The Obligatory New Years reflection post

Hey ya'll. I hope that 2012 is off to a great start for you. Here is my reflection of 2011 and what I am working on for 2012.

I spent all of the year, up until October 2, pregnant. Then I had my little suga booga

I have spent the past 3 months learning how to manage being a new mommy and just recently returning to work. Speaking of work, I changed positions at my job this year back in the Spring.

Looking back, 2011 was one big time of planning and preparation for becoming a mother. That was my main focus, with other small stuff peppered in here and there.

Now that I am getting the hang of things (somewhat), I need to figure out what is important to work on this year. My next area of focus is home. As I have talked about on this little blog before, my family lives in a little condo. I purchased it as a single woman and in the four years since, have seen my blessings grow to include the hubby and bebe. That means that there is not much room for anything. I have had to pack away all of my scrapbooking materials, half of my wardrobe, many of our wedding gifts and so much more. I feel like a big part of my home life is on hold until space allows for it. I want so much to decorate more cutely, display my (currently packed away) books, cook with all of my Crate and Barrel gadgets, and host dinner parties for friends and family. In order to do that, we need SPACE!

So, I am declaring that within the next 6 months we are moving onto bigger and better living arrangements. I started by contacting a real estate agent today. Let's see what happens...

Wedding lessons learned

I'm back and I'm a Mrs! The ceremony was beautiful. The reception was fun. I learned a few things that I will take into my future work as a wedding coordinator (something I have always wanted to to). I have a few things that I wished we would have done differently. I kinda wish we had hired a different wedding coordinator. She did do her job and she pulled the day together but... I don't feel like we were really heard during the whole planning process. So, my advice to anyone who is still in the planning process: 1. If you hire a coordinator, pick someone who respects your budget no matter what it is. 2. Be really detailed with what your vision is for each element of your wedding. Make sure that the person who is in charge of the day has a thorough understanding of that vision. 3. Things will go wrong. Don't sweat it. The morning of the wedding I woke up to a text from my hair and makeup person saying instead of her arriving at 8:00 she would be there at 12:00. I didn...

Where does the time go?

16 days until I make the change from Ms. to Mrs. I feel like I am not yet getting the chance to soak it in. I am still trying to adjust to the new job and keep up with my normal household tasks. I guess I will fully realize it when I put on the dress.

Cookie monster

That is what I feel like right now. The one thing I have no business eating right now is calling my name as I sit in Panera. I just finished my chicken noodle soup and salad and I want a big ole chocolate chip cookie! But if I were to eat one it would mean no more food for the rest of the day due to using up all of my points. Must.....resist.....temptation........
