It's a New Year..

Happy New Year!

I thought I would blog today being that we are having a snow day...mmmhmm 12 inches! This gave me time to think about this New year.

As I look ahead I think of a quote I just heard and thought I'd share....

"A goal without a plan is just a wish"

Isn't this so true?!?! Who has set a New Year's goal and never accomplished that goal. Hmmmm? Yep I am raising my hand right now. ;) So now that it is the new year, I need to share my goals for my classroom and blog...fingers crossed I make the time and accomplish a few of my goals or at least one! If not then I made a good wish and was hopeful.

This is what I have so far:

1. Blog more often & collaborate with other bloggers...overall I love blogging...I love the idea of sharing my ideas and not only inspire others but get inspirations from other bloggers.

2. Stay organized! I created a blog planner a while back. I only got as far as writing down a to do list...yikes! I guess it's a start. Right?!? I love organizing and keep my classroom and lesson plans organized, however I need to focus on my blog! It's all about balancing and setting your priorities.

3. Take time for myself. Enough said.

4. Continue to create. This is my passion. I absolutely love to create things for my classroom, home, friends, etc.

I will keep my goals to a minimum. I feel good about these goals and know that I can accomplish a few, if not all. Hey if I don't, at least I made a great wish! Have you made new goals for the year?
