New Year's Resolutions 2008 (as of February 1)

I can't believe January is over already! I thought that since it's the first day of a new month, it would be a good day to check up on my New Year's Resolutions to see how I am doing:

1. Read one chapter of the Bible to Drew and Gracie each day. We have read the book of Matthew and have started reading the book of Mark. We missed reading two days, but doubled up for a couple of days to catch up. Gracie has been enjoying listening to the stories about Jesus.
2. Get organized. Simplify and de-clutter. Establish some household routines. Teach Drew and Gracie to help out with some simple household chores each day. I can't believe I listed all this stuff as one goal! I have sorted out many books and some baby items that we no longer use. (I still have a lot of clutter left!) I am working on my daily routines. Drew and Gracie help me make my bed, fold laundry, dry dishes, and put away their toys most days.
   
3. Add a few more formal preschool-type activities for Gracie to our daily routine. Gracie and I practiced her letters and letter sounds for a while but stopped at her request. She has plenty of time to learn and I decided not to rush her.
   
4. Read a book each week. Eleven books on my reading list so far.
   
5. Find something that I can do from home to earn some money. I need to start looking!
   
6. Reduce my sugar intake and eat more healthy foods. I just ate a spoonful of hot fudge sauce while I wrote this post (at least I didn't eat the ice cream, too!) ...
   
7. Blog more often!
