I Am So Excited

... for the world to end in 2012!!! For reals. I totally believe that stuff. Ya know, the whole Mayan Calendar thing. Totally legit.

So since this is our last year on earth, we better make the most of it!! What am I planning on doing? My New Year's resolutions are fairly simple.

1. Post to my blog twice a week.
2. Take my vitamins EVERY DAY!
3. As a family, we are committing to praying a rosary every evening after dinner.
4. Sew, sew, sew! 2012 is gonna be one crafty year, people!

And that's all I have so far! I'm looking forward to a holy, healthy, and crafty New Year! :)

Anybody have any exciting resolutions this year?? Let's encourage each other to be faithful to our goals!

Resolutions.

Happy 2011, people!!!
 

 

Honestly, I cannot believe that's what year it is! It sounds so... futuristic or something. Regardless, here we are. Last year officially over, and ready to take on a new one. I really love the positive boost everyone gets at the new year. We all take a sprint down the diving board and wildly spring ourselves into the new year with confidence and motivation. Of course, everyone is coming up with their new year's resolutions and hoping to stick with them for longer than a month. Or a week. Or a day.

I was trying to come up with my NYR (new year's res.) and I couldn't just pick one. There are so many things I feel I need to improve upon... I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing! So anyway, instead of saying my NYR is to .... [insert a huge list of at least ten activities].... I narrowed it down, and cleverly compiled it all into ONE resolution:

Make a schedule, and stick to it.

I've never been the most organized person, and certainly could never brag about my time management skills, so I figured having a schedule is something I could really benefit from. And on this schedule, I will include all the things I had in mind for NYRs. Things like working out regularly, assigning a certain day to do certain chores, allotting time each day for quiet prayer, posting a new blog every Monday and Thursday, etc. etc.
What are your NYRs? I love hearing unique and challenging ideas. 

As for me, before we get any further into this new year, I'm going to go make that schedule! As a final note, Gemma went out of 2010 with a BANG. On New Year's Eve, surrounded by and with the encouragement of many friends, my little baby finally rolled over back to belly!!! She had rolled over belly to back two weeks before and had been trying SO hard for those following weeks to get back to belly. It was so exciting for me to finally see her do it, because I know how hard she had been working to do figure it out. I was such a proud mama. The best part was, she only had to do it once to understand the whole thing, and then she did it over and over again after that!

I'm so looking forward to 2011, and all the many, many milestones Gemma will reach! So, cheers to a fantastic 2010, and here's to an even better 2011!
