Jan. 2nd Already A Great Start

It's already a great start for the New Year. From the moment I woke up, I was proactive with event planning for my daughters Sweet 16. If you haven't signed up for Pinterest yet, I highly recommend it, but I'll talk about Pinterest in another post some other random day. In the afternoon we planned to do something different. We planned a trip to the downtown ice skating rink. One of my resolutions (I have many), is to plan more outings with the kids, more quality time with the family. It was a great time for the kiddos. Afterwards we stopped by for our holiday family tradition hot cocoa at the Fairmont Hotel. It has definitely been a great start. Tomorrow the holidays are officially over for us as the kids go back to school and I go back to work. I hope we can bounce back into normal routine with a breeze.

One random note before I sign off. Last night I was proactive as well and took the time to clean my make-up brushes. Who knew how easy it would be and such worthy results. I purchased a cleaner shamoo sometime last year, but put it off because I thought it would be so time consuming and hard. Wrong! So easy! I'm so glad to get this task out of the way and thankful for new years motivation to make me get up and just do something!

Another random note, it's hard to breathe under 3 layers of heavy blankets while typing this post on an iPhone. I'm just saying.

Happy New Year!!

I can't believe 2011 has come and gone.  Exactly one year ago from this day, I decided to start a blog of 365 days of randomness.  You can see from my last post date how well I did with the "365 days" part of the blog. Well you know what they say, if at first you don't succeed, try try try again.  And what perfect timing to try, as it is January 1st again.

There are so many random things I can say about the year 2011.  Like how the birth of this blog randomly took place last year and how I randomly posted on Facebook that I choked on my cereal while singing Someone Like You by Adele.  I just seriously randomly thought about that FB post (squirrel!).  2011 has been a blast.  It was fast, it was hectic, it was definitely lived.  This year, I'd like to slow it down some, but we will see.

Let's just stop here and say "Cheers" to 2012.  May the New Year bring love and laughter to our homes, health to our bodies, God in our hearts and prosperity throughout all aspects of our lives.

You know it's late when I have to really come up with something random to say.

Cheers to the New Year All!  And many more random days to come...

Day #4 Social Skills

How do you teach social skills? Actually, I should probably Google that? I'm having a sudden breakdown with my 4 year old son. Ok, maybe being home all day with no outside social connection may be the root cause of his actions, but I really thought this skill was more common sense. Is it not?

Day #3 First Day at Work... for the New Year

It's Monday January 3, 2011.  First day at work... for the new year.  Aw, I miss my vacation days of last week.  Fun in Vegas, baking cookies with the kids, Christmas and New Year celebrations.  Family.  Oh the good 'ol days.  Well here's to resolutions, changes and goals.  May we succeed each day going forward into 2011.

One resolution was to spend more quality time with my family.  Although work is crazy busy and I got home late (a usual work night for me), I was still able to sit and have a lovely delicious dinner with my family, have a one-on-one convo with my husband for a whole 15 minutes, and played ZINGO! with the kiddos!  Yippee.  God is good.  I am thanking God for all that I have today, for tomorrow is a new day to be grateful for.

Well, I should really start thinking of some creative fun "random" posts.  I apologize, to no one, because I have no followers at this time.  But I will work at making it better.  We have 362 more days to go!

Day #2 Sweetly Broken

Sweetly Broken by Jeremy Riddle

Random post.  That's what the blog is all about.  I may not have meaning to each day I post, or it may mean all the world.  Either way, it's random.  Here is a song from Church today.  Love it!

Day #1 Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for me. One thing is for sure, I'll be working on one extra project for the year, that being this blog. Day #1 is coming to an end so I must end here. To be honest it's been a lazy kind of day. This post is just to start me off on the right foot - called day #1. Cheat or fair, you be the judge!
