List: Realistic Vows for the New Year.

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!

Here’s to a great night and an even more wonderfully memorable year.

*Cling*  Now excuse me while I sip some champagne…

Every year we all sit down and make a list of goals to complete during the next year of our life.

It’s very rare that we actually do any of the things on our list, no matter how good our intentions.

Instead of listing tedious goals that I know I won’t do, I decided to make realistic vows.

…and, no, I don’t vow to go to the gym every day for the whole year…

My 10 Realistic Vows for the Year 2016

1.  Wear My Clothes/Shoes/Pocket Books

I have so many expensive articles of clothing and accessories that I never wear.

I vow to change up my wardrobe and let my treasured beauties see some light!

I’m that obnoxious girl that doesn’t wear her shoes so the bottoms stay clean.  Sigh…

2.  Potty Train the Mushy

Mushy Face is creeping the two year marker (EEP!) in April.

I vow to try my hardest to get my Mushy to pee pee and poo poo in the potty!

Besides, diapers are so expensive and real yucky to clean up.  Bleh gag barf…

3.  Keep My Phone Charged

People can never, ever reach me because my phone is constantly dead.

I vow to keep my phone charged and be as reachable as possible.

You have an emergency??  Don’t hesitate to call me because my phone will ring in 2016!

4.  Be More Independent

I have gotten way too spoiled and rely on my future hubby to do all the things I used to do myself.

I vow to be less needy and to handle more things on my own.

Does that mean I have to pump my own gas now or actually drive myself somewhere?  Ug!!

5.  Be More Health Conscious

There was a time when I was all about eating smart, staying active, and just being healthy.

I vow to be more aware of my health, diet, and to be as active as possible.

Maybe I’ll even exchange my Cold Stone for green tea one night a week.  I kid, I kid!

6.  Slow Down

Due to my very hectic schedule, time has passed me faster than the speed of light.

I vow to slow down and actually enjoy all the little things 2016 has to offer me.

…and to take pictures!  I realized that I never do and now I regret missing those moments.

7.  Moisturize

My daily routine consists of me moisturizing my face, but I never moisturize my body.

I vow to make moisturizing my body a daily habit, even if it’s the spray and go by Vaseline.

Age is definitely creeping up on me and I definitely notice my skin is losing its vibrancy!

8.  Education

I finally got back on track to get my Bachelors degree in college this past semester.

I vow to continue to stay in school until I accomplish my goal and graduate!

That means added expenses and less time to enjoy 2016.  This definitely isn’t a luxurious vow.

9.  Stop Worrying

Worry is my middle name, and I have the gray hairs to prove it!

I vow to take a deep breath and distract my mind when I find myself obsessing over little things.

What do you mean that the creak last the night didn’t equal to a murderer hiding under my bed?!

10.  Make Some “Me” Time

Just because I’m a mommy and all wifed up, doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy some time for myself.

I vow to set apart some time for me, myself, and I…and maybe a girl friend…every week.

Hello my nook in Starbucks, a good book, and a peppermint mocha with no whip!

What are your vows for the year 2016?
