Happy New Year

I am so happy it is 2008! I love the start of a New Year--Such promise and hope.

Although, I never have official New Year's resolutions. I do make mental notes of what I want to do better. Here's my short list:

1. Be more patient with my kids
2. Greet my husband with a kiss
3. Be more organized
   
4. BLOG more!

In fact, I struggle with number 3 every year. I often wonder if an organized mom is really possible? I marvel when I meet one (a rarity) and have been known to ask them for quick tips to help me in my quest. I realize that for any semblance of organization to occur, it has to be simple and fun for me.

In fact, I am a huge fan of our Birthday Books, Baby Journals & School Year's Memory Books.
for the sole reason that if I can manage to chronicle my children's life than anyone can!

And then, blogging! I find writing to be so therapeutic and talking to other parents with similar believes MOTIVATING. So why is it the things we love to do the most go by the wayside? Overseeing a small business at Christmas requires EVERYONE in our company to pull out all the stops. And I have to say, we did an amazing jobs fulfilling 99% of our orders and disappointing very few. Holiday sales exceeded our expectations and our vendors came through for us on almost all angles.

Yet, I for one am thrilled to be starting a NEW YEAR and looking forward to starting on my new resolutions!
