Happy 2013! I am so excited for this year. We got off to a bit of a rough start, both Russ and I came down with the flu last week and now it appears Lucy has caught it. Nevertheless, I am optimistic that this is going to be great year. Spending extra time with my family is at the very top of my to do list and I am dedicating this year to making memories.
The pictures above are just a few of the things I have been up to lately. I have been working hard around the house; knitting, playing, cooking, baking, playing, cleaning, organizing, playing, and trying to gather things to get rid of. Another major goal of mine this year is to simplify and reduce. I tend to be a bit of a vintage hoarder, but so much stuff goes unused and takes up space. Downsizing is in order, I’m ready for it.
I wish you all the happiest in the year ahead.

My four year old pointed to the first picture and said, “That looks yummy!” Cleaning is top of my list right now since my mom is coming to visit in a couple weeks. Nothing spurs me to clean like a visit from my mom!

Lovely pictures!
I’m trying to downsize too. I am always picking up vintage bits and have started to feel a little overwhelmed by all my belongings. I think a big clearout and donation to charity is in order for me! Good luck and happy new year!

Both of my parents got the flu over Christmas, booo to the flu! I’m sorry that Lucy’s sick too.
I downsized a ton of stuff a few years ago because I was doing the vintage-hoarding thing too, haha. It feels SO good to get rid of things!
