Happy New Year 2012!

Where has the time gone? Wow, I just realized that I blogged 2 times in 2011! Crazy, huh. I have to say that I am very excited that 2011 is now behind us and we are looking forward to great things from 2012!

I try not to make resolutions but I am thinking this year my resoultions will be quite simple. One is that I am going to make sure that we plan more 'family time' activities this year. As I look at my children and realize that my oldest will be a graduating senior next year I want to make sure that we spend a lot of quality time together as a family. I already know that this year will be spent visiting colleges in the state and the neighboring states.

My second resolution will be to get back to my couponing! While I have never stopped couponing, my savings have not been as good as they could be, so I'm making a plan to get back to what I really enjoy!

Last year I did a word of the year and I have to admit, that while I didn't blog about it, I do think I kept up with my word of the year. I had to believe that things will get better and I do think that God is there for me and my family. My word this year is 'Hope'. I have hope for a future, hope for some positive change, hope for good things.

May you find that God blesses you in 2012!

One Little Word............Believe!

While visiting an online friend's blog I was intrigued by her post about the power of one little word. A single word is powerful. As a teacher I know that it can be something that motivates or destroys. It can create love or hate. A single word can bring a person up or bring them down. It's powerful!

So the first thing I did was head over to Ali's blog and read about this mission.

So when reading Jamie's blog about her word I couldn't help but get inspired to create my own word. And to be honest, it wasn't hard.

As I pondered what word could be something to reflect on all year I kept coming to 'Believe'. As 2009 and 2010 have been a struggle economically within our nation and close to home, I find that I am beginning to have a renewed since of the power of believing in myself. As I sit in church and reflect on the sermons and thru the friendships of those around me, it became crystal clear that 'Believe' would be my word!

I'm excited to take on this new challenge! Welcome 2011!
