2012 Resolutions

It is resolution time around here. And, outside of loosing those pesky 5 lbs, I've put down some more  substantial goals for 2012.

1. Forget the glitz and glamour, and appreciate our lives as they are, unfixable squaky floors and all. (THIS post really hit home)

2. Between the stress of renos, Masters courses, work and Baby C set time aside for hubby and I to connect, have fun, show how much we appreciate each other. I would love for our children to describe our relationship THIS WAY in another 30-40 years.

3. Remember THESE 10 secrets to success in life.

4. I spent my teen years trying my best to fit in and always being heartbroken about failing. I've come a long way from that little confused girl and want to continue on the same path. I'm more sure than ever that it is the individuality in me, in you and in everyone out there that makes the world a better place. And it is this relationship with myself that I really want to continue working on, daily.

5. Make THIS(#5) or THIS announcement.

6. Take better pictures, like THESE.

7. Make a gingerbread something, like THIS one.

8. Make pretty things out of fancy fabric.

9. Finally redesign the blog, love THIS design.

10. You will notice that there are no resolutions around renos. Intentionally so. Renos are our journey, and not our destination. So while they happen and take a ton of our time and energy, life goes on. And I don't want it to pass us by while we're hammering in hardwood floors or laying tile. So I'm intentionally going to let things happen on their own. Let my control freak personality take a back seat and enjoy every minute of every day.

What are your resolutions for next year? Do you make resolutions at all?? Do you follow through?? I'd love to know :)
