New Year To do List

Hello and Happy New Year!
Here is our 'To Do' list for the year.
Lost of people make new year resolutions, but for me they are short lived and dont last as long as i'd hope. So this year we are making a to do list. So for most of them we can cross them off the list as we go!

-Keep this blog updated with the Fouches adventures
We have lots of family overseas so this will be a place for them to come and see what we are up to

-Lose weight
It's on everyones list at new year. I (charlotte) have lost about 19kgs since having Zac, so I still have another 20kgs to go to get me to a more healthy weight. Werner can also benefit from losing a few kgs as he's looking a bit round in the belly!

-Go to South Africa
Our other half of the family all live in South Africa, so we cant wait to see them all again. We need to do some saving and organising, and more saving... But we are hoping to go for a visit in the September school holidays.

-Get a dining table and eat as a family
It's a bit of an odd thing to be on a to do list.. but it is something I feel is important. We have a small house and there isnt much room for a dining table so we currently just eat in front of the tv. We are going to move or get rid of the TV and set up a dining table. I want to be able to sit down as a family and eat dinner together. After a busy day at work or school I want us to re-connect every day, and dinner time is the prefect time to do that :)

-Live more within our means
We want to watch our spending. Save money where we can. Stop any impulse buys! Question if we really 'need' something or just want it. Doing this will help us save for our trip to South Africa too!

-(Charlotte) I want to continue breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can be tiring, but it's also amazingly wonderful! Only around 14 per cent of babies are still breastfed at 6 months, although WHO recommends breastfeeding untill at least 2 years of age. So that is my goal :)

-Loosen up & be more affectionate
Stress, screaming baby and not enough sleep makes us all a bit cranky! We want to work on stressing less and showing more love, especially during the stressfull times.
