Why hello...and goodbye to 2012!

It's been a while since I've blogged. It's something I enjoy very much, but it's something that's purely for me. Those types of things tend to get pushed down to the bottom of the laundry basket of life when you're chasing a toddler. I'm pretty sure it's that number three toddler that has put me over the edge, but as he grown closer to two and closer to that independence that he so desperately seeks, I'm also seeing glimpses of my own independence coming back. And it's time to start carving out time for me. That means all the usual things that I seemed to have lost somewhere along the road to having a midget yelling at me day and night. Eating right, exercising, and spending time doing things alone, things I love to do like photography and blogging!

Here's what I want to accomplish in 2013:

1. Daily quiet time
2. Eat better
3. Sleep better
4. Exercise more
5. Take more pictures both behind and in front of the camera
6. Blog as much as I can
7. Complete my business plan
8. Reduce everyday noise - unsubscribe to as many emails/mailing lists as possible, clean up social media, etc.
9. Plan more date nights
10. Have more patience with the kids, especially in the morning. :)

Why blogging? My memory isn't as good as it used to be and I want to have something to look back to and remember the ins and outs of the now. As much as I want to be in present, I also want to capture it's moments to return to later. These moments are truly fleeting, but I will do my damnedest to catch the ones I can! So, expect to see more from me this year. Can't commit to how much more, but there will be more. I will be making it a priority.

Peace and love in 2013!
