Rapunzel....


Sela and I had an afternoon of crafting on Sunday. We were making things out of packing peanuts. We had a little piece and some yarn left... and a big piece of paper... so Sela said, "let's turn it into Rapunzel!"

Here is what we came up with. Sela drew most of it by herself. I added the tree, and some flowers. She asked me to write the words in the first quotation... the second quotation says, "Rapunzel, I'm coming!" Love my creative girl!!

Here are some of our packing peanut crafts....

A new year and a chance to start new goals!

What will 2011 bring?

What a wild ride 2010 was. I felt frantically busy thrugh most of it, and didn't care much for the pace.

This year I have some things I am going to commit to doing for myself:

Reconnect with friends - last year I wasn't much of a friend - between being a mom, keeping the nonprofit moving forward I let "me" fall by the wayside some.

Run. I miss my running... I miss the awesome ideas that would pop into my head when I was in the middle of a run.

Unplug more often. I am going to make more days be unplugged days. Emails can wait a bit.

Celebrate my kids more. Man - I have some great kiddos - I want to slow down and laugh more often with them.

Blog. I love to look back on my blog and remember moments that I blogged about. Especially family moments... my fav.

Cook from Scratch - we are trying to ditch all the food wrapped in plastic.... that means lots of meals from scratch.... yummy... but also requires some planning on my part.

Mark and I want to be in the best physical shape we can for his 50th b-day. My goal is to look like his MUCH younger wife - haha! :)

What will 2011 bring for you?
