Successful People

"The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don't like to do.
They don't like doing them either necessarily.  But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose."   E.M. Gray

New Year's resolution: Not to make any personal goals.

I'm kind of in this weird place in my life.  Kori will be turning 8 months in two days and is still my dream baby, even with crawling and standing up on things (usually my leg).  I'm someone who loves to always be improving or working towards something, but I can't make a commitment to save my life.  I get through each week and run the household the best I can, but I can't take on anything else.  I know it is only a phase in my life that will go by quickly, it just feels weird.  Four kids is busy!  A good busy, but busy.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I truly enjoy being a mother and being a woman, but I know my limits... so this year my personal goal is not to make any personal goals- weird right?!

To all my mothers...

"Mothers who know do less...They are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children-- more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying.  These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all."  Julie B. Beck

Happy New Year!

Here are our family pics taken by my talented friend, Sara Featherstone of course.  And no, I did not forget to send you a Christmas card, this was our 5th year in a row not sending one out... sad!!  I seriously love getting them from everyone, here is to next year!
