Happy New Year friends. Firstly thanks for all your support and nice words over the year. You have made this year special and I have formed some great relationships through the blog. Since everyone is doing it, I figured I would jot down a few of my new years resolutions.
- Take better care of my body, being more active outdoors and doing yoga regularly. Less time on the computer.
- Do more to help in the community, helping both animals and people who are less privileged
- Getting my hands dirty, helping and learning from farmers, planting trees and expanding my summer garden.
- Travel more, whether it be little trips or big ones.
- Teaching myself how to bake well. The Tartine Cookbook will be my motivation.
- Buying nothing packaged or canned, cooking everything from scratch.
- Taking a wood working course, so I can learn to build things.
- Growing my business and creating new client relationships.
- Always looking at ways to improve myself and to never stop learning.
January 1st also happens to be my birthday, so New Year, new age :) 27 is going to be a good year.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! 27 was my best year yet, but it was also the year I gave birth to my 1st son. Having babies aside though, it was an age that I truly felt like I was coming into my own, so to speak.
