2012 goals

So I thought it was about time I put in writing my 2012 goals
This is what I have come up with so far:

• Make more whole foods from scratch (particualry snacks and lunches).
• Have a fun routine for baby boy (inspired by this one).
• Gardening and everything that includes in my out of control backyard.
• Walk more, and get out in nature as a family at least once a month.
• Take a learn to sew class (I do sew, but would like to be better at it and use the correct techniques).
• Send more letters and postcards to family and friends accross the world.
• Family History...
• Practice random acts of kindness.
• Be Happy!

Down-to-earth

I recentley read an article on the benefits of 'earthing' or fancy word for walking barefoot in the grass, that talked about all the benefits both mental and physical that 30 mins walking on grass in barefeet can make.  I have been testing it out this week...and am nearly converted.  I have been working in the office a lot lately and on Friday afternoon after work I felt like I was craving a walk on the grass.  'Scientifically' it is supposed to have something to do with grounding the excess electricity in your body, but it just really feels good.  Apparently its also a great cure for jetlag?  So, I am going to keep doing it...whilst carefully avoiding the prickles and ants nests :)
