before 2012

I was surprised the other day going through some old papers.

I had found all of Adriana's baby shower cards- 

 five years old.

 I know I say it all the time but it wasn't until this very moment

 that I really realized, "holy crap, where is the time going?"

it sank in-

 This year just started and it's nearly over.

I have a five year old in kindergarten

 and a soon to be four year old-

 whom I swear was born just yesterday.
Not to mention turning a year older, gasp 25 in 2012?  sigh.

I'm a senior in college, with only one more year to go in my new major,

 so many goals I have set for myself (that's a whole other list!)

 But there is still so much that I want to do.

 there are things I haven't done

things I haven't even been able to do this year.

Well that's changed- I've made a list, a short list at that. 

 I shall add to it here as time goes on

 or as new things are accomplished but were never written.

 I encourage you to do one too and share-

I insist!

• paint more, a lot more.
• take the kids to a movie.
• play at the park as much as time allows!

discover your inner elf

this is one of my all time favorite movies-

 it stays out all year long and the kids love it.

 zooey deschanel makes my heart happy.

 and will ferrell makes me laugh so incredibly hard. 

so its a merriment if you haven't seen it, already.

these crafts are easy and fun to do

 you can include the kids too!

 some of these are for table decoration

 but I think they fit in anywhere around the house! 

here is the site & instructions.

if you do one, share! I'd love to see.

 have fun!
