New Years Resolutions or Goals

Last year I didn't know what to do for the last day of 2011 but this year I have figured out what I am doing for the last day of 2012 and to ring in the New Year 2013!  Last year I decided not to set resolutions but to set goals.  You can read all about those here!  So this year, I am going to tell you how many of those goals I actually met and the new ones I am planning on setting!  I kept my goals very simple last year so it would be easier for me to accomplish them and not feel like I was failing.  Let's just say, I am pretty proud of myself!  Could I have done better?  Sure!  And I am going to try to do better with the New Year!
These were my goals for 2012, last year: 
Get more organized is my main one ~ or at least that is what I keep telling myself. (CHECK - I did this one to an extent!  My kitchen is organized, so are my bathrooms, I have decreased clutter which helps things stay organized!)
Keep the house cleaner! (CHECK - I have a list of things I do each day to keep the house up.  It works for us!)
Decorate the living room (or buy a new house - haha)! (CHECK - We BOUGHT a new house!)
Re-decorate the boys room! (Started this one and I need to finish it!)
Get new furniture! (Not yet!)
BUY LESS STUFF and that includes CLOTHES for the littles! (I did a little of this!)
Stay in touch with family who lives out of town more often! (Eh?  Not so much!)
I'm ready to set my goals for 2013 and again I am setting them small so I can accomplish them, which is important to me!  
1.  Stay Organized 
2.  Keep up with my house cleaning system
3.  Decorate the living room and other areas, SLOWLY! 
4.  New Living Room Furniture
5.  Buy Less of EVERYTHING, but especially clothes! 
6.  Pay off Debt!
7.  SAVE!
8.  One DATE Night a month with my husband and without the kids!
9.  Eat Better! 
10. Spend more one on one time with my boys!

I had 7 goals last year!  I am going for 10 this year.  I hope that's not too many, but I am going to try it.  I can't wait to look back again on the last day of 2013 and see just how far I have actually come!  What are your goals this year?
