Da Hughes Ohana: Goals -2011

I'm already starting to think about my goals and resolutions for next year. I never write these things down, but since I already have the thoughts in my head i figured I might as well blog about it.

-Get healthier and eat better. (The standard new year resolution.)

-But at the same time, try not to obsess when I do eat bad.

-Blog better; I hope to do more blog memes and photo challenges. But I already feel like I spend too much time on this blog. I mainly do 2 photo challenges a week (pastorsgirlsponderings and click it up a notch, and once in a while I heart faces). But that already takes a lot of time. I decided not to do a 365 again, instead concentrating more on family blogging, and blogging pictures every week.
-Put myself in more pictures with the kids. Even though I won't do a project 365, I'll try to do a Monday Me.
-Blog more recipes, especially the Filipino ones. I want them to be passed down to my kids.

-Read more. I used to read a LOT. Now I can't even remember the last time I really immersed myself into a book. I haven't even bought a magazine since we moved back to Hawaii.

-Become more patient with the kids.

-Save enough money for more photography gear.

-Go on a trip somewhere, hopefully Europe! (although this might hinder saving money for the camera stuff :P)

-Go to church regularly.

-Wear dresses more often. I practically lived in shorts and t-shirts this past year.

-Learn more about photoshop and photography.

-Smile more.

-Hit all the restaurants on my must eat list.

-Try new recipes. I have 7 pages of recipes bookmarked! I really need to go through them and start trying them out.

-Hug and kiss my family more. I think we are a pretty loving family already (although I'm not a fan of pda's), but I want to give more hugs and kisses and love.
