I shall not use the word “resolutions” because there is too much potential disappointment wrapped up in it, but “goals” sounds okay to me. So here are my goals for 2012…

1. Cook more meals. Related to this, start instituting “family meal” time. Right now, the boys eat around 6pm, and George and I eat after they go to bed (around 8.) I think they’ll eat better if we all eat together, and it’s important to me that we eat as a family. It’s time to start.

2. Inspired by Angela, try to phase out parabens in my personal care items. I’m not going to chuck everything in my bathroom and start from scratch, but as I replace items, I will try to buy paraben-free alternatives. That should hopefully be easier, financially.

3. I am going to try to write more on the blog, not just post photos. I was not going to do a 365 in 2012 project, but I decided I want to try (it’s a habit now anyway, may as well continue!) but I’ve let the photos take the place of words, and I need to do more writing here.

4. Go to the gym more. Lose weight. Etc, etc, etc. I would like to do another half-marathon, and actually train this time.

5. Keep working at photography. Save up for a new {camera} body.
