2012 is here. I love the start of a new year. The air is always buzzing with change and the promise of great things lingers on even after the last glass of champagne is consumed.

This year I want to focus on financial and health goals. We have already made some changes that will put us in a better financial light by next year. Cutting satellite and downsizing phone plans are among the steps we have already taken. It’s amazing how much money we are already saving.

As far as health goals, we of course have the standard “lose some weight” resolution but this year I want to focus on all around health. I would like to pledge that I will not eat another cupcake but trying to start a dessert catering company and giving up sweets is a recipe for failure all around!

Mommies2cents.com has some resolutions too! In 2011, I saw amazing growth and it was all because of my wonderful readers. In 2012, the sky is the limit!

So here is the breakdown:

  • Get rid of Satellite TV
  • Downsize our cell phone bills (no more smart phone, but I have my ipad *swoon*)
  • Keep up with my coupon shopping
  • Take more baths
  • Go on more walks with Holly
  • NEVER go to bed without washing my face (Thanks for the inspiration Trisha!)
  • Schedule my time more efficiently (I love blogging but not at 3 am)
  • Make sure I see my dentist and regular physician for check-ups
  • Pour my heart and soul into this blog because almost nothing makes me happier than writing.
What are your resolutions this year? Tell me! Be sure to stop by next week because I have lots of great giveaways to help you reach all of your 2012 goals!

Happy 2012! Cheers!

    Great goals, scheduling more efficiently is one of my goals too.

    I wish I could learn to schedule my time better. And that one about never going to bed without washing your face: I have had to get up in the night to wash my face because I forgot to. Good goal to have.

    Good luck, I think it is great that you made a list!
    I am trying to talk hubby into getting rid of satellite and home phone for a $140/mo savings. Yeah, he’s not quite on board…he’s ok with the home phone cut but not the TV. Baby steps.

    Happy New Year!
