January
I started off the year with a sick love affair with toilet paper rolls:
February
Had beautiful baby boy, which led to a near brush with death.

November
Had pictures taken in my wedding dress eight years after the wedding, which required letting it Ouuuuuuuutttttt and adding a corset back!
December
And turned highly flammable boxes into a faux-fireplace!
Whew! What a year. I did a lot of "stuff" and in the process I feel like I trimmed a lot of excess from our lives. Not everything, but a vast improvement from before. In the upcoming year I would like to continue this purging process.
I like to set goals for myself for the new year to keep me accountable. So for 2012, one of my goals would be having everything have a place and to be so well organized I can function without wanting to cry. LOL.
I also want to train my children to be the same way. Which as anyone with children with too many "things" knows, is bound to be my biggest challenge!
I'd like to end this year by saying this: From time to time I will share with you things that may make you think I'm a liar when I call this blog 365 days to simplicity. But I want to reiterate that 365 days to simplicity is not about easy glue projects, or simple recipes that require very little effort. It's about taking the time to do something, whether it be difficult or easy, to attain the ultimate goal of simplicity. It's not so much about the process as it is the end result.
Here's to a happy and healthy new year!!
You are an inspiration and just down right interesting to follow.
