Another January 1st

Well, it's been 3 years since I've visited this blog. What better day than...today?!

 So, resolutions and such. I don't have them, they never last and then I berated myself when I act human and mess up. No thanks! I'm more of a believer in a motto or a mantra. 2015 is the year of: "Move more, drink less"... or maybe more appropriately, "Grow up"?

 I have had a full 8 months. In May 2014, I quit my dang old desk job and took on "Homemaker", It's been the dream of my life. Looking back I really did accomplish a lot of things that I said I would. I grew a garden in the summer. It was so rewarding eating tomatoes, carrots, radishes, lettuce and potatoes that I nurtured and grew! I also made some homemade body butter, deodorant, mastered making bread from scratch and knit quite a few Christmas gifts. Ooohhh and I cleaned out my walk in closet... please believe me when I tell you this was the achievement of the year. Like, I deserve an award or even a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will do.

 This year, along with my mantra, I plan on making homemade soap. I almost have all my supplies and I'm talking myself in to not being afraid of playing with Lye. :/ I'll keep you posted on that one. Lastly, I'd like to finish a few purging projects in my house. Isn't it amazing everything we accumulate over time? Now that I'm 32 and decided (to pretend) to be a grown up, I want less "stuff". Unless we are talking about lipstick... never enough lipstick.

 So, what's your 2015 mantra? Whatever you decide, good luck and Happy New Year!
