San Antonio Botanical Gardens

For our anniversary Jeff and I went down to San Antonio. While there we checked out the Botanical Gardens. Nadia wanted me to take pictures of purple roses. Unfortunately, they didn't have any, but I took pictures of other roses instead. The pictures of ducks were for Maes.

New Year's Goals

I'm back here again. I decided to revive this blog. Out other blog is still going to be our family blog, where I post pictures of the kids, and updates about what's happening in our life (when I bother to get around to it). This blog will be used for my random musings, and just a place where I can get my thoughts written down. Please feel free to completely ignore this blog.

So my goals:

Declutter, declutter, declutter. I've already started with the children's toys. I just need to move the decluttering to the other areas of our house.

Post more often on my various blogs. (Three currently.)

Keep things neat and orderly. (Hopefully the decluttering goal will help with this.)

Be more discriminating in the things that I "craft". I need to stop doing things on a whim. If I'm going to take the time to make something, it should be something that will be useful in some way. Not something that's just going to get put away somewhere and never looked at again. (Home decor counts as useful as long as it is something I'm actually going up.)

Try to use supplies I already have first. That doesn't mean make something just because I have the materials for it. However, if I have a project planned, I will go "shopping" in my stash of supplies before I hit a store.

Keep track of what I spend on crafting supplies.

Go to the Temple more.

Do more fun things with the kids. Let them craft, or take them somewhere fun. Just spend more time with them.

I'm sure I'll figure out more goals as the year goes on, but for now this is it.
