First of all,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I can't believe we are already in a new year! These past couple of years have flown by!
My baby girl is no longer a baby; now she's a little terror of a toddler who LOVES story time. Other than her growing like a sunflower, not much else has really changed. I'm still trying to get my reading in during the middle of the night, causing me to get even less sleep than I would originally with a baby who never sleeps through the night.

I'm still trying to get my reading in during the middle of the night, causing me to get even less sleep than I would originally with a baby who never sleeps through the night.
Last year I set my goal to a very small (for me) 25 books and I reached it by... October, I think. I'd LOVE to set that goal to about 30 this year, and I will, but I really don't know if I'll be able to reach that. Last year I had plenty of middle of the night time to read while nursing and this year I hope to actually be getting some flipping sleep. It's probably just wishful thinking, though.
And now for the unrealistic goals and challenges!
(Because there are just too many books that I want to read!)

Disclaimer:
Some of these goals are carried on from last year's goals because I just never got around to them.
