This Year I Will BE...... Printable!!!!! (You must see this one!)

All I can say is that I'm printing out a dozen of these to post around my house, car, etc.   I've got some BIG goals this year and I need POWER and Confidence to accomplish them.   When I look at this printable, I see words and ideas that will help me to complete my goals!   Not only are the words powerful, but it is beautiful and comes in 4 different colors!   Thank you House & Hone for creating this and sharing it with the world!

Declutter Your House

Another goal I have is to declutter my house!   I have so much "stuff" that it is overwhelming!  Anyone else out there like me?   This house from Beaux R'eves shows a great example of what cutting some clutter out of a room in your house can do for the appearance.  The first example isn't so bad, but the room rearranged and simplified is so beautiful.

My New Year Plan (and Announcement)

.

.

So this coming year, I have a few big goals!

.

1. Stay sane!

2. Gain less than 50 pounds!

3. Learn how to manage THREE kids, a job, a blog and a life!

.

Yes, my big announcement is that I am pregnant. I made one of those cool skeleton shirts with a fetus skeleton to tell some of my family and friends. It tooks some (my mom) two days of me wearing this shirt before she asked if I was pregnant. Others it took one or two minutes. It was fun to wear around even if it wasn't Halloween. I used the heat transfer material from Silhouette to make the shirt. I recommend the product!!! It worked great!

.

I am due June 30, but will probably get induced a few days prior to this. (Our insurance starts over on July 1 and we have already met our large deductible this year due to my knee surgery. I don't want to pay the deductible again!) We will find out the gender in February!

.

I have been great friends with the toilet for the past 2 1/2 months. I'm hoping that friendship will end soon or I am going to lose my mind. It is so hard not being able to open the fridge or cook for my family without puking!

Here is a close up of the shirt. I took it as I was wearing it so I realize the picture isn't that great. I should have taken it off!!!

.

With my three goals, things may be changing on this blog. I'm not sure what changes will be coming yet, but I know something has to change as the new baby comes!

.

Wish me luck in obtaining my goals!

What are your goals?
