Southern Mama of Two

I've been thinking a lot at what I want to accomplish in 2017. I feel like this is going to be my year! I feel like it's a fresh, new start! I hate the word "resolutions", so I use the word "goals" to describe what I want to accomplish this year. I thought it would be a good idea to list my goals for 2017, then look back on them and see what I actually did accomplish! 1. Spend more time with my girls and less time on the phone. 2. More church time. 3. Blog more. 4. Travel more. 5. Stress less. 6. Drink more water. 7. Eat healthier. 8. Spend less money on material things and more on making memories. 9. Pay off one big bill. 10. Laugh a lot more. These may seem like silly unrealistic goals to some, but to me they are something I want to strive to reach in 2017!!!

I keep saying "I can't wait for 2016 to end already", but after looking back over the last year I really can't complain. 2016 had its ups and downs, but I am blessed far more than I should be.
