I guess it’s about time to write an update on the progress of my “List”. Here’s what has been crossed out in the last year:
– See a stage play/musical – I’ve watched CATS the musical live at Ductac (MOE). I expected more out of it actually but over all it was a good show.
– Wear false lashes – this is supposed to be paired with wearing a wig but I still haven’t had the “right” occasion for it. I wore false lashes when I watched JLO in Dubai.
Here’s what’s currently in progress:
– Have an “Indoor” [Herb] Garden – I’m still far from achieving “garden state” but I’m on my way there. The celery is doing good. I had to chop some of the stalks off and placed it outside since it needs a little bit of sun.
– Be a Mom (and not screw it up) – well, I’ll be a mom forever, so just follow my other blog for that.
– Achieve my ideal weight – Admittedly, I have not been doing anything about this. I have been trying but not hard enough. That is why, I am making this my top priority in 2013.
2013 Goals:
- Be Healthy.
- Be Wealthy.
- Be Grateful
Too generic? Too short?
I realized that having a long list of things to do is not working out for me. I have to focus on what’s important. These are the three main things that I failed to focus on in 2012. My health, my savings and my positive outlook.
It was a hard year for us, 2012. It drained me financially, emotionally and physically. (It wasn’t ALL BAD, but overall… it wasn’t easy.) I promised myself that it will not happen again this year. This year is going to be awesome. So I’m starting with myself.
Today, I started my detox. Unfortunately I won’t be able to follow the program to the dot because I’m still breastfeeding but nevertheless, I’m going to make sure that the “adjustments” that I made will still give me the result I want. I took my “before” shots early this morning. It’s disgusting! I don’t think I could ever share those photos…EVER. But I had to do it. So I can track my progress and be inspired to work harder.
Financially, I am trying to write down everything and start a budget sheet (AGAIN). I always fail in this because I always end up not following my budget. So that has to change. Follow a budget and save.
On a separate (and still related) note, this challenge will also help me with my financial goals and remind me of the things I should be grateful about.

I personalized my Happiness Jar too. Isn’t it cute?
What’s your plan this year?
Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!
I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.
Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.
