Katie's Goals for 2015

Last year, my husband and I jumped on the bandwagon of picking one word for 2014. The first word that jumped out to us was patience, and it was a perfect for the year we had. We also made a fun list of things to do throughout the year - not goals, but just activities or projects to finish. We tried out new restaurants, had some small spontaneous road trips, and finished a few things we had started around the house. It was a great year, and a fun tradition to start. :)

For 2015, we've already started thinking about what we want to accomplish. Here's what we have so far...

Less spending money on things we don't need. Less time online. Less clutter in the house. Less time watching television....basically trying to simplify our life. My game plan for January (and then I'll reevaluate and adjust) is:

Meal plan. It'll save us money on groceries and less eating out. 

Finance meetings. We are going to actually sit down together and look at where our money went, and see where we can cut costs. We already scheduled these in for Sunday nights.

Family date night. We all love to cuddle up and watch movies together, but we aren't connecting when we do that. I want to actually spend time together - like playing games or going somewhere fun together. I already have some GREAT ideas for our family dates! Super excited :)

Pray more. Along with our word, we are picking a family saint and quote for the year. Our saint this year is Saint Jude (patron saint of impossible causes) and our quote is:

I'm excited for this new year to start! I made a Pinterest board for my 2015 goals and projects - feel free to follow along!

Do you set resolutions or pick a 'word of the year'?
