resolution

i know i am a few days late but you lovely readers will forgive me. i have a two resolutions this year...

• more sunscreen! no wrinkles or skin cancer in 2011 woot woot!
• be kinder in my thoughts, words and actions.

part of my be kinder resoulution applies to myself. i really need to work on lowering my expectaions of myself. this doesn't mean that i am not going to coninue to try and be the best wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister etc... i can be but rather allow myself to make mistakes admit that i made them and move on rather then dwell on that imperfection and label myself a failure. i have decided its ok if my dishes don't get put in the dishwasher immediately, if laundry sits in the basket for an extra day or if my kids eat pretzel sticks and fruit snacks for breakfast (sometimes). this is going to be very hard but good challange for me. wish me luck!

happy thursday!

p.s. how cute are these kids?

Hello 2011

hi friends. i've missed you while i was away from blogging. i know, i have said it before (and i will probably say it again) but i am going to try, try, try to be better about posting. i like to blog. it is good for my soul almost like a diary, a very public diary. writing down our memories even if it is just a one sentence blurb or a single picture, will be wonderful to look back on in a few years.

did you have a good christmas? we had a great christmas!


lots of running around, going to bed to late and missing naps but it was wonderful all the same.


i am pretty sure it was harder on me then the kids.


i tried very hard to relax and enjoy myself but there always came a point where i looked at the clock realized it was hours past my kiddies bed time and i would have a panic attack.


then i would give corey the signal to round up the kids before things got ugly.




our new years was wonderfully boring.

it was perfection. it was warm



(warm enough for kids who have been stuck inside for the past month) outside so we played in the circle with our buds until the rain chased us inside for chinese and movies in our cozy basement. perfection.

we are just getting into the groove today after a lengthy break from our schedule. i have to admit it was nice to take sass to school, mop the floors, make dinner and just be regular.


happy tuesday!
