-Visit a new city park every month
-Read one middle-grade novel every month (in addition to my usual fun reading)
-Develop Spanish language skills (currently using the DuoLingo app)
-Keep off my phone when driving, I have become a "check my email at a stoplight" person, such a bad habit!

-Keep updating this blog for myself, take more videos of CC as she grows, and just enjoy life
