Happy New Year!!

Wow, I have been a terrible blogger.  Life got in the way and I gave up with my blog, though I enjoyed it. 

I have been on vacation for the last two weeks and have had a chance to catch up on all of the blogs that I follow, not to mention taking some time to organize my house a little bit.  I cleaned out my laundry room, cleaned and organized the pantry (and threw away two bags of stuff!), went through the dresser and part of the closet.  I am going to get my house in order in 2011!!

I've read lots of blogs about the top 10 projects of 2010.  I don't have that to share this year, but hope I will next year.  Instead, I am going to share my top 10 "to-do" list for 2011.  Hopefully, "to-do list" will be more attainable than a "resolution"!!

1.  Eat better and feed my family healthier food.
2.  Exercise and get in better shape.  I'd like to lose 75lbs this year... won't be easy, but I am going to give it my best shot!
3.  Make my kids REALLY do their chores!  (Hey, I am trying to teach them some responsibility and I need the help!)
4.  Finish my laundry room re-do by building a platform for the washer and dryer.  I am too cheap to buy the stand from the company, so I am going to build my own.  I also need to move the washer and dryer around, so I no longer have to unload the washer over the washer door.  It might seem like nothing, but it is a pain in the neck!
5.  Learn to put my clean clothes away... ALL THE TIME!!
6.  Continue with my greeting cards for the florist in town.  Nice way to make a few extra dollars.
7.  Focus on the future of my careers.  Options are out there, I just need to think and plan.
8.  Continue stengthening my relationship with God and be a good role model for my kids.
9.  Catch up, or at least put a dent in, my scrapbooking!
10. Spend more quality time with my family
11. Build some quality friendships.
12. Make stuff with all of the craft supplies that I have already bought.
13. Organize my craft room... and keep it organized.

No, these are in no particular order, and once I got started I could have gone on and on, but thought it better to stop at 13.  Who knows, maybe I will blow myself out of the water and really achieve and surpass this list.  Hey, I can dream big!

Hope you will stick with me in 2011.  I'll need help and support from my friends.  I'm going to work on so many different areas and hope to make 2011 the best year ever.

Blessing to you all!
