New Year - New Goals

As you can probably tell, I have let my blogging get away from me. It is not that I don't enjoying doing it, rather I haven't made myself take the time. I really try to limit the amount of time that I am using the electronics in our house for two reasons 1) because I want Stella to play with the other toys that she has and 2) I want it to be a treat for her so basically I use then when I need/want to get something else done. So how does this have to do with me blogging you ask? Well Miss Stella has an overwhelming to desire to play with the I-pad when it is out, so I don't really get to use it anyway. Next question... Then why have you not blogged after she has gone to bed? Well that one is easy, I have been lazy and tired ;-)

So as I was thinking about New Year's goals, getting back into blogging was one of the activities top on my list. I decided that I would set a small goal for myself and at least participate in the 10 on 10 activity that some of the other blogs that I follow do. I have always really liked the idea, just never done it. And from there I would keep up with my blog more often ;-)

So my first 10 on 10 of 2012

10 pictures on the 10th day of every month

(Document a snapshot and find the beauty of your every day life)

I decided that at least for the next few months I would take a picture of my ever growing belly. I swear that I am as big now at 22 weeks pregnant that I was when I gave birth to Stella. I can only imagine what these next 18 weeks will bring.

Next, I want to take a picture of Stella each month because I can not believe how much she is growing and changing all the time. I had to brib her to stand still long enough to take this picture with a gummy bear.

One of my other goals was to drink more water. I have been having a lot of headaches with this pregnancy and Brian is convinced it is because I don't drink enough water. So to help myself with this cool I change my water to sugar-free grape kool-aid. Not as cool as changing water to wine, but it works for me.

This chap stick is AMAZING. I got it from Target for a couple of dollars and it is my new addiction. I guess it could be worse.

It is only the second day back to school and my front table already looks like this :-(

Oh potty training... I swear we have been working on this FOREVER. She is really good about going when we make her sit down, but she still is not telling us when she needs to go on a consistent basis.

The weather has been so nice lately that we went to play at the play land today. I figured before things start to get crazy at work and I need to stay a little later, we should enjoy this nice weather and day light while we can.

After we played we had to pick up Zarady from Doggy Day Care.  Z has been going to day care once or twice a week for a few years.  I, personally, think that it is a bit excessive but it does keep her in good shape and she really does enjoy going.

The last of the Christmas presents arrived today.  Stella got so many babies and other fun things that we had to ship some of our things back.  Now to put them away, throw away the boxes, and hopefully our house will all be put back together.

So there you go, my first of hopefully many blogs for 2012.
