The holidays are so crazy and fun and I just haven't felt the urge or motivation, but it's January, that resolution-y time of year and one of my resolutions is to be better about blogging. Here are a few others -
- Do some things around our house - decorating-wise. I am not thrilled with our house's decor, but I have trouble figuring out exactly what changes I need to make to get to where I want to be. I think I'll start small - switch out the drapes in the family room for something lighter for example. And see what happens from there.
- Watch my portion sizes. I truly believe in all things in moderation - I don't want to go on some silly fad diet that fails immediately because I am so deprived. But it's so easy to just put a little less on my plate. Fewer calories = fewer pounds. I don't need to lose, I just need to maintain and with my lack of exercise, diet's gonna have to carry the weight of that goal (no pun intended).
So, a quick catch-up on the holidays. We hosted Christmas Eve for my family and had a wonderful time. Jer and I worked like crazy around the house all day and got the house in decent shape so that by the time people came over I felt relaxed and just had fun - yay!! I think I like this hosting parties business.
Christmas day was really fun over at Jim and Jo's house. Lots of little nieces and nephews and cousins and such made it a great time, as always. And of course the most amazing thing was the SNOW!! It came down all day in beautiful big flakes and made the perfect backdrop to a relaxing and fun Christmas.
The next day we went down to Amelia Island and spent a fabulous week with my parents, Aunt Lisa, four sweet babysitters (I mean cousins) Ava, Ellie, Abby and Logan and of course, Cricket the wonder dog. We had a fantastic week including walks on the beach, a trip to the zoo and even some pool swimming! Thanks to grandma and grandpa for crankin' the heat up to 90.
Below are some pics to illustrate the fun happenings.
Happy New Year everyone!
