3) Read my Bible daily. I started this in the last three months of 2012 and have done better, but not great. I started a Bible study with a wonderfully awesome lady at work and I have learned so much from her. What is funny is that while I was doing this a few nights back, I opened my Bible up randomly and happened upon this:
Hebrews 12:1 Therefore,
since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also
lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run
with endurance the race that is set before us.
What a perfect verse for me to stumble upon on a day that for whatever reason I had a particularly bad jogging session and was achy and sore. I hope to discover more truths like this. I want to raise Destructo to be a good and Godly man and learning more about the truths of the Bible will help me do just that.
4) Get back into being a couponing queen. Before Destructo was ever conceived, I was a couponing queen. Okay I was never as good as the ladies on television but a part of that was that I refuse to become a hoarder and buy 82 rolls of paper towels when I only have room for 30. But I had a well stocked pantry and occasionally even had to buy a dog toy because I had so many coupons that my groceries ended up being in the negative amounts after coupons. I kept up with it just at Publix for one year and I had saved nearly 2500 dollars with coupons.
I know that I will probably never get that good again, at least not while I am working full time as a toddler. But I hope to get back into it on a small scale so that once I am a stay at home mom, I can really save some money that way.

5) Work on improving my blog.
As you guys have probably noticed, I have a new look. It isn't finished yet either so stay tuned. I will also "introduce" you guys to the lovely lady who is responsible for this awesomeness once she is finished. But other than look wise, I hope to start a blog hop about mommy fails/ realistic parenting etc at some point in 2013 and also not focus solely on Destructo. But also start blogging about me and my goals etc. I figure you guys "know" Destructo, now you can get to know the mommy behind Destructo a bit more as well. It will also let me remember who I am since that can so often get lost in the craziness of raising children.

yay for the new look! It's awesome!! Good goals to have. I like to read Money Saving Mom too but have not got onto the couponing game. It's awesome that you saved 2.5K once!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am loving it so far. I wish I could save 2.5K every year. Maybe one day when I don't have a toddler running like crazy scattering all my piles of coupons as he goes by. Thanks for reading!
DeleteLove the new look!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it looked like before, but I think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI had a couple of the same goals! I started doing #writetheword to help me not only remember to read everyday, but also to read with intention (instead of my eyes glazing over! oops!!) I also need to get back into the couponing swing of things. During the holidays we were in a get-what-we need-when-we-have-the-money-to-get-it way and I need to get back my good frugal habits! Site looks great! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I get the eyes glazing over thing. That happens to me as well.
