Way back when I went on about these things called "resolutions".  Apparently in the beginning of 2012 I was still living in denial of my lack of follow through with resolutions.  Lets review how they worked out, shall we?

1. Blogging at least once a week: I don't really count the last post I made in August as a real post, but rather a much overdue explanation of my random deafness, so my last real post was in May of 2012.  On that same day in May, I (ironically) posted a long winded rant about how I needed to get my shit together.  One would think I would follow up with getting my shit together.  Not so much.
2. Take pictures, lots and lots of pictures:So this is really one I should have focused more on.  I will say I did manage to get the camera out here and there over the past year, but not nearly as much as I should.  A3's life is super well documented for just about the first year, then there is a quick drop-off.  Though I can't feel too bad about it; we do have an f-ton of iPhone pictures which I guess is better than nothing.
3. Lose weight/Get Healthy:I didn't do too shabby on this one actually.  I didn't get my shit together in enough time to lose all of the weight before getting pregnant with number two, but I did end up coming down about 20 pounds before the pregnancy.  Is it what I wanted?  No.  Is it ideal?  No.  But it is better than nothing.  The bonus here is that I started a really good workout routine and weight loss coaching at Lady Fitness.  Seriously, if you live in the area and are looking for a low key place to work out in a super supporting environment, give Debbie a call and get in there.   Anyway, with Debbie's help, I was getting on track.  I also quit smoking, like quit quit.  Quit as in I gave it up BEFORE I got pregnant type quit.  Might not seem like that big of a deal to distinguish the two, but it is much different to quit because I wanted to versus quitting because I had to.  So overall, I wouldn't call this one a resolution fail.
4. Get to Crafting:
   Not a total fail here.  I did finish the redo of Ari's baby blanket and started building the granny squares for my granny square blanket.  I do somewhat hate them right now though, so I may be restarting.  
5. Get Organized:
   Well I can safely say that I actually accomplished this one.  You should see my awesome binders in all their glory.  I even already made one for Penners (more about her in a later post).

So right.  Let me go back to my original idea that resolutions are for suckers.  My plan right now is to catch you kids up on the last 13 months (a lot has happened) and hopefully get in the routine to keep this going on, well, a routine basis.  We'll see.
