New Years Resolutions

So, I tend to think negatively about New Years resolutions, because I have never been successful at whatever it is I resolve to do, and by now I don't bother to make them at all.
But this year will be different!
Why? How? I dunno, I just know that there are some cool, fun, and torturous important things to get done next year.
First off, we need to lose weight. I don't want to suffer from health issues down the road, and I want to get to hang out with my grandkids one day! Who doesn't want to love on kids that you can give back? ;)
Second, I love blogging, but can't find the time to do it consistently. I'm thinking maybe a goal of 3 posts a week. I think blogging is a cool way to document life!
Last, I need to be a better money manager. I don't blow money, but I don't save either. If I can find a good balance and a plan for my summers, then life would be grand!

FEET!!!!

Over at I heart faces, the theme is feet. I KNEW this would be my entry immediately! This was from Lorelei's 1 year pictures that my sister helped me with and she came up with the best idea ever - SPRINKLES!!!! They were a mess but she loved 'em!!!!

Autumn Splendor

Here is my I Heart Faces entry for Autumn Splendor

 

 

This was taken at a fabulous pumpkin patch in Dunnellon. This was out first time experiencing picking pumpkins in a field and boy did we have fun!

Let them be Little

Over at I Heart Faces, the theme for the week is "Let them be Little". I think I am doing a good job with this for Lorelei. I let her play, get dirty, and try not to inhibit her too much. I know how important this will be as she gets older, so I am trying to do a good job of it starting now!

I chose this photo because she was just so thrilled to get down and dirty with those sprinkles, and I said to heck with it - let her!!!!
