Resolutions

Oh, why not... what's it going to hurt.

1. Lose weight, I think this one is a required resolution.
2. Read 50 books, at least 5 of those being never before read classics.
3. Get my new house set up and start a garden and composting.
4. Make at least one new vegetarian recipe each month.
5. After the move, find a local shop to carry some of my toys or attend at least one craft show.

I am very much looking forward to what this new year has in store. I hope you all have a wonderful new year.

Christmas and looking ahead

Another Dec survived!

Ok so I know we have a few more days but really doesn't Christmas feel like the end of December to everyone? That extra week is just a formality because as soon as you open those gifts, if you are anything like me, you start thinking about de-Christmas-izing your house and plans for New Year's Eve and of course all the big things you are going to do in the next year.

2010... This is going to be a biggie for me personally. My son will turn 14, just one year away from legal (with an adult) driving. My sweet sweet baby girl will turn TEN! And the biggest of the bigs is that we will be buying a house and moving... hopefully for the last time ever!

I want to set down roots and plant things that I will see grow. I want a place that my kids can call home, and this apartment is not going to work for that. The first week of Jan we are going to contact our realtor and lender and see where we stand and get this ball rolling along. :)

But more of that in the weeks to come...

I hope you had a great holiday no matter what you celebrate. I'm sure most of you have seen them so I'll just put a link to the pictures in case you missed them. Enjoy your last few days of 2009, make them count.

Christmas Kids 2009

Peanut Buttery Goodness

Buckeyes are a gift from the dessert gods... they are simply AMAZING!

There would be holiday mutiny if I did not make them so that's what I did today. I thought I'd give you a little pictorial. Here is the recipe I use... Buckeyes

Get your ingredients ready:

Here is your pb dough:

Roll your little balls and place them on wax paper then stab them right in the head:

You have to freeze your pb balls then melt your chocolate

Dip your frozen balls into the chocolate, chill to set then ENJOY!

And we had "rat-patootie" for dinner. My kids refuse to use the real name thanks to Disney's Ratatouille movie. lol

Holiday Greetings

Halloween

How cute were we. :D

Teagan's hair went a little flat but it started off super cute and she got new glasses.

It's grass-tastic!

A lovely valentine

to myself... I ordered these the day before yesterday and they arrived today. It's true love. This is my one cosmetic vice.

A lil post holiday msg.

Usually I am a holiday SAP but this year I was meh the whole time. I enjoyed buying stuff my kids would like but I just didn't care about the actual holiday or decorating or any of it really. I skated by and did anything the kids wanted but the heart wasn't in it like in years past.

Cam got the only thing he asked for.
