Thankful Tuesday's

I know it's been several weeks since I posted for Thankful Tuesdays, but I wanted to make a fresh start for 2008!!

Today I am thankful that my toddler has gymnastics and dance classes. I know it sounds silly, but it's something that she really enjoys and the only activity that she has solely to herself. Otherwise, she's touted here and there for mostly my activities! And while I have to wait an hour and half for her classes, I know she's learning a great deal and gets wonderful interaction with other girls her age. Whether she continues in the coming years only time will tell, but at least she's getting the experience now...something that I never had!!

If you haven't commented in a while, please be sure to share with us something simple that you're thankful for!!

Get Organized in 2008

Over the next couple of weeks I will be listing my goals and plans for various areas of my life in 2008. I am expecting a baby girl in March so planning ahead is a must. From the books I want to read to the meals I will freeze in anticipation of having a newborn, I will try to post what I want to accomplish. I figure, this will help me stay “on task” and hold myself accountable to stick with it. Give it a try and see if you aren't more productive this year! As the saying goes, "fail to plan and plan to fail" or more positively put..."part of success is preparation on purpose."
