I haven't had a New Year's resolution for at least 10 years. Mainly because I can't seem to follow it for more than a few weeks. But I'm going to try it this year. And hopefully it'll become a habit. Hopefully. Here it is:

• say a prayer in the morning and at night, plus at mealtimes
• read scriptures with the kiddos, with the hubby, and individually
• work out, which will consist of cardio, weight, and flexibility exercises
• clean, which will consist of dusting, vaccuming, laundry, and the list goes on
• and most importantly, make lots of time to play and learn with the kiddos

• read the whole Book of Mormon
• lose the extra fat on my tummy and thighs
• potty train Logan and Taylor

2012, bring it on!!! I am ready for you!!! Are you ready for me???
