New Month's Resolutions: February
Greetings! Even though I didn't do so well with my January resolutions, I am actually looking forward to trying to keep my goals for February. So, how did I do with my goals last month?
Looking more put together... Well, I left the house looking put together 50% of the time, which is a huge improvement from last year. I have definitely made a good effort with my outfits, but hair and make-up have suffered, especially the last week or so.
Being on top of school work... Who was I kidding? That one really was an unrealistic goal because I started out the month already behind. Once I caught up with one area, I was behind in another. Oh well.
Singing more with Hunter... This is the one resolution I kept the whole month and have made a habit. Singing songs from the Sound of Music is now part of Hunter's bedtime routine. We look through the SoM pop-up book and stop at particular pages to sing "My Favorite Things," "Maria," and "So Long, Farewell."
My goals for February are kind of boring, maybe even a bit weird, but important to me nevertheless.
1. Move!
At least twice a week. I stole this one from Elisa, but at the end of last month I checked out a hip-hop cardio class at a local dance studio and had so much fun. The class is every Saturday, so I for sure want to go the next four Saturdays in February and beyond! The other thing I could do very easily is go for a walk with Hunter after school.

2. Read one school book start to finish.
Last September, I bought a stack of books for my Montessori training and have only cracked open 4 out of the 10 or so books. Of those 4, only one I have actually finished. Part of my goal will be to finish the other three, and the other part will be to start and finish a new one. I might be able to accomplish this since lectures are over now, and I have teaching practice for the last two weeks of the month. I need to read these books to help me prepare for my exams in May.

3. Keep my nails neat and tidy.
I used to paint my own nails or get a manicure nearly every week. That was YEARS ago. I was obsessed with OPI and Essie. Then I just got lazy, and my nail-biting habit came back. I hate that I have this bad habit, and I am determined to kick it. Maybe this will be the month! I invested in the Acquarella non-toxic nail polish system, so I need to make use of the products I bought.

Wish me luck!
