New Year's Resolutions

[berrymama]

I usually don't do traditional resolutions, but I definately have areas I would like to work on. I like to think of everything as a work in progress all year round, but...

Do you have any 'resolutions' that are Waldorf-related?

I would like to work on planning healthy dinners following a weekly plan that I laid out. We were doing pretty well for a while, but then we slipped into old patterns again and resort to take-out more often than I'd like.

I would also like to implement meal-time blessings. DH might roll his eyes at this one...the main reason I have been putting it off.

I'm resolving to do more baking and other cooking. We've been eating way too much convenience food. I got a convection toaster oven for xmas, so I'm hoping this will help with the baking part, as I never use our oven now because it heats the whole house! lol
Oh, and a crock pot- so that should help, too!

Other than that, my goals are to do better about keeping up with the laundry, and lose some ( a lot! lol) of weight. I'm going to go for a walk at least once a day with the baby, and we're planning to do a family walk in the evening, before supper.

Berrymama I too wanted to start mealtime blessings for a while, but was a little worried about DH. I started it as "Ds would like to say a blessing. Go ahead.." and then "that was lovely!" The best part was, when Ds was done, he looked right at dh and said "ok, your turn!" Priceless!! We've been doing it since (about 2 or 3 months.)

I'd really like to work on our daily rhythm. I have a *really* hard time with that one. I'd love to do a certain day for baking, another for a big art project, etc. We have certain routines that work really well for us, but not a guiding one for throughout the day/week.

Mine is just to be more peaceful, stay in the moment more and make each moment so important that I don't want to mess it up with chaos, arguing etc.

Let things go more and just let dh think he's right haha

So far we are doing pretty good.

I actually have a bedtime "blessing" i guess it's more of a prayer or a mantra but i sing dd to sleep with it and it's bring us peace onto our home, keep our family safe and warm. I am not religious at all so it's not to god necessarily, it might be to an angle or fairy or the universe or I dunno some higher power I guess, or maybe just to myself.
