MM: Let's Make It Better This Year!

"Happy First Anniversary for Mommy Moments!"

It's another late post from me! This week Mommy Moments theme is about our New Year's List. To be honest, I don't do resolutions and almost skip this theme because didn't have time to make one last night.

Anyway, instead of making a list, I usually evaluate what we have done in the past and see if we can continue or make better plan on this new year. So I highlighted few events from last year and added our plan for this year at the end of each entry. If you click on the image it will bring you to the original post.

January ~ Evan's first day of school. It was already in the middle of the school year when we registered him to Pre-K last year because he was still under 3 yo when the school year started on July 2008. Schooling will always be our top priority for our kids. We'll pay more attention to his study and will make sure that he participates in all school events. He missed few trips last year due to various reasons.

March ~ Trip to a tea plantation. March is always a busy month at the office. However, we still managed to make a quick trip to a tea plantation. This year we'll always keep in mind that even though we're busy with work we'll try to spend our time with family as much as possible.

April ~ Easter. Last year Evan's school went to an orphanage to celebrate Easter, it was his first Easter celebration. Shame on us! How could we failed to introduce Easter to him before that. This year we'll talk more about this one important day in Christian life to him.

June ~ School break. Last year we took Evan to Taman Safari (Safari Park) Indonesia during school break. We didn't do much trip last year due to being pregnant and not so in the mood for trips. This year we'll do better, more trips on school break.

July ~ New school year started. He'll be on K-2 class this July and soon we need to find a primary school for him. We need to review our education insurance plan for him to see if it's still relevant with current cost. Education costs more every year.

September ~ Evan's birthday. Last year we had his birthday party at school since I was already 8.5 months preggy and didn't have time and energy to hold a party at home. The party turned out great and less tiring! This year we plan to continue celebrating his 5th birthday with his classmates and a simple thanksgiving at home.

October ~ Eldrick was born. We thank God for trusting us another boy, it is a big responsibility for us. We already have many plans in mind that need to be executed soon. Not only about his first birthday party, which is a milestone for him, but also about raising him day by day, insurance plans for his health and education, etc.

December ~ Christmas and New Year holiday. Last year Evan was busy with school and Sunday school activity during Christmas. I think this year is gonna be the same. We did made a trip during New Year holidays but I haven't had a chance to post it here. Let's just see what we can do for end year holiday this year :)

Thanks for reading such a long post everyone, and don't forget to check out other mom's new years list here! Happy weekend!
