Wordless Wednesday - Big Brother Did My Hair!

Organizing Baby's Closet w/ Free Printables!

With only 12 weeks to go I have started to organize the baby room 

and make room for a little brother in there. One of the main areas 

that needs work is the closet. Baby Lu has been spoiled with space

and is going to have to give up half of her closet.

I ran across these great printables at The Posh Little Baby Blog and can't wait to get them hung up!

They can also be used on all of the storage bins I have in the garage, so smart!

I have several projects to complete including his crib skirt, mobile,

and lots of painting...stay tuned!

Time to share...how do you keep your kids' closets organized?

Happy New Year!

Four days into the year and I am still having a hard time wrapping my mind around this whole 2012 thing, where does the time go?!

The start of a new year means a fresh start, new calendar, and the opportunity to set some goals for the coming year.

What is the difference between a goal and a resolution?

Resolution: a resolve or determination:  

to make a firm resolution to do something.

Goal: the result or achievement toward

  which effort is directed; aim; end.

My goals for the year are to be better with my time management, cherish the moments I have with my family, take steps to grow closer to my gracious God each day, and make my home a place where everyone who enters feels safe and welcome. 

It may have been a mistake posting this. I have read that you have to be careful stating your resolutions or goals, because after spoken there is a part of you that already feels like they accomplished it. I found an interesting video of Derek Sivers speaking on the topic on Ted.com. 

I think that I will post a reminder to myself of what I want to achieve this year and what steps I need to do to continue to work on it daily. Looks like some colorful post it notes are in order!

Time to share...will you be sharing your goals for the year, and if so, what are they?
