As we ring in the new year it is the time to set new resolutions.  A few days ago I posted about my thoughts about 2013 and 2014. I had been focusing a lot on the family and this year  my focus still remains the same.   Last year I managed to cross out most of the items listed on the Resolution list. I am  hoping to do the same this year.

This year I am intending to do more things for myself and pursue new areas which I have yet to try out.

Resolutions for 2014

For Myself

1. Try out even more recipes from the cookbook collection which I have in the cupboard. My aim is to eat more healthy which is to cut down on all the carbs, processed food and other unhealthy foods. I didn’t manage to lose any weight in 2013 and have still aim to get down to 60kg by year end.

2.  Study/Read up more about photography and other techniques which I can implement to bring my photography skills to a higher level.

3. Brush up on my Chinese, French and Japanese.

For the blog

1. Increase readership and traffic even further. To concentrate on other social media outlets besides Facebook in my marketing efforts. With the constant changes in Facebook algorithm I have realised that it isn’t time effective to focus so much on that particular marketing channel and growth rate in the fan base there has been rather slow. My revised target would be to grow it to 12.5K from the existing 11.4K fan base.

2. To get more sponsors/campaigns and increase the blog earnings.

3. Start a new series on the blog

 

For the kids

1. Do devotional readings and exercises with twice a month.

2. Pray together before meals.

3. spend time with each kid 1-1 daily.

For  us as a couple

1. Go on kid free dates as often as possible.

2. Spend more time communicating with each other.

3. Go on a couple holiday.

What are your resolutions for 2014?

It’s the time of the year to make new resolutions and look back on the ones that I made for this year. Most of the resolutions that I have set for 2012 were kept and I’m glad that we had a very fulling year.

For Myself: ( I’ve crossed out all those that I managed to do)

1- Read more books and brush up on both Japanese and French.

2- Practice the piano.

3- Lose the 6kg and get back to 55kg

4. Take better care of my well-being.

5. Learn more bakes/dishes which can be suited to everyone’s palette.

6. Take more time out to spend with R and start going on date nights again.

7. Learn how to use my camera properly and earn enough for my first DSLR.

 

For the kids

1- Read the bible weekly/bi-weekly and carry out activities related to the bible activity book.

2- Step up on academic learning for the elder boys and do more flash cards and  hands on activities with Tiger Girl.

3- Bring the kids out to the park more often if possible and engage in more sports activities.

 

For the family

1- Go on a family vacation where everyone is able to enjoy themselves doing activities that they like.

2- Pray together and do more activities as a family.

As you can see I need to step up on the weight lost and  spiritual department for myself and the kids.

This year I plan to get these done in 2013
