Resolutions...How Well I Kept Up in 2012

I wanted to share a little guest post I wrote for the fabulous Pam a few weeks ago.  I took a look back at my 2012 resolutions and how I faired with them.  Pretty well if I do say so myself!  Looking back always motivates me to keep working on my current resolutions!

2012 Resolutions
1. Get back into pre-baby shape.
Done!  Now I'm not totally happy with my body and it's always a work in progress.  But I lost the rest of my baby weight in February of 2012 and have been working on toning it!

2. Organize and de-clutter the house.
This is definitely something I worked on and got much better at this year.  Skip and I still want to tackle the attic but a lot of things were donated this year!

3. Take more pictures and videos.
Still bad with the videos...hangs head in shame:(  I haven't been taking more pictures with my good camera but there have been more than enough I Phone pics taken!

4. Take more time with Skip.
I don't think married people with two kids ever get enough date nights out, but we definitely do get out regularly.  We make sure to spend quality time at home together too. 

5. Be more in the moment.
This is something I am always thinking about and making a conscious effort to do.  I've definitely gotten better about it over the year! 

6. Make sure those around me know how much I love them.
I really did make more of an effort with those I love this year, and I hope they noticed!

Overall pretty good last year!  How are you about keeping up with your resolutions?

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
