As I’ve mentioned I’m not all that into resolutions, but imagine the possibilities of this bad boy! Diets, exercise, remembering to feed the kids (er) – absolutely anything you want to keep track of doing on a daily basis. She’s provided the genius template, now you provide the rest.
I cut out New Year’s resolutions a few years ago after making too many unfulfilled promises to myself and feeling bad about it. I’m not knocking them if you’re a fan, I’m just no good with such a big weight on my shoulders. (I’ll lose 50 lbs. I’ll . I’ll single-handedly be responsible for world peace.)
I’m more of a believer that instead of resolving to do something, we should try to make smaller life decisions that are part of our day to day existences. I plan on trying to drink more water, keeping in closer touch with friends and family and starting to landscape around my house. Easy enough because I know they’re all possible without too much trouble. What are your goals for 2010?
And because I’ve been out of the loop for the past few weeks, some of my favorite posts that have graced my reader recently:

Yeah, I know. It’s December 29th and I’m only just now wishing you happy holidays and I have the gall to post a photo of silver tree branches after the 25th! Oh well, because I’ve been hanging onto this photo since last Christmas and just had to share. And to wish you the happiest season just about ever.
The flu has made for the hills, though my ears are still stuffy and I only have about 75% of my hearing. Next week brings a visit to an ear nose and throat doctor and hopefully the other 25% back. My MacBook showed up two hours after me at work this morning, wrapping up an oddly Groundhog Day-ish experience. (The display went out on the same day as last year, under the same circumstances and the same genius at the Apple Store waited on me one year to the day. Freaky.) All good things so far this week and I’m hoping the trend continues.
Blogging will be spotty this week, but stay tuned for some loose ends that were left hanging when I expectantly fell to the forces of the flu. (i.e. the Xenotees winner, the end of Cinnamon Week, etc.) So happy to be back!
Not this year, but hopefully next, I plan on going 100% handmade with all of my presents. As in, handmade by me. It’s a big undertaking, but I’ve been gathering ideas for a few months and know it’s totally do-able. My latest find: DIY flavored sugars. (PS: Don’t you just love how she wrapped them?!}
I hope you enjoyed all of the cookies recipes this week! This weekend I’ll be making 14 dozen Orange Spice Wafers (similar to these) for a cookie swap that’s happening Monday. Wish me luck! What’s your go-to holiday cookie recipe?
I spotted these yarn wreaths several weeks ago over on Scoutie Girl and flipped! Super crafty and super cute. They actually inspired me to make my own attempt at something similar, but I was way too meticulous about it and – no surprise whatsoever – Agnes’s look miles better. I love that several of them could be a year-round decoration, too.
