goals....

* to blog once a day (this is just for January, I know Kemosabe Confucius Godzilla Jones once said "he who bites off more than he can chew, chokes and throws up curdled milk." or so I heard)

* to eat healthier, meaning more fiber and less carbs. for me.

*to work out more. whether it's doing laundry to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" or actually really exercising, it's moving, and I'm doin it.

*to write a short story. or at least give an outlet to my active imagination.

*continue taking pictures, because it's important to me

and laugh. always.


because I think a good dose of the world needs to remember this right now.

"Mothering without being smothered means we limit what we are willing to do for our children. It is not in a child's best interests to have a mature, capable adult at his beck and call twenty-four hours a day, waiting to feed him his favorite foods, then clean up his messes, entertain him when he's bored and pacify him when he's cranky. We're mothers, not handmaidens to royalty."

~Annie Chapman
