I recently read this post & got inspired to think through where I am as a parent & where I am headed... As I reevaluated, I came up with this list of my own personal goals, both as a mom and as a wife! These goals are a mix of simple things to strive for over the next 6 months, along with some life-long goals...
1. I want to flee from my lazy tendencies & cling to my wife & motherly duties with excellency. (laundry, cleaning, cooking, changing diapers & spending quality time)
2. I want to maintain a safe, calm & joyful environment for both my husband and children, always seeking after the positives!
3. I want to kiss my husband when he comes home from work (especially in front of my kids) & teach my kids to say "I love you" more often than not!
4. I want to keep & teach a Biblical perspective on life & love! Remembering it's not about me...
5. I want to be an example of a Christ-follower & not just a "Christian"!
6. I want to enjoy more simple things in life & teach my kids to appreciate the same; such as hugs, music, books, going on walks, spending time as a family, fresh air, etc.
7. I want to play with my kids and interact with each other instead of spending all our time on the computer or phone!
8. I want to always have open communication as a family and value others opinions and what they have to say!
9. I want to maintain a simple routine & structured home environment for my kids, so they know what to expect & can have security in that! But, I want to be flexible & open-minded in unexpected situations while remembering what's best for my family!
10. I want my family to always be seeking new adventures and exploring new things together!
