The Beginning

This blog is related to my New Year's Resolution. I usually don't make resolutions because I'm horrible at keeping them, but I'm going to try this year.

I'm a firm believer in the thought that you can't take care of others until you take care of yourself. Koryn is now two months old, which is crazy, and I've noticed that I don't take care of myself the same way I did before she came. It's not that I don't care about myself, but I put her needs first and as a result I don't spend much time on myself. So my goal this next year, is to do one thing for myself everyday. It doesn't have to be anything big, but it does have to be something that I want to do and something that makes me happy. My hope is that through this journey I'll be able to become a better mother by making myself happy. I would like to do something different everyday, but I don't know if I can come up with 365 different things to do. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments!

Day 1 - To start of the year I decided to take a little extra time getting ready and enjoy my warm shower while my husband took care of the baby. I didn't worry about if she was screaming or try to hurry so I could get back to her. I just enjoyed my hot shower and followed it up with my favorite lotion.

Day 2 (today) - Today I'm taking the time to make this blog. I love being creative on the computer and I'm creating this blog as an accountability method. Even if nobody reads this I feel responsible for updating the blog everyday on what I've done for myself.

Well, that's the year so far. Here's to a great 2009!
