Here we go 2012!

Well howdy 2012! Boy, did you sneak up on me!

Now that the craziness of the Fall has come and gone, I'm finally able to sit down at a computer for more than just a few seconds...now, a few minutes!

To welcome 2012, I only set a few goals for myself and my family:

1. Get healthy and back in shape! Thanks to an awesome jogging stroller from Santa, this might not be so difficult! Diet is a dirty word to me so instead of heading down the path purely for weight loss, I've decided to just get healthy, make better decisions and exercise more. Shouldn't be too painful, right!

2. Continue to breastfeed little Lily until her first birthday. I know how controversial the breastfeeding vs. formula debate can be, but this seems to be working for us.  As hard as it is sometimes, I do enjoy the bonding and I have a fabulous husband that supports me! Lily is going to be 8 months next week (WOW!), so only 4 more months to go!

3. More "date" nights! Chris and I are so in love with our little one and leaving her is never easy...but we haven't gone out just the two of us in such a long time! So, our goal is to have "date" nights once a month! Calling all babysitters!

4. Promote the heck out of Bliss Events by Rachel! Bliss Events by Rachel is my boutique special events firm in South Louisiana specializing in blissfully wonderful weddings and social soirees! Follow my blog and "like" me on Facebook! =)

5. Create an organized and "Pinterst" perfect home! I've decided to follow The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking's 31 Days to an Organized Home. But I'm going to give it a little "twist". I not only want to get organized...I want to get "pinterest" perfect! What is "pinterest" perfect? Glad you asked! I love getting inspiration from Pinterest for projects, meals, events and home decor. I want to put my creativity to the test and create a space that inspires others...and makes everyone in the Henry family just generally happy! I'm not silly enough to think this will only take 31 days....clearly it will take a lot longer than that...but it will be my guide!

And, of course, my goal is to blog more than just once a season! Hope you all had a fabulous start to 2012!
