It’s that time of year again! The time when we look back on the year that has gone by and reflect on what we could have done better, what we wanted to achieve and didn’t and what we are going to do differently in the coming year.
This year I am going to keep it simple with 3 main aims, ones that I might actually achieve and continue to do past January.
My Aims For 2014…
Teach my kids to swim!
I am determined to get them swimming this year, especially because we have a boat and spend most of our holidays on it. I think I will feel a lot more relaxed aboard if I know that they can at the very least tread water.
Earn money working from home!
Now that my youngest will get her 15hrs of free childcare I am determined to be earning at least a part-time wage from working at home both on this blog and with my editing for Mumsnet Devon.

Save for New York!
My friends and I are planning to go to New York in 2015 so I have time to save. So excited, I literally cannot wait.
So there you have it my aims for 2014, do you think they are doable?

HA HA Totally fantastic, this is exactly how I feel, thought I was the only one, BUT THIS YEAR….. yes this year I WILL keep my resolutions to be the most organised mummy in the world, after you of course, lol xxxx
lol well good luck with it 🙂
Best of luck – there’s a thing about saving an extra £1 every week which amounts to quite a bit at the end of the year.
That sounds like a good idea although we are going in two years so I have to save a minimum of £80 each month apparently!! Arrgh that’s scary :-/
Good luck on saving for New Yorkl. Heres to 2014
Thank you, It’s not going to be easy but hopefully I will manage it 🙂
They sound totally doable!
lol I hope so, fingers crossed
They sound great your be so happy when your little uns start swimming about and new york sounds amazing love the pics
I can’t wait until they can swim, I have constant nightmares about them going overboard! It’s horrible 🙁 New York should be amazing, I can’t wait 🙂
Good luck for 2014! Would love to visit New York one day!
Thank you. I still can’t believe that we are actually going, literally cannot wait 🙂 Happy New year to you
Good Luck for 2014! My dream is to visit New York one day! My Sister is going in 44 days 😀 xx
I still can’t believe that I’m actually going! Hope you sister has a fab time 🙂
Great resolutions. I have to confess I gave up on trying to teach my kids to swim (something to do with them never listening to a word I say.) But they enjoy swimming class now! My resolution is to do more craft things with them.
I tried to teach them last year but it kind of fizzled out, my task this year is to fit it in around school! That’s a nice resolution to have 🙂
Great goals Gina! X
Thank you 🙂
I like that you’ve set quite doable resolutions! I’ve yet to decide mine although I have many. Many that I won’t keep lol. Bet you can’t wait for New York – I haven’t been!! x
I think if I set doable ones then I might actually achieve them. I have to do the New York one otherwise I won’t be going 🙁
I’m a terrible swimmer – am glad to say that both of my kids can swim better than me!
I also want to teach Peanut to swim this year and want to focus more in my writing. Small steps small steps…
Lovely post and wonderful aims for the year Gina – swimming is a really good one. We should probably do that too! New York is amazing, only been once on a work trip but I loved it. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Happy New Year x
Good luck for taking the plunge with teaching your kids to swim. Keep us posted. Tips please? My 3 year old currently perches on the side refusing to go any further, despite loving kicking up a storm and splashing me and daddy. #pocolo
Good luck! I don’t really do resolutions, as I never keep them! But like you I have some aims/hopes for the year 🙂 Happy New Year x x #PoCoLo
Great aims, and all totally achievable. Very happy new year to you & your family 🙂
I love the fact that you have kept it simple and given yourself 3 tasks. Good luck with them 🙂 Thank you for linking to PoCoLo and look forward to meeting you next week!
