Things That I Know


1.  One of my favorite Christmas presents that I received this year?  This spoon.  If you don't have one you need one.  I think I have used it seven times already. And I have only cooked four meals since the holiday. Go figure.

2.  My sweet hubby also got me this.  OBSESSED.  I wear it daily.  Which is more often than I wear my engagement ring.  OBSESSED.  What's not to love about a Boston Terrier?

3. I am proud to announce that you can now shop H&M online.  Actually, you have been able to for a while now.  But I didn't want to give it away in case I was buying you a Christmas present from there.  But with the holiday behind us I think it's safe to say that if you didn't get a gift from me, you probably won't.  Check out their home department.  It's lovely.  And cheap.  In a non-cheap looking way.

4.  It's 2014!  Crazy.  I never thought I would live this long.  Just kidding.  I just can't think of anything else to say about 2014.

5.  Making this tomorrow.  Tamales without the time or effort? I have a toddler.  I'm in.

6.  This spicy soup makes me wish I had cooked a ham for the holiday.  Well, no time like the present I guess!

7.  These quinoa granola bars look amazing.  

8.  Some of my goals for the New Year:

------- Run a half marathon (checking this one off in two weeks- always make your goals reachable!)

------- Make my own vegetable stock/broth.  And lots of it.

------- Tell my daughter that she's beautiful every day.  That's not a tough one. 

------- Tell my husband that I love and appreciate him every day.  I know that I don't do it enough.

------- Do more local shopping.  Not more shopping.  Just spend more of our shopping money locally.  I think it's important.

------- Call my grandparents more often.  I am so blessed to still have them in my life.  I need to take the time to visit with them, learn from them, and tell them that I love them.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!  

May your year be filled with more joy than tears, more love than fear, more prosper than languish, more health than sickness.
