List | Little Resolves

mini

I've been apprehensive about making any overambitious goals or resolutions for this year because I feel like I have no idea what to expect from this year, but broad ambitions always seem to suit me best, so these are a few things I feel as though will be unchanging throughout the year.

+ In line with wanting to learn new skills, I'd love to put together a tool box for myself and challenge myself to make some fun bits and pieces for around our house. I think I need to redefine 'spending my time wisely' as enjoying whatever I'm doing and not feeling guilty about other things I'm not doing - down time and productive time being as important as each other. The idea of motherhood is something I've been wondering about how I'll adapt to, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. I am a bit introverted and antisocial by nature so I think that pushing myself to meet new people would really benefit me. Any overarching ambitions you're bringing with you into the new year?

+ In squid news, somebody is quite enjoying stretching their limbs out in my belly, especially when I'm about to go to sleep. I don't think I'll ever get used to that feeling!
