Happy New Year everyone, and yes, I do realize I am a bit late! But, I wanted to choose some meaningful, helpful, and, most importantly, DO-able resolutions for 2014, so I took my time!
1. My biggest resolution this year is to work on this blog. You see, I am a terrible correspondent, even in this instantaneous digital age, and I do not send pictures, news, and fun to those far away nearly as often as I should! SO......My goal this year is to post several times a week for those of you who are far away and want to keep up with the family news. An added bonus: This will give me a chance to sit back and reflect on the week, take pictures, and appreciate the little things in life.
2. In 2014, it seems like so many moms are denouncing being "Pinterest moms" with perfectly clean, organized houses, perfect children, perfect schedules, perfect birthday cupcakes, perfect school lunches, perfect marriages, perfect finances, perfect vacations, and perfect craft and learning projects, I'm going the opposite way and embracing all that Pinterest has to offer! Haha! Actually, I've spent so much time on Pinterest and found so many great projects, tips, and ideas, that I feel the need to start DOING some of them! Now, my house is not going to be perfectly clean and organized (if you know me at all, you will understand this!), my children will not be perfect or have perfect cupcakes or school lunches, and I will not have perfect finances or a perfect marriage. However, I'm hoping my kids WILL have some perfectly lovely memories of craft projects, learning multiplication facts, and doing the Phonics Dance! And, with the help of Dave Ramsey, I'm hoping our finances will be on their way to perfection. So, look for some great Pinterest ideas here each week. I'll try them and let you know how they turned out!
I'm looking forward to a year of learning, laughing, loving, and living every minute! Here's to good health and good fortune in 2014!
