Happy New Year 2013

I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Day with family and friends, or at least doing what you love. So far, it's been a great year for us. Okay, so it's only been a half a day in or so, but still. It's a nice thing to say, and I hope to continue the sentiment long into the year. I'm determined this is 'my' year. It's the year of the snake, and since I'm a September babe, that's me!

I don't typically make resolutions. I think about making them, then either feel too much pressure to complete them or a failure for not. So, no resolutions this year. But, what I will do this year is try and relax. I don't mean that I'll quit my job or stop cleaning the house or let the kiddo eat candy for breakfast. What I do mean is that I will try to pay attention to what really matters and enjoy those things over all else. I feel like if I can remember that rule, the other things I want to accomplish fall into place a little easier too.

New Year's Eve

Well, it's the end of another year. It seems that on New Year's Eve I always think how quickly the year flew by. It really did, though. Most times, I reflect. This time, I'm just looking forward. I think this coming year will be one of many changes for us, hopefully all good. For this last lunch of the year, I'm using our oldest bento box. It is the first box that I bought and used for this fun food adventure with my daughter. The one thing I will reflect on for this year is that I'm grateful to have met so many other fantastic people on the adventure with me! Happy New Year!

Starting Out

Happy New Year!

In the past year, I have seen so many fantastic blogs about crafts, homeschooling, creative lunches, delicious recipes, and so much more. Each of them inspired me in different ways and now I'm finally ready to give it a try myself, to not only document my own fun (and failures), but also in the hope that I too can give inspiration and share ideas with someone new.

Look forward to my posts being mainly about bento style lunches and snacks, toddler activities and projects, recipe successes and failures, and a little bit of random craziness for good measure.
