Another new year. I'm not big on resolutions, but I do like to think of a new year as a fresh start, a chance to reflect and grow and figure out what we really want out of life. For me, I'm pretty happy with where things are headed, but I still have a ways to go and have some improvements I'd like to make along the way. I am always striving to become a better wife and mother and I know there are some specific areas I can improve upon (doing a better job of keeping the house clean, being more consistent about Cole's baths...), but I also need to remember that there is no such thing as the perfect wife/mother and that I am allowed to make mistakes without considering myself a failure. I'd also like to do more for myself and my own growth, such as starting yoga again, and getting back into therapy if I can find a way to afford it. Basically, I don't need drastic changes or life-altering goals, I just want to be a better version of myself, which is something I think we all should strive for no matter what time of year it is.
I am also beginning this blog, a reinvention of some of my past blogs, as a way to remind myself of the beauty in my life and my family, as well as a way to share that beauty with others. Life is going by so fast and I'd like to be able to look back at this blog and remind myself of the joy (and also the inevitable frustration, sadness, anxiety, etc) that we have experienced throughout the year. I hope to post a lot of pictures and supplement with whatever else comes to mind. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself to post every day or to follow certain "rules," we're just going to go with the flow and see where it takes us.
Here's to 2013.
