Happy New Year!

With the promise of NYE parties, sequined dresses, a new pair of stilettoes and a kiss at midnight – I still managed to find myself plopped on the couch, snuggled up with my dog. Lame! There may or may not have been a pint of Ben and Jerry’s involved as well ;) Anylamenight, there’s something about the first of the year that gives me (and I’m not alone here) the hope that the slate has been cleaned, wrongs can be righted and I can be anything I want to be in 2012.

That’s correct… it’s resolution time!! As Bethany knows, I can make lists all year long of the magical things I want to accomplish. So here I am with the start of my list. Happy New Year everyone!!! 
Resolution (#1)
It wouldn’t be fair to leave this one out. It’s time to get back into the workout routine and get my grocery list back on track. Day 2 and I’m still doing good J


 Of course I will reward my good progress with new and improved workout gear!

And keep repeating this in my head each morning when I wake up at 5:30am for my first workout of the day.

dresses and NYE parties

If I had somewhere fancy to be for New Year's [and I was rail-thin], this is what I'd wear.

Organize Now!


Each year January marks two major milestones – first, it’s the beginning of a new and untainted year and second, it’s undoubtedly the most ambitious month of the year. Yes folks, it’s resolution time!! I think we all have the some staple declarations on our list; lose weight, save money and organize.


I don’t know about you but organization seems to be on my to-do list all year long. With husbands, dogs and kids this is an ongoing battle for most of us. Sometimes it’s hard to know where to start and sometimes we just need a kick in the butt to get going. This is why I want to share with you a book I purchased a couple years ago that’s been such a huge help in getting me started and keeping me going. Jennifer Ford Berry has written Organize Now! an ingenious companion to your clean-house efforts. It’s a week-by-week guide on how to get straight on everything from organizing your child’s toys, your memorabilia, your recipes to organizing your mind.

Now that the gift giving is behind you, it’s time to buy a little something for yourself and your family to get back on track and stick to your resolutions. This comes highly recommended by yours truly. If you get the book please report back and let me know how you like it.
