So I set some goals last year (you can read here) so lets see how I did on them =D
For blogging:
-Posting everyday. Rather its apart of a blog challenge, update, design tips, posting pics of that day or just letting you know I picked my nose today.
^^^^This didnt happen at all! I posted more than 2011, I think but I really didn’t post like I really wanted to.
-Post on how to get healthy hair. I will teach you how to make your hair healthy, how to wash your hair, what to use, how to straighten it and just how to make it where everyone wants to touch it.
^^^^I wasnt able to do this but 2013 I will and it will be AWESOME
-More reviews. This will be mainly for movies, tv shows I watch (what I thought on the current episodes), past shows that I’ve rewatched. Pretty much if I watch it on tv or Netflix I will post about what I think. I love watching movies or a good series and my blog says nothing about that.
^^^^I didn’t do this as much either, I really wanna post about the shows I watch and movies I see.
-Gain more readers and a stronger fellowship. Make this blog more me, I’m crazy, I say weird things and I love life. I want this blog to reflect me more. I’m not just a blog designer. Haha
^^^^Did this but still will be a goal in 2013
-Blog about us buying a house. the process, the search, the move and the fix up.
^^^^Did this and will continue to post about this as we fix up the house in 2013, you can read those post here
-Blog about my road to losing 50lbs. I will do it this year no matter what and I would love to see how I do throughout the year. My goal is 50lbs in 6-8months but we will see. I will be doing a weekly weight in, tips, recipes, and everything else I encounter.
^^^^Attempted but didn’t achieve this goal =(
For life:
-Buy a house. We finally have enough money saved, our credit is where it needs to be and its a buyers market. It’s time for us to buy a house. I finally want to make our house our home.
^^^^DONE =D …you can read those post here
-Lose 50lbs. I’m sick of feeling fat, yesterday I bought a new workout video, bought some workout clothes, got a body cleanse and started it today, and bought some healthy food. I want to get healthy.
^^^^HAHA Yeah this didn’t happen at all! I didn’t gain (well I don’t think) but I didn’t lose and if I did it was about 5lbs
-More family time. I want to spend more time with my family, spend it more outside of the house and find some new adventures. I want to find more things to do for free, especially since we need to save money to buy a house.
^^^^We did this but I am sure that we could have dome more of it
-Learn to coupon. I don’t want to be crazy about it and I won’t shove deal post down your throats because we all know there not enough of those around. Hehe… Maybe ill do a feature called saving to our dream house, or at least own one. Just to show our process of us saving for our house. We want to buy the house by April/May so maybe the feature will change from dream house to dream kitchen/bathroom/bedroom and so on.
^^^^Didnt do this and I don’t really think I wanted to….
-Cleaner lifestyle. I need to clean more, my house is a mess. So I will make a cleaning schedule and stuck to it.
^^^^Kinda did this, I clean more BUT I need to start cleaning more often/weekly and will be doing that in 2013
-Make cooking my passion again. 3 years ago cooking was my passion and now I really don’t want to cook anymore, maybe because my kitchen is messy all the time now. Since we will not be going out to est anymore since we need to save save I will be cooking a lot more.
^^^^Done =D In 2013 I will be posting more recipes and revisiting older ones that I have in my recipe section.
-Buy a car. Benjamin will be starting school this year and its necessary that we have another car. I want to put them in sports for social reasons, plus I think it will be really good for him (them really since I will put both in sports this year). I really want a new Scion tC BUT since we are focusing everything on buying a house I will settle for something cheaper and used until we buy our house and everything we want for it.”
^^^^We did this can purchased a 2013 Hyundai Tuscan as our main car (image below, isn’t she sexy?) BUT we now need to work on getting a second car and thinking of doing that spring/summer 2013
Now to get my 2013 goals together so I can post them =D

I think you did a great job of trying to at least address most of your goals. I’m sure 2013 will be wonderful for you and your family and you will have plenty of time to work on some of your other goals.
