A week into the new year and we’re still struggling to get our kids back on track with their diet, schedule and schooling. We had a rocky start this year and I had pretty much forgotten that I could look ahead. But then I did. I started counting all the things I could look forward to in 2012. It blessed my heart and excited me quite a bit, just anticipating changes and life events this year.
Here are 12 things I’m looking forward to in the year 2012:
- My husband and I will be celebrating 5 years of married life in April.
- Our kids join kindergarten at a regular school in June.
- I turn 30 in October. EEKS!
- Our kids turn 5 in December.
- A 3-part blog series on our kids starting January 30th.
- Developing a habit a month – look for a blog post every month, starting January 11th.
- More baking – I started baking only late last year & I’m definitely looking to get better at it.
- My new planner – I love how I’m able to organize my life with just a pen and a book.
- A new Bible study starting January 15th. Visit Good Morning Girls for more information.
- A better morning routine – ideally including some time alone with God, exercise and planning for the day. Visit Inspired to Action for more details and a free ebook.
- Better financial sense. We’re looking to be spend less and save more. Check out Money Saving Mom – she gives great practical financial advice.
- More reading – I’ve gathered dozens of free PDF ebooks and hundreds more on my PC Kindle app. This year, I’m hoping to reignite my favorite hobby and dive into my reading list.
I would love to know what you are looking forward to in 2012. Would you care to share with us in the comments?

Sheena,
Good stuff, Honestly, i think you should take one at a time 🙂 And Making resolutions always fails in most cases, not to discourage you, like i said, take one at a time 🙂 Save money? i have an idea, Get back to work 🙂 A Class topper, and a person of your caliber shouldn’t sit idle 🙂
Cheers,
Carthik
Hey Carthik! Thanks for stopping by… You are absolutely right about resolutions fizzling out! That’s why this year I’m working on only 1 habit a month 🙂 The rest are a part of my lifestyle that I’ve been working on since last year – just trying to get better at it this year! And as to getting a job… I could probably consider it if I was indeed sitting idle ;). Thanks for the compliments though.. and have a great day!
@Sheena I am really inspired by your post. I am stuck at home with a sprained ankle. But I think I might as well make the most of it by giving my NYR a though.
@Carthik Idle? Sheena? Really?!? Oh come on… I think she is doing a great “job” with her triplers
Thank you Sony! Sorry to hear about the ankle.. Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery! God bless.
Oh great list. Let’s see I am looking forward to change. God is making some changes in our life. Can’t wait! Moving in June to new place. Don’t know where yet! Reading the Bible everyday.(my challenge) and getting to sew more. Quilts that is!
Thanks for sharing your list.
Blessings,
Sherry
Wishing you God’s best for the changes in your life, Sherry. And you sew quilts?! WOW!
These all sound like wonderful blessings. I’m in a Good Morning Girls group online for the first time this winter, and I’m excited about it starting, too. 🙂
Isn’t GMG the best?! The discipline of daily Bible study has done wonders in my life. God bless you, Amy!
