Happy New Years

I'm having an accomplished day. It's a good feeling for the start of a new year.

I finally put the design I had for a cloth diaper into works. It's an idea I had rolling around for over a year, but never really had that extra drive to do anything with it. Finally I decided to do it. I made the diaper. I tweaked the diaper. I am pleased with the diaper. So I found a dozen people with babies to test this diaper for me. I gave myself (and told them) that I would have the diapers out to them the first week of January. Here it is January 1 and I have all the packages ready to go and I'm heading out tomorrow to deliver all of the local ones. I'm excited and anxious to find out what others think of it. The hard part is going to be waiting a month for all the feedback to come back. But they are done and I feel like even if they don't like the diaper as much as I do that I have achieved something in putting it this far.

Tonight I finally took down my organization board and updated it for the first time since Halloween week. Yeah I'm ashamed. It's been a long time without a meal plan and without a real plan to the week. I do still have my planner which I would be completely lost without, but without the board I'm a bit fuzzy on things - especially where home is concerned. The Husband and I sat down and picked 3 new dishes to try for dinners this week which also translates to new Tofu Tuesdays in the coming weeks. Everything is falling into place.

I've not really made any resolutions for this coming year as I find I never really keep to them. There are a few things that I hope to focus on this year though.

Declutter/Simplify
Organize that which we do not part with
Start taking better care of myself and be healthier
Work out a formal budget for the family

We'll see how it goes.

I wish you all a very happy and healthy new year!

And just a heads up. I'm quickly approaching my 500th post and to celebrate I'll be having a little giveaway. Make sure you keep a look out. It should be happening next week!
