And a List of 12 Things I'm looking forward to in 2012...

1. Joining the iphone club, more specifically insta.gram!
2. Another Gardening Season!
3. Wayne and Gretchen's Wedding!
4. Making my own yogurt, shampoo and soaps!
5. An important Solar Eclipse (May 20)!
6. 4 year wedding anniversary.
7. A Fun Summer with an almost 2 year old!
8. Designing and publishing a new professional website.
9. Sonja's 2nd Birthday.
10.Organizing my home and completing upcycling projects.
11. More Crafting and Art making with Katie, {maybe even show at a gallery}!
12. Hawaii with the whole family {our Christmas gift from my mom, even though I don't want to go for several reasons including fear of flying and moral objections- I know it will be a big memory maker}

New Year's Resolution List

I don't normally make these lists because when I think a change is necessary I implement it right away instead of waiting for a significant date. However, this year some changes and big ideas happen to be taking place at the exact right time for such a list, so here it is:

1. Smile more (I don't do this nearly enough, for how happy I really am)

2. Take my dogs (and daughter) on more walks

3. Create more works of art, painting, ceramics and such

4. Be a better teacher, be more prepared, more knowledgeable, more engaging.

5. Continue on my coffee-less lifestyle until at least march 2011

6. Make my Etsy store a success

7. Post more D.I.Y. projects on this blog

8. Nurture our garden into edible food

9. Practice my self defense techniques, shooting, knife skills and hand to hand

10. Continue saving $$ for summer (paycheck-less) and for traveling

11. Eat Better, MORE veggies/complete proteins/organic produce and LESS sugar/sucanat

12. Go to Yoga at least once a week

13. Practice languages; Spanish, Russian, German, Italian

14. Be a better mom (including holding Sonja Sweetness more, teach her more, stop being lazy)

15. Be a better wife (including cooking more, cleaning more, say thank you more and the such)

Happy NEW YEAR!
