52 Fridays: Week 15 Update

Here goes this week’s report. You can read more about my journey beginning with Week 1. Feel free to join me and Crystal in this journey.

1. DAILY quiet time: Why is it that this is the hardest thing to get done? Am I the only one who feels this way? Making this a first priority is #1 on my list this week. I’ve just got to get up and get it done. Get a new habit going and keep with it – no matter what! I get my emails through biblegateway.com and a women’s devotional through Proverbs 31 devotions. Such great tools – be sure to check them out! 

2. Weekly weight loss: I continue to struggle with finding the time to workout. The Hubster has joined the “cause” and is ready to move to real foods with me. Now that I’m not alone in this, I think we’ll really be able to move forward with this!! 

3. Vintage Remedies 8 weeks to Real Foods: Still working on the  food pantry sheet. We’re in the process of clearing out our pantry to use what we have and transition into “real foods.” I can’t even tell you how excited I am. I’ve heard such great results from those who’ve made the switch. Not only in weight loss, but also in how much better they feel. I can’t wait!!! Real Foods…here I come! 

4. Homeschool Fun: This week has been more organized and therefore, we have more time for FUN!! Read my Homeschool Happenings post today to see more!! 

5. Organization: Not much to report here. I’ve got great ideas, but lack either the funds or the time! Working on new, inexpensive options!! 

6. Staying caught up: This area was not so great this week. I am getting caught back up on laundry, but dishes are another story. In November 2011, I had surgery on my right wrist. All was going well, until this past weekend when it started acting up on me again. At one point I couldn’t even grip a can of pop or door handle. NOT FUN!! So, I’ve had to rely on The Hubster for help. And well…we all know how most men are about dishes or chores in general! LOL But, we’re working on it! 

7. Blog changes: Okay, so things are not going quite as planned. I think I’m going to push this back to May. Look for the changes coming May 2012!!!! The design is being re-vamped and I’ve got such cute blog buttons to share…I can’t wait!!!!

How do you find time to spend with the Lord in prayer?  Feel free to share your tips and ideas in a comment or link back to a post!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a blessed weekend!

Blessings,

Annette

52 Fridays: Weekly Update #12

Here goes this week’s report. You can read more about my journey beginning with Week 1. Feel free to join me and Crystal in this journey.

1. DAILY quiet time: This week I’ve not been getting on the computer daily. It’s been a rough week. I’m not sure why this week was worse than any of the past two months, but it was. I know that’s when I need to be in God’s Word even more, but I haven’t. I will do better! I get my emails through biblegateway.com and a women’s devotional through Proverbs 31 devotions. Such great tools – be sure to check them out! 

2. Weekly weight loss: Well, I still haven’t figured out when the best time to do the Wii Fit is, but I did get on it the other night and weigh myself. I have lost 1.1 lbs. in the last 13 days. Not much. A little less than I wanted to lose in 2 weeks, but at least it’s a loss and not a gain, right?! I guess cutting back on my portions has helped! 

3. Vintage Remedies 8 weeks to Real Foods: Printed a food pantry inventory list from here. Plan to work on that today. Here’s to hoping! 

4. Homeschool Fun: We had a rough week in this area. We did find some great online math games to help him. I also bought a math game for him. Saw some great experiments to try, but they didn’t fit our lesson. Hoping to do some of them in the next couple weeks. 

5. Organization: Not much to report here. I’ve got great ideas, but lack either the funds or the time! Working on new, inexpensive options!! 

6. Staying caught up: Kept up pretty good this week. Finishing my laundry today to get caught up again for the weekend. Dishes have been caught up all week!!! YAY!!! 

7. Blog changes: I am still working on the design of my blog and getting things just the way I want them before we go live. But, I hope to have everything up and running for a reveal on April 2^nd!!!! I will give you all fair warning before hand so you can be ready for the launch! I can NOT even tell you how excited I am!

 Are you a homeschooling mom? What are some of your favorite ways to “mix-it-up” a bit during the week to make it more fun and exciting?

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a blessed weekend!

Blessings,

Annette

52 Fridays: Weekly Update

Since Sunday night I have been battling an intestinal virus only compounded by my Crohn’s. I am so glad that today (Thursday) was a MUCH better day!!!! I have done what I could this week between an ALL DAY trip to the ER Monday and the weakness and tiredness that goes along with a virus. So, here’s my weekly update for what it’s worth.

1. DAILY quiet time: I have not been keeping up very well this week. Spending most of my time either in bed or in the restroom proved more tiring than I thought. Starting fresh again Friday morning!!! NOTE: I’m so thankful we serve a merciful and gracious God. We may falter and fail at times, but when we can call on His name and pick right back up where we were. And…it’s like we’ve never left. Praise the Lord! 

2. Weekly weight loss: I’m not sure this week is a good judge! Haha Although, I’ve probably lost some weight, I know it’s not due to healthy eating…but lack of eating all together! So…we’ll keep moving forward with this once I’m back to a more normal eating program. 

3. Vintage Remedies 8 weeks to Real Foods: The next few weeks are being spent cleaning/clearing out the pantry and using up foods we have already purchased. Then, I hope to replace those foods with more “real” foods and healthier choices. 

4. Homeschool Fun: Again…not much schooling going on with Momma down and out. We did have several teaching opportunities though that we seized the moment with. Right now those seem to have escaped my mind…ugh…I dislike getting old!! 

5. Organization: I’m working on my pantry. It’s proving to be a bigger project than I thought, but I’m so happy to get it going!!!! I’ve got a vision and I can’t wait to make it work! 

6. Staying caught up: Even though I was sick the better part of the week, I have remained quite caught up on laundry. I only have 2 loads to do tomorrow, which is right on track! YAY!!!! And, I’m pleased to say the dishes are caught up following dinner Thursday night! Double YAY!!!!! 

7. Blog changes: I am still working on getting everything in place. But, hopefully in the next 2 weeks I’ll be rolling out the red-carpet to my new website!!!! I am so excited!!!! 

What are some of your favorite “Real” or “Whole” food recipes? I need some GREAT inspiration to get me motivated!!!

Blessings,

Annette

52 Fridays: Weeks 6-8 Catching Up!!

In case you didn’t notice, I’ve missed a few weeks of our 52 Friday’s posts. I am so very sorry for dropping the ball here. My life changed over the past few weeks.

Just to give you the synopsis, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer (after 5 days in the hospital) on January 28^th. He went home that day and waited for his follow-up appointment with his doc on February 3^rd. He was sent from his appointment to the hospital again, with the threat of both lungs collapsing (the left lung collapse landed him in the hospital the first time). That was the last time my Dad would see the outside of a hospital. We spent the next week and a half visiting him in the hospital and preparing for the worst, all the while hoping and praying for a miracle. God had other plans and took my Daddy HOME early in the morning on February 14^th, 2012.

So, it’s been a whirlwind of diagnosis’, doctors, medication, tests, tearful visits and our Last Good-bye (read more here).

But, I am getting back on track here at home and I finally decided that I should put together a form I can just fill out each week. DUH!! This will make it so much easier to update my progress for our 52 week journey!

So, even though this may not be the best update of the year, I’m chronicling my progress anyway. These go in order of what I wrote about in Week 1.

1. DAILY quiet time: I have been reading my daily emails, which I signed up for in January. I signed up at biblegateway.com to help me stay on track. There are several different programs to choose from and I am super excited to get into God’s Word this way!!!

2. Weekly weight loss: Okay, so this has not gone so well. Especially with all the wonderful food provided to us last week after my Dad’s passing. But, I am back to portion control and eating better. I’m looking at a few new approaches and what will work best for me and my family. Because as we all know, if we don’t get our families involved, we’ll just give up. It’s so difficult to make yourself something healthy to eat, when your family is eating your favorite meal.

3. Vintage Remedies 8 weeks to Real Foods: I did not do so well with this, so I’m starting over!!! I have all the emails and what I’m to do. So, with a little more planning and ingenuity on my part I think we can make this work!

4. Homeschool Fun: Well…to be honest, we haven’t had school in the past few weeks with everything going on. But, I did come across some GREAT websites today, which I found on pinterest, of course. Follow my Homeschool boards to keep up with new finds!

5. Organization: I am surprised at how much I’ve been able to accomplish so far. I am still working on getting our kitchen organized just the way I want, but otherwise I am doing pretty well. I am really working on planning things out before I just go changing them around. I found when I changed things in haste, just to have them done, it didn’t always work out so well. So, I may be a little slower on some things than others, but it’s simply because I want to do it ONCE!

6. Staying caught up: I am getting caught back up on laundry after being out-of-pocket most of last week. But, with my central closet in place (mostly anyway), things move so much faster and easier! Dishes are caught up now, which makes me feel better. Have some major cleaning to do this weekend to get back on track, but that’s just what it takes sometimes. Now…if I could just find that motivation again! haha

7. Blog changes: I was finally able to purchase my new domain name last night. I will be working on more changes and updates throughout the weekend. I am so excited to get my new site up and running!!!! I CAN NOT wait to reveal it to you all!!!

So, how are you doing in your quest this year? Are you becoming more DISCIPLINED or ORGANIZED? While you’re here, please share some tips!

Blessings,

Annette


Join us:

52 Fridays: My Home Management Binder: My Lifeline

These are the tab dividers I used for my binder. I then have a Table of Contents in the front.
(I already had the binder and dividers so the cost for my project was FREE!!)

Week 3

This week we’re going to discuss how to create your own Home Management Binder. But, first, here's my WHY?! Why do you even need a Home Management Binder? I think through my story and the explanation of categories, you'll see why this is SO vital to a home! Especially one with children.

In preparing for my last three deliveries, I found myself taking time to type up daily routines, meal plans, doctors information for the kid(s), snack choices, medication dosages, daily medications, and the list goes on and on. When our 2^nd child was born it wasn’t that much work. Planning for one child (3.5y at the time) was simple. Even planning for two was easy. BUT…when I delivered our last child back in August, I found myself typing up so many new lists, routines and SO.MUCH.INFORMATION. Now, I can be guilty of over-doing it a bit, but wouldn’t you rather have too much information for those caring for your children rather than not enough? Yes, the Hubster was on vacation for a week, but I was in the hospital for 4 days – FOUR DAYS!!!! If I had not put together a meal plan for that week (and freezer meals for the 2 weeks following) my children would likely have eaten fruit gummies, cheese crackers, chicken nuggets and french fries for days on end. So, after typing for days and weeks I realized there must be a MUCH simpler way to do this! So I began researching how I could better organize everything in our home. Bills, Meal Planning, Daily Routines, Doctors info, etc.  I found this wonderfully helpful site on Pinterest (where else?) and made my own binder. You can see how she makes hers and how I make mine, but you will essentially want to tweak it to what fits your family. (Check out this site for some other ideas on building your own Home Management Binder.)

And, don’t be afraid to change it up from year-to-year. Our family changes and grows, so why wouldn’t your Home Management Binder?

The categories that apply to my household are:

Calendar                     Schedules

Cleaning                      Menu Planning

Finances                     To Do

School                        Medical

Contacts                    Blogging

1) "Calendar" - I fill this out (or update it) every Sunday evening.  I created my monthly pages in a Word doc and print them from my computer. You can also do weekly pages and use these Week-at-a-glance pages from  Mommytrackd (they’re FREE!!!) or create your own!

2) "SCHEDULES" - This is where you would place all of the kids’ & family schedules (dance, basketball, lunch menus, soccer, baseball, cheerleading, boy scouts, church, etc... and my schedules for church, doc appts, etc...). It’s a never ending list. I hole punch everything and throw it out when it no longer applies.

        *NOTE: Since my children do not participate in organized sports (another topic for another post) I put a few different schedules here: my laundry schedule and the Baby’s Schedule and Party Planning sheets from mommytrackd here.  (Are you sensing a pattern?) I also have a rough “draft” if you will, of our daily routine so that when I need to be away for the day my children are still in their routine – somewhat.

3) "CLEANING" - This is a fun one for me (cleaning is not necessarily fun, but the section in my binder is!). I printed out this Fall cleaning printable (again, at mommytrackd.com) and follow along with the cleaning schedule. You can purchase the Cleaning Kit printables from Clean Mama's etsy shop or follow her Kitchen Deep Clean printable or Quick Clean Ups in her FREE printables section, These are great so you don't forget anything! I also have a Chore Chart for my son in here that I print out weekly for him to put his completion stickers on. The printed copy goes on the refrigerator. I also have a Daily-Weekly-Monthly Cleaning/Chore Chart for us to follow. Feel free to download it here and change it to work for your family.

4) "MENU PLANNING" - Some great sets of printables for this section is at Faithful Provisions (they offer other printables too – ALL FREE!!!) or mommytracked (also free)! I use this monthly meal plan & a weekly meal plan with shopping list (I found on Pinterest). I've also created this Snack Options chart for those who come into my home to care for my kids.  The key is to use what works for you & your family. This binder is about making your life simpler, not more difficult or stressful. You can also check out my customizable printables here. 

           A) Daily shopping list by meal
           B) Weekly shopping list by category

           C) Weekly Meal plan (horizontal)

           D) Weekly Meal plan (vertical)


UPDATE: I just got an email with a WONDERFUL resource. Organic Grocery Deals has put together a list of produce monthly. They tell you in detail what is HOT, ripe and going to be gone quickly! They have it by month on their forum, but I've put it all together here in one document. Print it out and post it in your pantry (or in this section of your binder) to help you maximize your meal planning (and money saving) efforts!

5) "FINANCES" - I LOVE this section. I use it D-A-I-L-Y.  It’s my "financial brain" and without it I'd be lost. Even though the Hubster does all the bill paying, I like to know when things are due and how much we owe for what, etc. We do all of the bill tracking & budgeting here. We’re a very strict budget family and this allows us to keep track of everything in one place! In this section I also keep bill acct. numbers, phone numbers (mortgage co., banks, etc.) and online bill-pay sites, passwords, log-ins, etc. on a list. (Obviously I’m not going to post this, but its simply typed up in an Excel spreadsheet and printed.. Easy-peasy!) So if I have to make a phone call to a creditor, I don't have to look the numbers up every time and they’re all in ONE PLACE!!!

6) "TO DO" - Pretty self explanatory. I use the Clean Mama & mommytrackd printables. (see, I really do love them!)

7) "SCHOOL" - This section can hold each child’s absence excuse forms, teacher welcome letters, phone numbers, school calendars, etc. Anything pertaining to "school" goes here. It's been very convenient to have all of these papers in one place. We homeschool, so I put my weekly plans, monthly “plans” & my yearly goals and our school schedule in this section. I do; however, have a separate folder which holds all of his papers and tests and my record keeping is done online.

8) "MEDICAL" - All medical & health insurance information goes here. Phone numbers, copies of insurance cards, immunization records (copies) & physical records (copies) are kept here. You can use Clean Mama printables for this section or make your own. (I made my own.) I also have a mommytrackd (yep...I'm officially obsessed!!!) Babysitter sheet here and our kids medication dosages on a chart (daily medications as well as Tylenol, Motrin and allergy meds). Again, the medication chart is just typed up in a Word document.

9) "CONTACTS" 

The list of contacts you should have in your binder are:

Family                        Friends

Neighbors                    Doctors

Dentist                      Vet

Insurance                    Schools

Take-out                    Work

Local Businesses           Coaches

Kids "friends" Parents     Gas, Electric, Water, Cable, Cell, Mortgage

*I created a spread sheet in Word and typed up all of the names & numbers. Be sure to include the relationship they are to you (i.e. neighbor 3 doors north, Mom’s best friend, Jacob’s mom, etc.).

10) "BLOGGING" - I try to schedule my days well in advance so I know what I need to prepare for. However, these past few weeks have been a little crazy and I’ve been writing as I go. Maybe it has something to do with 3 kids having RSV and breathing treatments every 4 hours, 3 ear infections (2 on the same child – poor baby)m one set of ear tubes and numerous doctor’s appointments to take care of the aforementioned issues…maybe?! (I realize this tab might not apply to everyone, so just make a tab that you think is necessary for your home to run smoothly when/if you're away.) 

Well, I hope that helps you get started on your own Home Management Binder!!! Let me know how it goes and what other tabs/sections you think of for your binder! I might just need them for mine! Happy Friday to you!!!

Blessings,

Annette

52 Fridays - Week 2

Little T taking his breathing treatment. We had to literally put him in a burrito to get this accomplished! He finally settled down and took the medicine while watching Little Einstein's. Thank goodness for videos!

So, last week I wrote out my goals for 2012. I was (and still am) so excited about them. But, as I reflect back on the week, I realize I failed more than I succeeded. UGH!!! No excuses, just life! This week has been an extremely difficult one for our family. For those of you who don’t know, we have 4 kids ages 6 and under. (Yes, it’s a bit crazy at our house most of the time!) Three of them are under 3yrs old!! And this week the 3 youngens all shared a respiratory virus (at least their sharing, right?!). So, on Wednesday I’d had enough & we loaded all 3 of them into the van and took a trip to our doctor. WOW!!! What an adventure!! Our 2.5yo son not only had the virus, but wheezing on top of it, which means FUN times giving breathing treatments every 4 hours. After several treatments on Wednesday, he still was tight and not getting better – in fact, he was a little worse. So, she added another medication in the nebulizer 2x a day and an oral steroid! UGH!!! Have you ever tried to restrain a 2.5yo for 30 minutes just to give him medication? Yeah…it’s not as easy as it sounds! Our daughters just have the respiratory virus, but trust me…that cough is brutal!! It’s waking both of them up all hours of the night and causing LOTS of sleeplessness for this momma!  But, I’ve been through this with the 6yo and know that this too shall pass – thankfully!!

So as I reflect on last weeks goals, here’s what I’m thankful for – RE-DO’S!!!! I can start fresh at any time and there is no punishment! I’m so thankful that my God is a gracious, loving, merciful and forgiving God!! Otherwise I’d be a lost cause.

I also realized that I can’t change everything in one week. It’s a process and it’s going to take time. I always have these lofty goals and visions for my week and when only 2-3 of my 15 items are completed at the end of the week I feel defeated. But, that’s not true!! I’ve completed 2-3 items and that’s more than ZERO! So, this year I would also like to add a goal of PERSISTENCE!! Even if I only complete 1 goal per week, I will continue on. I have an overall goal for the year that I can meet, but it’s just gonna take some time. Some of my goals may take all year to complete, while others may take a month or two and some just a few weeks.

In any case, it took a long time to put on the weight and clutter the house, so it’s gonna take more than a day, week or month to get it back in shape! Patience is going to be KEY in this journey to a more DISCIPLINED life. I know they say not to pray for patience, but I’ve come to realize it’s just what I need!!! I need patience to stay on task and complete my goals. I need perseverance to stay the course and keep my “eyes on the prize!”

So, if this week wasn’t your best or life just happened, will you join me AGAIN (or for the first time) on this 52 week journey? I sure hope so!! It’s so much easier to take a journey, especially a difficult one, with friends. The encouragement is invaluable and pushes us to keep on, keeping on!!  Happy Friday to you and I’ll see you back here next week!

Blessings,

Annette

2012 Posting Schedule

Over the past few months, I’ve realized one main reason I wasn’t consistent with my blogging was I had no plan! I had not been intentional about topics and scheduling time to write. I decided I wanted that to change. Thus began a whirlwind of thoughts, ideas and topics in my head. So, I began jotting down things I enjoy, love, like and want to share with you, my readers. Here’s the list I came up with:

• Cooking: tips, reviews, recipes
• Homeschool: tips, observations, curriculum choices, methods, reviews
• Housekeeping: maintaining a clean house in a busy, hectic family
• Faith: thoughts on my daily devotions, lessons from my kids (cause we all know that happens now that we’re parents), observations from my daily reading, general thoughts
• Organization: my thoughts, tips, tricks & observations as I strive to organize our home
• Photography/Scrapbooking: digital pages I complete, tips on how to get started, tips on completing an album quickly & MORE!
• Reviews: books I read, homeschool curricula, recipes, my week, DIY projects
• Sewing/DIY projects: mostly things I find on Pinterest will go here
• Tyler’s thoughts: this is something I would like to happen as he learns typing and where he can practice his creative writing skills.

WOW!!! After looking over the list I realized one thing…I like a LOT of things! So, I decided that I needed a schedule to make it more manageable. That’s where it became a little more difficult. I wanted to think of cute little names for each topic/heading and it just wasn’t flowing. I was getting frustrated and quickly. (I hate when I can’t think of cute things like I see on other blogs. Why can’t I be cute like that?) So, I decided I needed to pray about them and share my ideas with my husband to get his input and maybe he’d have some ideas. So, here’s what we’ve come up with so far (feel free to add your own cute names in the comments below. I’m open to change!):

• Maid for Mondays: tips on housekeeping, keeping a busy house running smoothly and home organization.
• Teachable Tuesdays: topics pertaining to Homeschooling
• Baking Bits (Wednesdays): you guessed it – this day I will post about my cooking tips, reviews, recipes I’ve tried, our favorites, etc.
• Thursday Thoughts: my reviews (ones that don’t fit in another category like Homeschooling), a funny quip from the week, lessons from my kids, etc. I’ll also post Tyler’s Thoughts here once we get him going (hopefully later this semester).
• 52 Fridays (See yesterdays post for more on this) and Foto Fun: tips for recording your life through pictures and albums! (This is one of my most favorite hobbies, so I can’t wait to share it with you!)
• Sew its Saturday: (hehe, I like this play on words…yes, I’m goofy!) Favorite pins from the week, DIY projects I’ve done with a review & tweaks, etc.
• Scriptural Sundays: This is where I will post a short weekly devotion, a Scripture for the week and my thoughts.

So, whatcha think? I’m liking the names I came up with and I’m SUPER excited about where 2012 is going to take this blog and me!!! Will you join me?? What are your plans for 2012 - personally & as a blogger?

Blessings,

Annette

52 Fridays - Week 1

When approached by my friend Crystal about doing a link-up on Fridays I thought…“Who? Me? Really? I can’t do this! No way!”  Then I remembered why were were doing it – DISCIPLINE. Our word for the year. I commented on her post about choosing this particular word for 2012, in that having already outlined some changes I needed/wanted to make, I wanted to use the same word! And out of that birthed a GREAT idea that will hopefully take-off for us and those of you that want to join us.

52 Fridays to a more disciplined life!!  That’s right – every Friday this year we’re going to link to each other with tips, thoughts and our experiences in changing our lives to be more disciplined.

As I began outlining my goals for this year, it hit me that maybe our idea of DISCIPLINE is skewed. Why do we shy away from it and why is it such a “dirty” word? Jesus taught about discipline as well as Noah, Moses, Paul and more. The people in the Old Testament had to be disciplined if they wanted to earn favor with God. So, how have we strayed so far from this practice? I think it has everything to do with the fact that we live in such a fast-paced world that DISCIPLINE takes too much time, effort and energy. So, my goal this year is to change that perception within me (and others) to show just how great of a word it can be.

So, for Week 1 I’m posting my goals (broken down, of course, into manageable feats). Now, these may change or evolve as the year progresses, but this is where I am today.

1. Intentional, DAILY quiet time in the Word of God. I’ve gotten so caught up in my housework, chores, kids and frankly, just life, that this has gone by the wayside. It is now going to be a priority for me! My goal is to set aside 30 min a day for this.
2. LOSE WEIGHT!!!  To say I want to lose “x” amount of weight by this date scares me to death! I look at that total weight-loss # and immediately freak out, give up and sulk. Not any more! I’ve broken it down into weekly goals that I can manage and see myself meeting. So, my weekly goal is to lose 2 lbs. (Although, total I’d really like to lose about 65lbs.) There…I said it. Whew! Now…moving on…
3. Get rid of processed sugars!!!! I know this is going to be KEY to my weight-loss as I love a good brownie, just like anyone else. But, I also know I need to look at healthier ways to cook such sweets for my family. So, that process has started. In fact, I’m looking at using Vintage Remedies' 8 weeks to Real Foods to help me change these (and other) habits.
4. Make homeschooling more FUN!! Who doesn’t want more fun while their learning? Over the last 1.5 years I’ve been so consumed with what T’s doing and what curriculum to use, that I lost sight of a main reason we chose to homeschool in the first place: to create an environment where learning was challenging yet FUN at the same time. Thus far, I’ve been all business and no play (other than the occasional field trip). I’m going to be more deliberate about planning FUN time into our learning schedule.
5. Get my house (& life) ORGANIZED!! I’m following this blog to help me break things down weekly. She’s already gone through most of the year & posted her weekly challenges. I figure if I need to move mine around to fit the needs of my family (and address my stress for the week), I can!! At least I have a plan to follow and can be held accountable weekly. (I’m SUPER excited about this one!)
6. Stay caught up on laundry, dishes, school, general housework and STAY organized. Once I get things organized weekly, I want and need it to stay that way!!
7. Get my blog changed, updated, organized and just the way I want it!! I’ve got a vision (one that we’re still working on bringing to fruition) – I just need to get it done. I’m also going to be more deliberate about my posts. Check back here tomorrow for my Blog-Post schedule for 2012.

So, there ya have it. My goals for 2012. What are your goals? What would you like to change in 2012? Check back here every Friday for updates, tips & encouragement to keep going!!!

Blessings,

Annette
