Little Resolutions
Tuesday, January 10, 2012 
I mentioned it briefly, but this year I decided to create small, monthly goals for myself instead of huge resolutions for the year. Inspired by Erin's post, I thought it'd be nice to create a board to help me visualize these goals. I plan to print it out and put it on my fridge as a daily reminder. What are some of your goals for 2012?
JAN Juice and exercise each day / FEB Read 4 books / MAR Make a beautiful bouquet / APR Do something crazy I've never done (before my 25th birthday) / MAY Make something with my hands / JUN Go to the zoo with friends / JUL Spend more time outdoors / AUG Plan weekly dates with the hubs for the month / SEP Do something kind for a stranger / OCT Carve a pumpkin and go to a haunted house / NOV Say something I'm grateful for aloud each day / DEC Make bread from scratch

I love this post almost as much as I love you. What a great way to keep yourself accountable and see the beauty in creating these goals in the first place.
that's a really good idea! I may have to do the same thing. Resolutions usually set me up for failure (so I didn't make any this year) but breaking it down monthly seems very manageable!
Elise I love your visualization board and goals. I hope your 2012 is full of success! xx
i love this, girl! brilliant.
i love this elise!
what a rad idea! love the goals you picked.
These are great! :)
I need to plan some out, but currently my main goal is to relocate. Here's hopin' for soon! Good luck with those lovely goals!
Lovely resolutions, Elise, and all worth repeating the following year as well! I think I may just try a similar system this year. It actually seems achievable unlike so many resolutions from years past.
Hey thanks for the link! I love your blog, it is so beautiful. I think monthly goals is a good way to break it up. Perhaps I will make another board? Yes.
I really like this idea Elise! Good luck with all your goals! :) One of mine is definitely get back on track with my blogging and try to make a name for myself & my graphic design - we'll see how that goes.... :)
this is an awesome idea! and making your resolutions into an inspiration board is an even better idea!
I love this! It's such a wonderful idea, maybe I'll do the same...
this is the best idea! thanks for sharing, elise!
stanley has a great bread recipe (Jonathan too, since stan shared with him) he makes bread all the time, and with the kitchen aid it is easy peasy. we can share it with you
Great idea!
These resolutions are the sweetest! You're in for a good year, I can tell. fave goal: go to the zoo
Whoa, your resolution list is pretty amazing. Hope you're able to do it every month!
So in love with this, Elise. What a great idea! I think I want to take up some of your goals with ya! ;)
