New Year's Resolutions

I know, I know, I've been away forever! But all that's about to change. I decided to share my New Year's resolutions with my readers so that I have people to keep me accountable to my new goals.

First, like so many other people, is to live a healthier lifestyle. That includes exercising regularly, eating better and taking better care of myself in general (taking my vitamins, getting enough sleep, etc.).

Second, another popular resolution, is to be better with money. My husband (that's right, I got married since my last post!) and I have created a budget to follow starting in the new year along with a plan to save money. We are also committing to completing the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University courses in our quest for financial freedom!

Third is to start preparing freezer meals. For any of you who may not know what that is, it's cooking meals ahead of time (generally in one day) and freezing them so that you can just pull them out of the freezer and heat up when you're ready to enjoy them. I enjoy cooking and I want to do it more. Since I generally never feel like cooking after a long day at work, I thought freezer meals would be the best route to go: I cook on the weekend and I still get to enjoy homecooked meals during the week.

Thank you to all of you who've stuck it out with me this year. I will do better for you in 2014! Happy New Year!
