the year ahead 2013

Its been way to long...

The beginings of an idea...

I can not believe how long it has been since I last blogged its not that I haven't been creating or taking photos I just wasn't getting to the final stage of posting them. So over the next week I hope to get up to date with my posts. The reason for the big gape between posts has been health stuff first hubby had surgery (last stage of his braces) then missy got a virus, then I got a virus and it was very hard to get back up from, turned out my thyroid function was super low. So I focused on getting better and getting through the silly season. But all the sickness made me realise how important our health is and I've been trying to think of a more important assets in my life but I can't so top of my ever growing to do this this year is take good care of myself because frankly the only way I am going to get through half of what I want is to have a whole lot more energy.

This years to do list...

• Take good care of my health and the health of my family less processed crap and more whole food. More moving, less sitting. More time enjoying each others company less time enduring each other.
• Blog more! I'd love to say I will blog every week and perhaps I will I have told my self four posts a month and if your a super good a maths you will quickly realise that's about one a week. I want to work out how to get a better lay out on the blog also as well as trying to get some followers and see if I can get adsence working.
• I want to set up an etsy store and try to sell some of my wares that way and I want to be really brave and go to a market and try and sell things.
• I also want to make the most of my time, I want to have more fun, laugh more find the fun and excitement in the every day.
• Also I want to be less critical of other especially mothers women truly seem to be each others worse critics and its a shame we should ban together more I think in the end we are more alike than we are different.
