Another year has gone by and I am unsure if I even did anything from last years goals, I know I went out more with my camera, I have for sure baked more and despite some rude comments (thanks for the views lovely) I have shared some recipes and I have definatly written more.
This years goals aren’t too different, I want to keep them achievable as giving myself a goal that I cannot achieve would be a pretty silly thing, last year it was all about improving myself mentally, this time its going to be a bit of both including some that have been ongoing since 2025.

2026 Goals
- Continue to use my camera – I have slacked a little at the end of the year, I completely blame the fact that I got flu and the stress and anxiety of christmas for my lack of taking my camera out with me, I want to experiement more with my camera as well and maybe get myself a new lens.
- Save money – I am tired of struggling some months, obviously as a single parent, single income household it can be difficult to save but I want to save as much as I can over the months so when christmas comes around again I am not in a complete state of panic
- Reach my weight goal – since august this year ive been on a weightloss journey through calorie counting, so far ive lost 30lbs, I have two goals to get too and im painfully close to the first one but with the help of the gym ill hopefully get there sooner.
- batch cook – another thing for saving money is batch cooking, having meals in my freezer that i can take out when I need them, I have a costco card which has helped with cooking and meal prep, im just going to be taking it to the next level
- Ignore the bullies – same as last year, theres a group of people in my town who seem to pride themselves on making or attempting to make my life hell, after some advice from the police, i have some tips to deal with them.
- organise my home – throw out things i dont need, sell things or donate and create a less cluttered life.
- be happy
I really hope that the new year brings more exciting experiences and fun, I am counting down to the summer again as were off to our favorute place once more and this year I am turning 40.. not looking forward to that!
what are your plans for this new year?
