It's that time of year again, time to make resolutions that by mid- February are long forgotten. However, I'm going to try to change the status quo by keeping mine all year! I want to get healthy, simplify and let go of the clutter!
Resolution #1 - Wear the Clothes in My Closet or Else...
The majority of you reading this probably have too many clothes in your closet. Or maybe you wear the same things over and over again overlooking all the other lovely things that are begging to be worn. Or maybe like me, you love to shop, can't pass up a deal and then feel like you never have anything to wear! So this year I am going to work on wearing what's in my closet and what's not worn or what doesn't fit, is getting donated.
So how am I going to keep track of what I've worn, you ask? I have turned all the hangers in my closet so the hook faces me. After I have worn an item or it comes out of the laundry, I will hang it up normally. At the end of the year, what I haven't worn I am getting rid of. I have even placed a small shopping bag in the bottom of my closet to place items in through the course of the year that I don't like or don't fit. Now, I didn't invent this trick, but it's the first time I have tried it. I am very anxious to see the outcome at the end of the year! Now I need to figure out how to track my folded items such as sweaters, sweatshirts and jeans.
Resolution #2 - Take Better Care of Myself
This one is a little broad, but its much needed. I have to start putting myself first and not skip working out because the house needs cleaned. So I am going to give it a whirl and try to take better care of myself. Some of the small victories I'm looking for are wearing my retainers consistently so hopefully they will fit again! Other small things include wearing lotion on my hands nightly and take a multivitamin daily. Oh course eating better and working out are on the list, but I want to strive toward lifestyle changes.

Resolution #3 - Use What You Have and Get Rid of What You Don't Need
We have A LOT more room in our new house than we did in our previous one, however just because we have more room doesn't mean we want to accumulate more "stuff". I want to simplify what we have, no more hanging on to this for "just in case". I've got a basement full of boxes that need sorted through. Although some are decorations, I'm guessing some of the things we've forgotten about and at this point, do we really need it? When it's all said and done, the "stuff doesn't matter".
Blogging more consistently is also on the list, but so far, I haven't been doing a very good job of that one!
