New Year Resolutions

Ok it's nearly time for New Year Resolutions.

I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by.

It has been a year of allsorts and ups and downs.

I haven't managed to do this blog this year.

And so my New Years Resolution will be to really try and get to it more.

I am wanting to create for my family, a simple life.

To live more simply is something I yearn for and dream of.

Starting in 2011, I want to stop dreaming of it,

and start to live it more so than we are now.

I shall turn off that TV and stop reading magazines that make me WANT things.

I want to get out in the garden more, cook from scratch more, preserve my own produce. Sew and mend our clothes and the list goes on.

This year I had so much pleasure in making gifts for friends and relatives. I made cakes, buiscuts, chutneys, jams, and made a table top cubby house for my neices.

Finding creative ways of packaging, and presenting these items was half the fun.

It gave such a sense of pride and great pleasure to give something that I had made with love for those that I love.

So I want to continue this way as much as possible and teach my children to do the same.

What are your New Years Resolutions this year?
