No New Year's Resolution for Me!

I never really make a New Year's Resolution to be completely honest, despite the fact that I make my students write one every January. (sorry kids) I do have goals and dreams, but to say "this year I'm going to..." I feel like it sets me up for failure. haha...Especially since last year, I did actually attempt to make a few New Year's Resolutions, which included:


1. running in a 5k
2. working out
3. Spending more time with the hubby by going on vacations (trip to Greece was planned for August)
4. Going to church more
5. Being more frugal with my money
6. Make more homemade meals instead of eating out so much

Well, I nearly failed all of them since I found out I was pregnant in Januaury!!!! lol...

Between the puking and sleeping, I had no energy to work out, run any 5k, or go to church or anywhere for that matter! You could forget about Greece. Nobody wants to see a big belly in a swimsuit! lol...and saving money when I'm about to have a baby-yeah right! Now, I guess I could have made more homemade meals... if I wasn't gagging on the smells of the different ingridents.

So it proved my point. I would just fail if I made any New Year's Resolution. So although I have many goals and I look forward to so many great things in 2011, I will not tell you what they are (in fear they will not come true) :)
Just know, with having a brand new baby at home, 2011 will be the greatest year by far. I can't wait to witness so many "first" attempts from my baby girl. :)

Baby's First Christmas

Clarissa's first Christmas was filled love and attention from family members. Although she won't remember it, I can say this Christmas has been by far the best for me. I absolutely love being her mom. Holidays have a whole new purpose and I am so excited to go all out for every holiday just to see her smile. :)
