters. 

I realized everyone seemed to be on the resolution bandwagon and I had better jump aboard or risk wasting the year away. I tend to make quiet changes rather than making bold statements to the world. I guess that way if I fail I will also fail quietly. It also makes me less accountable but that's not a good thing.

So although resolutions are not my forte, I have been following a few New Year plans. Not my plans of course, someone else's. I've begun with a plan to get my house in tip top shape with The January Cure from Apartment Therapy.  If you haven't checked out this site yet, you should.  I love it.

Here's another plan I learned about on Facebook.  This one is to help you save money.  It's the 52 week challenge.  Basically, you save the amount of money for the week it is.  So, on week 1 you save $1 and on week 2 you save $2 and so on until week 52 when you will have saved a total of $1,378.00.  I'd love to double that number but considering this blog doesn't pay me anything, that could be a challenge.

For those of you with picky eaters and wanting to get healthy.  Here's another great idea for a healthy year from Jennifer Tyler Lee at the Huffington Post.

I hope these give you some ideas for the new year.  But no pressure, there's always next year. 

Cheers,
Susie
