Day 11- New Years Resolutions

OK soo yes I'm skipping day 10 for now until I can spend a lot more time on finding all my songs! New Years Resolutions are welll.... humph one of those things. Does anyone REALLY hold on to their resolutions ALL year long. I mean yes gym memberships always go up in January and the organic healthy food section of the grocery store sales shoot up but how long does it all last?! I would say my New Years Resolution is the same as my everyday resolution- to be the very best I can be. To live out my short life on this earth in preparation for the Kingdom of Heaven. To glorify God and praise his name. To be more understanding, patient, loving, kind hearted, a good wife, daughter, friend co-worker and all around good person. I fail often but I do try- that's all we can hope for. But most importantly to give thanks and make my Almighty God proud!

Day 12- Show us your decorations


 (the bow is upright and straight now I promise)















Here is the start of our Christmas Decorations! Pictures of Christmas lights is super hard to take! We still have YET to be home and complete all I want to get done when it comes to decor so more to come! Stay tuned..... LOTS to be done!

  4. I know you posted this 2 months ago, but I saw your no bake cookies, and had to agree! I love no bake cookies, I make mine a little different with peanut butter, but they are the best ever. It's nice to see fellow no bake cookie lovers out there.
