Start Of 2012

The New Year is upon us.  Instead of resolutions this year I am going to create a few goals, if they aren't resolutions they won't be broken right?  Either way a few simple things I want to do for myself and my family this year are: tidy as I chase after Maci, try a new recipe weekly, finally get rid of my belly, create my bucket list for our UK lives, start accomplishing travels from the bucket list and be more creative and imaginative with our everyday lives, to slow down and cherish each and every moment with Maci as she is already almost 6 months old and it feels like yesterday I was still complaining for her to get out of my belly.

I started BIG with the new recipe idea.  I have had some cravings of many foods we cannot get over here in the UK.  Lately it has been perogies, so yes, today I made potato and cheese perogies from scratch.  It was quite easy, but time consuming.  Not every new recipe will be this intense, but they were good, and I have leftovers frozen so next time I crave them it will be an easy meal.

I just wanted to share the Christmas present Maci and I made for John.  The first picture is all the materials.

This picture is my ideas.

The final project hung on the wall.  A grow chart for Maci.  I have her foot and hand prints on it where she was partially cooperative.
