New year's resolution

This year I have a couple goals that I want to accomplish. Here they are:

Learn how to cook. Yes, I know how to cook, but not very well. ( I know how to cook scrambled eggs and pancakes, but that's about all.)I rarely cook so I don't get my chance to learn very often. My mom has already told us that we have to cook ten meals for the whole year. So we know more about cooking. My hope is to, at the least, cook two meals each month. I don't particularly have a desire to cook but, I need to learn if I want to be a mother and wife. :) I am sure I'll like it more when I know how to. :)


Learn to Crochet. I don't know how to crochet but I really want to learn. I've tried to, by reading books but not much has come from it. Miss Rachel has given me some helpful links and book ideas.

I also want to get better at knitting. The only way is to knit. So, I've been working on a blanket. It's nothing fancy. Just a blanket. I do not know when it will be finished it will probably take quite a while. :)


Learn to speed read. I am a very slow reader. I really need to take the time to read but it always takes me so long that I get frustrated. Hopefully I'll be able to read a lot faster soon.


Increase my knowledge and skill in Piano and Violin.The only way I can do this is practice, practice, practice!!! :-)


Increase my skill in writing. I have been working on a story. It is 16 pages long and I am only half way done. I am making it for my sister Abby for Christmas. I gave her the first half on Christmas and I hope to finish it soon. We have a great writing program which we use in our school work so this will also help me. :)


Read the scriptures more often. I love reading the bible but I need to do it more often, by myself and with my family.


Less time blogging. I spend too much time blogging and looking at others blogs. This will be hard but I must stop spending so much time on the computer.


That's about it for now!

I am also thinking of changing the template of my blog. Something elegant, simple and something that matches with a lot.

Have any ideas on where I could get a free one or have someone make me one?
Thanks! :-)



Do you have any resolutions?


Blessings throughout your day and year!
