“I will no longer respond to anyone who talks to me while I’m on the toilet,” and 25 other New Year Resolutions

Just a few of my wishes, dreams and aspirations for 2012:
  1. Spend less than $1825 on takeaway coffee
  2. Say ‘awesome’ more often
  3. Listen to this 2011 hits mashup every day because it’s AWESOME!
  4. Lobby for egg nog and hot cross buns to be stocked in stores all year round
  5. Watch more cute and cuddly kitten videos like this
  6. Lose weight by inventing an anti-gravity machine
  7. Visit this ‘Exercise Confessional’ whenever I don’t get active
  8. Eat more jalapenos, because they are awesome
  9. Convince people to sign up to my newsletter by promising at home massages by someone called Sven
  10. Freak out the kids by regularly making and using food-based face masks like these
  11. Put more faith in the GPS lady
  12. Wear my hair in pigtails once a month
  13. Only shop in stores with ‘skinny mirrors’
  14. Wear Red Lipstick more often
  15. Admit that I love extra-cheesy pop music, and that ‘MMM Bop’ by Hansen is a genius song
  16. Stop being surprised when the kids go nuts at the grocery store
  17. Lobby for the first Saturday of every month to be ‘Anti-toe cleavage day
  18. Devise a plan to meet Madonna
  19. Train the kids to give great foot massages
  20. I’ll stop accidentally getting fake tanner on the kids
  21. When I’m in a bad mood, I’ll ask someone to tickle me to cheer me up, just like my 3 year old does
  22. I will no longer respond to anyone who talks to me while I’m on the toilet
  23. I will no longer respond to anyone who talks to me while I’m in the shower
  24. I will try to find a more awesome word to use to describe awesomeness
  25. I will find something awesome about everyday
  26. I will drink champagne at least once a week, to celebrate awesomeness

      Thanks Chloe. By the sounds of things Sven might be busy, but I’m working on him!

    I’m going to steal the one about not responding to anyone who talks to me while I’m on the toilet. And I’d like a visit from Sven also …

      Steal away. And I’ll let Sven know you’re keen..;)

    Adding to  “I will no longer respond to…” – my children when I am on the PHONE!

      Oh man, I remember a friend doing that before I had kids and I thought “who in the world DOES that?” Now I know. I’m adding it to my list too. Great one Fleur x

  • Bernadette Clegg

    These are fabulous! #25 is gonna be mine! Oh and…tell me, when I can expect Sven to pop on over?! bx

  • Anne Buckland4

    I WILL respond to Sven when he talks to me in the shower….

      Gorgeous Anne thanks for your support in 2011! Am planning to ramp things up this year (fingers crossed) so hopefully more of the same and better! 
      I’ll let you know when Sven is on board… ;)

    1. I will attempt broaden my colour horizon by discovering if there IS actually another colour other than black.

    2. I will clean my car out regularly (I mean twice a year… instead of once), and vegemite sandwiches and french fries from between, under and on the seats may still be at least recognisable.

    3. I will only feed my five year old macaroni cheese for dinner once a week, not four.

    4. I will bake a cake for the school cake stall, instead of pretending a store-bought cake is my own fantastic creation.

    5. I will use the gourmet preserves received for christmas, not throw them out in 2 years because they were “too good” and subsequently turned sour.

    6. I will no longer be late for school drop-off because I have been on the net, catching up on facebook, Fox in Flats, celebrityFIX and bluefly.com.

    7. I will watch more Disney movies with my daughter and less Keeping up with the Kardashians with a bottle of wine.  

    8. I will do my fruit and vege shopping at the local farmers market on Sunday, instead of at Coles in a panic. And I will take my time to smell the produce, savour the surrounds and stroll lazily through the market. With a hot coffee. And a cupcake.

Welcome!

Andrea Zanetich Editor of Fox in Flats
Hi I'm Andrea, and Fox In Flats is my baby.

I'm also the mother of two little boys, who I credit for the motherhood induced fashion rut that I fell into sometime between the labour ward and now…

Here, we're sharing tips, ideas and inspiration to make it much, much easier to navigate motherhood in style.

Enjoy!
