I'm late participating in this blog meme, but thought it would be a fun way to share a bit more about myself each month. Better late than never!
1. Resolutions or No Resolutions? - I set goals and love to dream!
2. Love Snow or No Snow? - I have a love for snow. I love the pure white blanket it leaves on the ground. I love watching it fall slowly to the ground and I especially love watching my girls make little snowmen and sled down our hill.
3. Name a New Place you want to go this year. - I recently traveled to the Coastal Redwood Forest and would really love to go again. It was amazing! It's not a new place, but I can imagine that each and every visit would be a new experience.
4. Would you rather have a New Hair Cut or Hair Color - hmm...maybe a little of both! I'm growing out my bangs per a little contest with my girls and I'm starting to see the little grays popping up.
5. Name One Special Thing you want to do for yourself this year. - I want to get my home painted. Both inside and out.
6. Least favorite thing about January - I'm usually tired from the holidays and it seems there is still a lot going on in our family in January.
7. Most favorite thing about January - It's winter! I get to usually enjoy the season with blankets, a crackling fire, books and puzzles. I also get to start with a new calendar, a blank slate of memories ahead.
8. When do you take down your Holiday Decorations? - I used to take them down on New Year's morning during the Rose Parade, but for the past two years, I have taken them down before the New Year and enjoyed the rest and a clean home on the 1st of the year.
9. Do you diet in January? - I have in the past, but I didn't this year. I need to get back to healthier eating, though.
10. What area of your home do you want to organize the most? - ALL of it! I am still on a huge purge of trying to clear out 50% of "things" that are cluttering my life and freedom to enjoy time with my family. The hardest thing for me is books which takes up a huge amount of space in several rooms. I really struggle to get rid of books - they are a treasure to me that I really wanted to bless my future generations with the words on these pages in this new digital era where ebooks are taking a lead. I love the smell of books, the touch of the different paper, and the turning of pages.
11. Favorite Winter Comfort Food - Freshly baked homemade bread hot out of the oven!
12. Favorite Guilty Pleasure - This month has been Starbucks Chestnut Praline lattes with nonfat milk, topped with whipped cream.
