Good morning! Happy New Year!! Hope you all are recovering nicely! Here are my resolutions for this fabby new year!

1. Get gussied up more. This year I would like to be better at making plans to go out with the hubby and don my best dress. Plus, my sparkle. Obviously.

2. Drink more water. Like Natalie, I need to get healthy for the big day. I have found several water recipes like this one or this one via Pinterest that I am dying to try. Simple solutions are usually the soundest, right?

3. Listen better. I have lots on my mind lately and sometimes I get a little sidetracked when I am chatting with loved ones. I need to put down the to do list and really listen. They mean the world to me and they deserve my undivided attention.

4. Be in the moment. I don’t know about you, but when you are this age (21 and a half) you start feeling like there is this giant race called life and sometimes I start feeling like I’m losing. Obviously, this is not the case. I need to enjoy where I am right now. Cause it’s pretty great.

5. Make the bed everyday. Ok, confession time. I don’t always make the bed. But there is just something so sweet about getting into a made bed. I’m sure all of you know this and already do it. Ugh, I’ll try!!

6. Take a trip. This needs to happen and STAT. While we lived in Richmond, every time we got some time off, we went to see family because that was important to us. Now that we live closer, I see a vacation in our future!

7. Eat more veggies. Gotta throw this one in there. Big wedding and all. But seriously, I am horrible at this and need to be better.

8. Keep writing. This year marked a great for me in terms of documenting more and writing to loved ones. I want to keep that going in the new year!

9. Laugh more. Anyone who knows me AT ALL knows that I tend to be a bit of a worry wart. Just a touch. Sometimes I just need to laugh it off. Slough off the little things. In the grand scheme of things, who cares if that one little task gets done just a touch after you’d like it to?

10. Finish off the basement. We were fortunate to buy a house that was for the most part exactly how we want it. This year, we would like to finish off the basement and get it to be the best hangout spot this side of the Mississippi! Who wants to help?!

Cheers to 2014!
Erin

Natalie’s New Year’s Resolutions

new year, new years eve, resolution

Happy New Year’s Eve! It’s almost 2014… So crazy! Gosh, how time flies.

2013 has been wonderful but I think 2014 is going to be pretty dang fabulous… I do have a graduation, wedding, and honeymoon to look forward to, after all!

Nat's NYE resolutions

Here are my top 10 resolutions for the new year (in no particular order)…

1. Drink more water. Good thing Santa brought Erin and I these super cute BKR bottles! I think they will look terribly chic with any outfit.

2. Patience. Patience, patience, and more patience! This virtue has never been my strong suit. Those dang people in the dang line at the dang supermarket just really slow down my Saturday mornings! Hi, I have a problem. Also, that sausage that needs to be cooled? Yes, Natalie, let it cool. Stop. Breathe. Let the sausage cool. Your eggs in the breakfast casserole will curdle if you don’t.

*Sorry for the dialog. I’m trying to talk my 2013 Natalie into my soon-to-be totally awesome 2014 Natalie.

3. More recipes! More gluten-free recipes, to be exact. I think I’ll have some free time on my hands this semester so hopefully I can whip up some tasty treats like these!

4. Exercise. Yup, gotta include the most cliché new years resolution ever. But seriously though, I’ve got kiiiiind of an important dress to fit into in 5 months and ummm…. holy crap I have to fit into a wedding dress in 5 months. Hello, exercise bike/elliptical! Let’s become best friends.

5. Play with Wilson more. Gah it’s hard to turn down these puppy dog eyes but some nights when he hands you the squeaky tennis ball for the 56,784th time you just have to throw it and hope it rolls under the washing machine. In 2014, I need to appreciate that 56,785th time he hands me the ball. He deserves all the love and snuggles and games of fetch he wants. No, Wilson isn’t spoiled… why do you ask?

6. Blog more! I love love love blogging but sometimes it gets to be a bit time consuming. True story. I need to be more efficient with my time, open up my creativity, and not start a post and then get lost on Pinterest for 5 hours minutes. Ahem. Moving on.

7. Send more snail mail. I’m starting to amass quite a collection of stationery and it’s just sitting there waiting to be penned and sent to a friend. The shame! Also, snail mail gives you the chance to use Le pens and washi tape. Win win.

8. Read more. I’ve got this and this on my reading list. Need to get to them ASAP!

9. Be kind. I always love those stories of people buying the coffee for the person behind them or watching someone hold the door open for 5 minutes to let everyone pass before them. Kindness! It’s a beautiful thing.

10. Love. Love myself. Love others. Every minute of every day.

Happy New Year’s Eve, friends! I’ve enjoyed every minute of 2013 with you. Let’s make 2014 just grand, shall we?

Natalie

P.S.- Come back tomorrow to read about Erin’s 2014 resolutions!
