This year, my resolution is to find a better balance. A happy mom makes a happy family and I just need to figure out how to fit in a little more time to do the things that make me happy. Working and being a mom takes up almost every second... I need to figure out how to find some time for myself ... a yoga class, curling up with a new issue of Bon Appetite and a good cup of coffee, finding the time to have a good chat with one of my girlfriends without "girlfriend" chirping up in the background, having a night where I get to actually TALK to my husband about things that matter ...
This year, I really want to be a better mom, a better friend and a better wife.
*Addendum: It appears that I have already failed in the resolution department. I have just been reminded that I did not mention our annual trip to Carmel. Luckily, Grammy & Grandpa offered to babysit so that Chris and I could have an actual "vacation!" It really was wonderful. I love the drive up north and we always cut through to the coast on some obscure little road that takes us right through Steinbeck country. For a beach girl, I am always surprised how much I love to see the rolling hills, old trees and wide open spaces.
And since we are chronicling our every moment over the holidays, I also wanted to thank Papa, Gigi, Auntie Jen, Uncle Chris and Baby Chloe for taking care of Ashley when she was super sick and Chris and I escaped next door for a "Boxing Day" party. Poor things all got sick as a result - we are so sorry!
