a new year!!

hello 2013!

another year has passed right before my eyes.  

i don't know why this makes me a little weepy inside.  did i live this past year to the fullest? probably not, but there is a whole new year before me to live a little more intentionally, so no regrets.

 since it is a new year, i am going to try a couple of new things this year to hopefully help me stretch and grow as a person.  

(i don't really like the word resolution...it just feels like something i am setting myself up to fail at ) 

almost all of my ideas revolve around our family.

i have a little list going on new things i want to implement in our family.  

i'm sure i will touch on those in another post.

then there are a couple of personal...goals i have in mind.

first off, this blog.

i kind of slowed down on blogging last year when summer started because i really wanted to enjoy my time with the kids before they were both in school.  well, summer ended and i thought i was going to have a lot of extra time on my hands with both of them being in school, but it turns out, i kind of feel like i have less time.  i am in each of their classes one morning a week, which i love, and all my other time somehow disappears.  

blogging is a creative outlet for me as well as a place to kind of document and record a little part of our lives.  we take a whole lot of pictures, so this is a perfect place to combine some pictures and thread some words together.

so hopefully i can finally get back into the swing of things.

so here's to a new year!!
