It's been awhile. . . again

Hello readers, I hope you are still there! I took a little break from the blog, life was more than a bit hectic and I had some personal things going on that left me little energy for anything. I hope to turn this blog into a regular thing again, I love blogging and I really have missed it. Now to catch you up! (well on the big things at least)

Cordelia has gotten A LOT bigger: 

 Three months

Four Months

 

Five Months

 

Six Months

 

Seven Months

She can crawl, eat mushy foods, sit up by herself, pull herself up to stand and says "mama" and "dada"! It's amazing, and the time has gone by so fast it's a blur. 

We attended two absolutely beautiful weddings. The first was for one of my old time friends and her prince charming. The wedding was at Bordeleau Winery, such a beautiful venue! The amazing photos below are  care of their photographer. It was Brendon and my first night away from Cordelia, but we had such a great time, and Ashley and Brandon are such fun people (as I'm sure you can see from the picture below! ).

The second wedding was for our mutual friends Tuan and Camila. I was honored to be in the wedding party. They had such beautiful weather and the people at their venue, Bretton Woods, were wonderful.  These beautiful photos were taken by an awesome photographer I know- check him out here. There will probably be a longer post about this wedding later :)

 We wore super cool shoes

Camila's Brother married them, it was very heartfelt

We played in the photo booth :)

We were able to rejoice in our third anniversary of this day:

We celebrated our first Halloween! As a Rainbow, a leprechaun, and a pot of gold. 

Well... those were the biggest things, I have a ton of other little things to catch you up with later, but for now I will leave you and go back to my horrible holiday to do list! Yikes 

New Years, a little late

I have been thinking about life a lot these days- being pregnant can do that to you! I never make New Years Resolutions, they often seem kinda silly, it's almost like people create goals that are meant to be broken and abandoned. However, I think that this year I need some resolutions- resolutions I will, and I need to keep.

1. Grocery shop- with a list! 

Ok I know this sounds silly, but my mother and my sister raised me to be very frugal when it comes to food- however I never followed their rules and guidelines once I moved out. I am terrible, I never use coupons, I go to the grocery store hungry, and I go without a list on a regular basis. My hubby and I are at the grocery store  almost four days a week- because of our horrible shopping habits we spend way too much money on food. We need to fix this, we have to get better at planning our meals, eating at home, grocery shopping, and bringing our lunches to work/school.

2. I will spend less time worrying about what I'm not getting done.

I over book my life, but really don't we all? I spend so much time beating myself up about the things I haven't gotten done, and the things I have left to do. It makes me miserable, and I am going to work on stopping, or at least cutting back!

3. Be more organized/ clean.

This is probably a super common resolution- but I have to add it to my list. I know I will spend less time cleaning, if I was better at having a place for everything and actually putting it there when I was done with it.

4. Start my Etsy.

I have been talking, and talking, and talking about starting an Etsy (or a website), and I'm going to stop putting it off, and stop giving myself reasons I can't do it.

5. Let myself be more creative.

Last, but not least- I will get out of my own way and let myself be more creative. I will stop giving myself reasons I can't accomplish/ make the things I want to. I will push myself more.  

Thank you for reading my resolutions, what are your resolutions for 2011?
