restitutions.

Got this from Merry

5 Personal Goals for this Year.

* watch less tv that is just on, read more books instead.

* finish things.

* get fitter

* learn how and when to say no instead of yes.

* work out who I want to be and how to be her. This will start by involving more colour, I’m tired of wearing black!

5 Work Goals for this Year.

* relaunch my business and actually make it work this time. (This will require some thought and planning).

* sell books!

* get a php qualification

* figure out whether I want to work solely for myself or not.

* be happier in my work. (work to live, not live to work 😉 )

5 Home Ed Goals for this Year.

* work out the bits that I never learnt in school that I’ve needed and how and when to introduce them.

* make a plan with Big and help her follow it on a month by month basis

* learn a language (what, I can’t be home educated too?)

* do more of the things the children want when they want to

* thin out our resources!

5 Family goals for this Year.

* remember every day that I wanted to have children, and remember to let them know that they are wanted and loved.

* do something nice with all the family at least once a week (even if it’s just share a meal).

* work out how to cope with the rest of my family and do it.

* spend time with dp that isn’t virtual 😉

* make my family my focus instead of my laptop!

5 house and home goals for this Year.

* more out than in (at least until we are decluttered!)

* pick an area of the house each month and make it a habit to keep it sorted

* plan menus and shopping lists around them (start with a home cooked meal a week)

* decide whether we are moving or not and deal with it

* work out what I’m doing with the garden and do it.

Hm, have spent most of the evening trying to trim this down to a manageable list but without success. Think I’ll aim to pick a resolution a week and get it going for the first half of the year and take it from there. Nothing like having your life planned out, eh?

  1. I had to pare down my sets of 5 too, I could have produced a website, let alone a blog post of my aims! I think it’s a good place to start though, just a few things in a few areas and spread it out over the year.

  2. Just shout for garden help.
    Afraid I can’t offer much assistance for anything else though. This ‘declutter’ business… wot’s all that about then??? 😉

  3. Yes, well we can’t all just build an extra couple of rooms to hold it all 😉

  4. I don’t think any of us will ever be able to face the idea of an extension again 😉

  5. 😀 It’s not that bad… honestly
    😉

  6. Some people enjoy pain. 🙂

  7. Sounds like we’ll be TRYING to follow pretty much the same set of rules next year 😉

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
