I started this goal because I had a digital camera that I had bought years ago when they were just starting to come out. It was top of the line then and big and chunky but as it got older the battery charge did not hold and I just stop trying to take it with me. I kick myself because I missed so many events with not having it with me. I saved some money up and treated myself to a new camera. It is in my purse at all times and goes with me everywhere. Now I have it if the kids and I go to the park or just hanging out around the house. Just need to keep the habit going.

How I did it: I had never gotten a tattoo because I could not fidure out what I wanted on my body. I was driving home one night and was listening to music and then it hit me. Get some music notes behind my ear. I hadn't known of anyone that had done it and it seemed perfect for me. I knew what I wanted - I had a picture in my head. The artist sat down with me sketched it out. I had already known were I was going. The business had done friends ta… Read how I did it…
I knew this would not be an easy task – I have a storage unit I need to go through as well. But I have cleaned out my closets and have clothes either given away, put aside to sell at a yard sale or keep. Now I just need to go through bags of papers. I had this idea that I would keep some school papers of my kids and place them in scrapbooks for each of them and me – but I am not organized enough. I have papers from many years of school and I was not smart enough to write dates and who did it on the back. I also need to get rid of magazine I bought for ideas. I have torn out pages of craft ideas and recipes and placed in binders for keeping…just need to cut my losses and put the magazines or books in donation bins or recycle them. I will not have the time to wade through all of the magazines I still need to go through. I need to be better organized and stay on top of it.
My girls are older now and we actually enjoy road trips…so I am hoping for some good trips this upcoming year…I promised the daughter each a trip for their 13th Bday and one turns the big 1-3 this year so we are off to New York in the fall!
