2017 Mama Bucket List

By Publisher Mom Stephanie Stewart January 11, 2017
As a parent, we set goals for our household, focusing on chores, budgeting, meal planning and those sorts of responsibilities (which are all wonderful to do). But we rarely take the time to sit and reflect on the year and what we want to change about ourselves. As moms, we tend to put others first and ourselves last.

2017 will be a huge year of growth and excitement for me with Macaroni Kid ~ Fredericksburg and in my own spiritual and physical life. So as I prepare for the New Year, I decided to come up with a Take Care of Mama Bear Bucket list for myself. I encourage you all to do the same, and feel free to post in the comments, email me or post on our social media outlets to encourage and uplift other Mamas. We need to help stretch each other, in a loving and inspiring way. 

In 2017, I pledge:
  • Less Screen Time, More Exploring 
  • Less Arguing, More Problem Solving 
  • Less Junk Food, More Fruits and Vegetables 
  • Less Stress, More Love 
  • Less Gossip, More Dreaming 
  • Less Criticism, More Self Love 
  • Less Sugar, More Water 
  • Less Hate, More Acceptance 
  • Less Selfishness, More Gratefulness 
  • Less On The Fly, More Intentionality
  • Less Isolation, More Mommy Dates
  • Less Judgement, More Helping Others
  • Less Anxiety, More Joy
  • Less Talk, More Action 
  • Less Over Thinking, More Dreaming 
  • Less Clutter, More Organization
  • Less Sitting, More Moving
  • Less Carbs, More Protein
