Happy New Year!!

I can't believe that I have been such a slacker with this blogging thing. Okay, maybe I sort of kind of knew it would happen ;) BUT it is a NEW year so one of my many new years resolutions is to post at least once a month. That can't be that hard, right? Since we are on the subject of new years resolutions I might as well give "the list". Maybe posting it on here and making it public will help me follow through...maybe ;)

New Years Resolutions 2012: (not in order of importance...)

Take time to take care of myself
This sounds so much better than diet and loose weight doesn't it? It really does mean much more than just the normal diet and exercise resolution. This is more about learning to balance all the aspects of being a working mom. At first it may sound a little selfish but hear me out. It's about taking time to take care of myself so that I can be the best wife to my deserving hubby and the best mom to my amazing little boy. Believe it or not this is where the, "post once a month on my blog comes in". I really do enjoy it and think that making time for things that I enjoy is part of taking care of myself. In other words this resolution consists of feeding my body and soul...eating healthy food, making working out a part of my daily life again, and taking time to myself to do things that I enjoy. All of which I hope will bring me to a good place and help make 2012 a great year!

Think less, talk less, smile more...
This may sound silly but honestly if you know me at all you know that I over think, over speak, and often let things get to me that I shouldn't. Not this year....okay well I will try my best ;) I'm just honestly tired of letting people who don't bring love and happiness into my life bring me down. I know... I can't control them and the only thing I can control is whether or not I let it get to me. Easier said than done for someone who is a tad sensitive and self conscious (maybe I should add self confidence to the list). One hard lesson I learned in 2011 was that no matter what the truth is, people will always think what they want,believe who they want, and do what they want. As frustrating as that may be...it is what it is. I'm letting go...by the way, totally failing on the talk less thing at this moment. Darn it!

Get my Real Estate License
So I took the course over the summer and still need to take the final exam as well as the exam to get my license. I want to get my license before the end of the school year! I really want to do this as a side job and see how it goes. In this economy I'm almost positive it will not become a full time job!

That's it...I think!

Wait...

I have some key words that I'm keeping in mind in 2012...

BALANCE my life
LAUGH as much as possible
have FUN each day
CHALLENGE myself
LOVE myself, my family and friends everyday!!





Here's to 2012 and all the amazing things to come!! Happy New Year!
