A very Webby New Year

It's that time of year where I seem to want to reset everything, shed a few kilos, eat only organic food, stop boozing/swearing/snacking/apologising... you know, New Years resolution time.

For the last two years, I have had the same two resolutions:

1. Finish our renovations
2. Use coasters

We have now finished the renos. Coasters. Well. Coasters are for houses where toddlers don't dwell. Imagine asking a two year old to use a coaster. Ha! Alfie barely wears pants in the house, let alone popping his sippy cup on a vintage teak pinapple drink mat!

I read a rad resolution list on the train home this week following a boozy beer and dumpling session with my buddies. You can read it here on Extraordinary Routines. In my boozy state, I was totally inspired to make my own list of realistic resolutions.

This is them:

• Read more (books, not phones).
• Get a radio alarm clock so I don't check my phone first thing in the morning, instead listen to Smooth FM.
• Go to the beach.
• Roadtrips.
• Send letters to my grandparents regularly.
• Learn to cook great vegetarian dishes.
• Read magazines or books on the train, not my phone.
• Take a lunch break. Every day.
• Stop using plastic bags.
• Use night cream.
• Write about heaps of good stuff.
• Keep my car clean.
• Pat my Cheef Dog.
• Eat at the table with my family every night.
• Kiss my husband on his forehead before we go to sleep every night.
• Be happy. Don't worry.

and finally...

It's been 17 years since I've been on a skateboard. If I can teach my kid to ride a bike, surely I can teach myself to skate a board?

Happy New Year good people. May 2016 be rad and a super happy year for you.

Ahhh The Beach
