cool contest, whit! well, one of my resolutions for this year is to get my business up and running more smoothly! Of course, I want to be more busy in my makings, and get a lot more product made!
Great Contest! My resolution this year is to lose weight after I have baby #2 in May.
My resolution is to chill out more. I'm finishing my M.Ed and working on National Boards, so I really need to take time to chill.
Great contest! One of my resolutions is to find a better balance between being a wife, mom, and myself
Ooh fun! My new years resolution was to send a letter of apology to my sister's ex-boyfriend for holding a grudge against him. He did some truly horrible things to my family, but I'm really trying to forgive and forget (which is the real resolution). Now, I ABSOLUTELY have to send the email, because I spoke to him for the first time in 18 months at about 1205AM January 1 and to say I was rude and uncouth is being polite. Ugh. This is why I need to forgive and forget and apparently apologize and beg for forgiveness. :)
My resolution is to start a family in '10!
i have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. sleep is precious. but i have made it a priority to get up earlier than them, get in the shower and have just 5 minutes of "me time" before the day really begins :)
To love a certain someone very very well in the way that Christ has taught us to love...with patience, kindness, etc, etc, etc!
to read my Bible every day. and to have a baby. . .
What a neat print! I have two resolutions - most importantly, to journal at least 4 times a week and take time to listen and record what the Lord speaks to me. That is tough as a mom of two year old twin girls! Not so much the writing part as taking time to listen part. :) My other resolution is to make it to the gym at least once a week. I am all about achievable goals this year rather than aiming too high and feeling let down. :) My fingers are crossed - I just took down the fabric wall hangings in M & G's room to work on creating a cute, fun toddler/little girl decor!
My resolution this year is to remember birthdays and anniversaries. This is one thing I have yet to be able to do. I want to make everyones day special by sending a card instead of making a required phone call.
My resolution is to GIVE more.
Be more GIVING of my..
time.
efforts.
money.
friendships.
Faith.
creative spirit.
I think 2010 is going to be a year of GIVING.
:)
My resolution is to meal plan and cook more from scratch!
How fun are you?
One of my New Year Resolutions is to spend more time in the WORD.
I can't pass up a contest!
I have several new years resolutions this year, which i posted on my own blog, but the one I'll write here is to train for and participate in a 5k. I figure it will help me get in shape and prepare for my field work at the same time.
Oh how cute!
My New Years resolutions.
Be a better sister, friend and daughter, and read my Bible more.
Thank you for hosting!! Cant wait to see who wins
Yay!
My New Year's Resolution is to train and run a half marathon in an attempt to get into shape. I've been working out already, but I want this push to make me get my bum to the gym!
My resolution is really focusing on a word/intent. Which is the word GUSTO. I want to live with Gusto, not with apathy!
Fingers crossed. New Year's Resolution: find balance in my life.
Great gift to start your giveaways! I was looking through his stuff after that original post, he does nice work. my new years "goal" as i call it so for no injuries in 2010!! Seems weird, but I spent all of 2009 hurt from both my tailbone and sciatica. Somehow I managed to move across country while dealing with these, so I'm hoping to have a better year :]
To have another baby...but that was last years too :(
This is so cute, I would love one of my own! My 2010 resolution is to be pregnant by the end of the year!!
The one of the new years resolutions that I made is to lose weight. I know that all of us make this resolution, but I am doing it for different reasons...due to the fact that we are wanting to start a family and due to some other medical conditions I need to lose the weight to have a healthy pregnancy.
My New Year's Resolution-I don't have one. I just try to improve as the year goes on instead of breaking my resolutions quickly and being disappointed.
Love this contest! I have set a couple new years resolutions this year and 2 of them are: Cook more and only go out to dinner once a week...I created a food blog to help me cook more ordinaryfoodfromordinarypeople(@)blogspot(.)com
And my second one it to do better in school and pay attention...I am paying for the classes!
I only have one resolution this year and that was to not have any resolution that I absolutely could not keep. By not making a resolution then I won't be disappointed when I blow it.
To be the best wife I can be.. when I become one in May! :)
To get pregnant this year...and to save for a new car.
My resolution for 2010 is to be a better wife and mother and have more patience. And to lose the baby weight (and more!) after my 2nd is born in June!
simplify and declutter all aspects of my life.
{jon is one talented artist! love the canvas!}
Lose weight and be more proactive in achieving the goals I have for myself instead of sitting on the sidelines!
One of my goals for 2010 is to finish decorating our house. I need to find the right art and put the time into it!
I have a thing against "resolutions", but I do reevaluate my life and changes I need to make to improve it ... one that my husband and I are working on together is being more positive! So I suppose that's a resolution, I just call it otherwise so I'm more likely to stick to it :)
So cute! One of my resolutions this year is to finish furnishing & decorating our house. We bought the house a year and a half ago and there are still too many empty walls!
same resolution, different year... to get in shape. No baby to blame it on this year!
One of my resolutions for this year is to cook a lot more. My husband and I both work and go to school, so cooking every week isn't a priority, but I want it to be! I also am looking forward to cooking through The Pioneer Woman cookbook!
How exciting!
You know I'm not big on resolutions! But since I have to name one to win, it would be to be a better friend. Sometimes I get so caught up in other things that I leave my friendships in the dust.
OOOH, I hope I win! ;-)
Love the giveaway. Thanks for the chance! I ma trying not to sweat the small stuff.
I need to clean out and reorganize my closet. It's a mess!

Love this giveaway!!! My new years resolution is to open an etsy shop! Just need to get brave enough to do it.

Oh what fun! One of my "goals" is to treat my body healthy and exercise regularly!
~Elyse
My resolution this year is to be more save more money!
Oh, how very cool! One of my NY resolutions is to be more conscious about spending daily time with God.

XOXO
p.s. Plus, I should win since today's my birthday :-)
My resolution is to mentally and physically get myself in a better place after the loss of my son. It's been 8 months now, and I'm ready to try for a baby again, and I don't want to be a mess during the process.
My resolution is to work on cleaning my house better since it really has to be done!
This is amazing btw, I loved it!
I would like to learn to balance better. Meaning balance all the other stuff that might be considered resolutions this year: like creating a more efficient housekeeping routine, eating healthy and exercising each day, spending more quality time with my husband.
To finish working on our fixer upper house! Lots and lots of hard work, especially when there are two small kiddos in our house who will be "trying" to help ;)
Yay! This is so fun! Congrats on the 2 new sites--I am really looking forward to both of them. :-)
A new year's resolution? Stretch deeper in relationships. Over the last couple of years I've not put the amount of effort into friendships like I should.
Wow! You're going all out on this ch-ch-change!! I need to see how you manage all of your time. My new year's resolution is to be better at keeping up with laundry - including having it hung up and in drawers - NO MORE PILES! & to always keep an updated checkbook - NO MORE PILES OF RECEIPTS! And just an all around better person - momma, wife, daughter, sister, etc.
cool give-a-way! my new years resolution is to stop biting my finger nails, and defintely to be a better sister, daughter and friend.

Mine is/was to give up my awful habit, not only for myself, but for my family!! So far...I am doing great!!! =)
I want to send birthday/anniversary cards to everyone I love this year!
Great contest! One of my resolutions is to be more positive. Sometimes my default is to view a new or complicated situation as negative. I want to change this about myself.
My resolution is to stay more organized and therefore (hopefully) less stressed! Thanks for the fun!
One of my resolutions is to get caught up on my scrapbooking, I am a year and a half behind. Being pregnant and having a now 10 month old, put it on the back burner and I need to get back on it!!
woohoo!! giveaway!! :)
since i like to set 'goals' as opposed to 'resolutions'... my goals for this new year are to drink more water and get more sleep. it sounds easy enough, but i tend to let my schedule control me, instead of vice versa, so it might be more difficult for me than i think.
My resolution is to finish my book by May. I think I can do it. :)
Just one?!?...LOL
To get fit, cook one new meal a week, read a novel per month, drink more water, declutter...
Phew, I'm exhausted and I guess I better wait this one out till next year.
My new Years Resolution is to work harder at school, my spiritual life, and being a better GF, daughter, and sister. Thanks so much for the give away!
Love it!! One of mine is to be a better wife, sister, daughter, friend, daughter-in-law, etc. :) Thanks!
This year, I am going to love my husband more than I ever have before and allow others 'in' when I need help with life.
My resolution is to have patience with the boys in my house and to try and lose weight :) Great giveaway!
My new years resolution is to have a baby. Since I'm due in July, I think that one's pretty safe. Anything else I'm sure to break. LOL

I'm going to start working out again. Every morning before work! With the support of a friend!
Eat healthier, and get more organized. =)
That is a beautiful canvas! I resolved to try and learn to relax a little more!Happy New Year!
Lame, but I don't make resolutions for the new year. I have constant resolutions that go in and out. I really need to make a lifestyle change and keep my resolutions!
One of my cousins ordered a print from him already because she saw it on your blog. This year I want to eat out less and cook at home more!
To streamline my life. We have way too much stuff. I've been getting rid of something every day so far this year (: It feels so good.
I looooove the canvas!! My new years resolution is, suprise surprise...to lose weight =) Also with losing the weight is gaining self esteem. So I guess I have two resolutions =)I have a nearly 5 month old baby girl so I cant wait to lose the baby weight! I've convinced my husband that if I get to my HS weight then we'll go to vegas march 2011!!!!! yah! He really wants to go to a nascar race there, so this is more for him =) Motivation for me =)
Happy New Year!!!!!
My resolution this year is to find other crappy and unpretentious moms to hang out with. moms that are not going to judge me for my baby not having taken to my breasts, or not using cloth diapers because it is too time consuming to do that and make meals and clean and look presentable, or my baby not having organic clothes. I just want to find friends that can admit how hard it is. I resume to not judge or compare myself to all my hippie darling friends but to find other "crappy" moms!
love, sandy
Last year my resolution was to get pregnant in 2009. Since that still hasn't happened, I've decided my resolution for 2010 is to work on the things I can control in life.. getting healthier, improving my finances, and strengthening relationships.
To cook something new once a week and to cook healthier. I love reading your blogg everyday! Thanks for sharing! Alison
My new years resolution is to live more sustainably. I will be enlarging my garden this year and try to be more environmentally friendly.
What a great piece of art! I love it!
My resolution is to consciously recognize the blessings my Heavenly Father gives me on a daily basis. I tend to overlook the good, so this year I'm focusing on being grateful for even the small things!
I do not make resolutions because after four days I forget all about them. However one thing I do want to accomplish is to try to safe a bit, not a great amount but around 1000 on my own just to know that I can do it while at the same time trying to pay off as much as possible on my credit cards.
My resolution this year is to attend church much more often, and also to get fit!!!
:)
I am expecting my first baby (a boy!) in April this year. So my new years resoloution is to be the best mother I can be for my little boy and just continue to be happy and grateful for my husband, my soul mate who is my my side every day!
My new years resolution is to get my blog and my Etsy store up and running! Oh, and to be more organized too!! :-)
My New Years resolution is to keep my house better organized. Before my twins arrived, every closet and drawer was in great shape, but the past 6 months have proved difficult to keep them in order!
Ooohh, I love that canvas!
One of my resolutions was to cut myself a little slack. I tend to obsess of things that, in the grand scheme of things, aren't really that important. Because of that, I feel as though I miss out on opportunities to further cherish the age my children are at. Childhood passes so quickly and I don't want to miss any of theirs for the sake of an extra load of laundry.
To take just a little time for me. Even if it's coffee at 5am when I first get up and the entire house is still sleeping. Just a little refresh before the craziness of the day starts.
My resolution is not so much a resolution but the idea of living by a few words. The first: balance. To balance life with work, home with play, family with friends, chocolate with exercise - you see the trend. The second: patience. To be patient with work, home, friends, enemies, family, coworkers, vendors...
Making the resolution to focus on these words rather than on one or more goals is what will make 2010 better for me!
so awesome!
I have decided to try to live a more balanced life this year. More exercise, more quiet time with my Creator, a better wife, employee and friend.
I will run a 1/2 marathon in 2010!!
Hey! Ok, one of my many resolutions is for our family to start living by Dave Ramsey's principles! Great giveaway!
Oh man, I haven't "settled" on one. So, maybe either 1) Improve my career situation, or 2) Run a 5k around March 1st, and participate in the 10 mile run in May.
My resolution for 2010 is to stay positive in difficult situations and remind myself of all that I have been blessed with! Thanks for the giveaway!
I resolve to actually finish things on my to-do list quicker. Resulting in a clean house all the time.
Great giveaway! I resolve to get out of the house more. When not at work I spend way too much time inside cleaning and such, while missing out on everything else.
One of my new year's resolutions is to eat better not just to lose weight but for overall health.
Pay down Joey's dental school debt - more than the minimum we are required to pay each month. bluh, very boring, but responsible.
floss every day! and focus on the 'needs' not the 'wants'.
oh I hope I win! My resolution is to loose the baby weight finally! Its been two years and Im determined!
To be a better person and do more good deeds than the last year.
Great giveaway, Whitney! My resolutions are many, but a couple include being more organized, and making a more natural/chemical free home.
~Kathryn
First grandchild born on 12/30/09:) My resolution - be the best grandmother in the world - hey a resolution I KNOW I can keep:)

My resolution is to make sure I spend time in God's Word everyday!!
One of my resolutions is to be a better wifey to my hubby and a better mom to my son.
yay...gym consistantly
Find a better job.
I want to find that balance between my relationship as a Wife and as a servant for our Lord. In the midst of preperation for a baby and a house!!
My goal is to start cutting the fat in my life. If it doesn't bring me/my hubby/baby boy happiness, if it is not used on a regular basis, or if we have no sentimental attachment to it . . . it's GONE!!! Our life is more hectic these days. So, the less clutter the better!
My resolution is to make time for me! I often put myself aside, and there are a few things I need to take charge of, and this will be the year!
One of my resolutions is to run a 5K. No later than May!!! :) I'm excited!!!
I'm joining a gym.... for real this year!!!!
Of course, I'm going to try and get rid of this baby weight. I also want to be a better Christian, wife and Mommy.
I love this!

Happy 2010!
I like your ideas for new tabs. One of my resolutions is to read through the bible in a year.
Love your new site!
One of my resolutions is to find more balance in my life!
My resolution this year is to pick ONE special thing everyday of the year and pray about it seperately than all of the other daily prayers! Today it's for heat since the low tonight in Alabama is 16 degrees! :)
What a great giveaway!!!
One of my New Year Resolutions is to start going back to church on Weds nights for choir and Childrens choir. I used to go, but, for some reason, got out of the routine. So I am going to try hard to make it there on Weds with my little Boo Bear.
Weeelllll, I wasn't going to make one, until my husband announced that he wants to eat healthier. And since I'm the cook, that was meant to be a subliminal message....so I guess if I'm going to try to be more health-conscious for him, I may as well join the trend!
My New Year's resolution is to not make a New Year's resolution! Because I never keep them! :o) -Jamee
My resolution is to learn yoga. My first class is tonite!
To declutter my house. It's hard to let go of some things, even when I know that I will probably never use them again.
Just one? I can think of many!!! BUT, one of my biggest is to go to bed earlier! If I do that, the others will most likely fall into place!
To throw the word "perfect" out of my vocabulary...I am constantly trying to keep the perfectly clean house, be the perfect wife, mother, etc, with 3 kids 2 and under my new word will be content...to be happy to have a great family and not be so hard on myself
To be more patient - with my son, myself, and everybody else! I would also like to work on finding beauty in imperfection, realizing not everything always has to be perfect!
my resolution is to devote my entire life to my beautiful family. :)
this is sooo cool!
-jen
Adorable canvas print! One of my resolutions is to not get so uptight about our house not being in perfect order. Between having an infant, a husband that is deployed and going back to school full time, I just don't have the same amount of time to keep our house sparkling! Oh well....
I LOVE the canvas print of Levi! One of my New Year's Resolutions is to learn the ins and outs of the manual settings on my Canon DSLR. I have had it for over 2 years now...it's about time!!
The canvas print is awesome. One of my resolutions is to live in the moment more often. Housework can wait. Those dishes are not going anywhere. My daughter will not want me to read, play forever. :-)

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to be a better Mommy to Isaiah and wife to Jason...oh, and to lose weight! Ha! (but that is a given, especially after you've had a baby!)
Spend more time with my husband!
Resolution: To find the Joy in the Journey! Your blog will help inspire me, no doubt! I love your dancing while vacuuming, juggling while dusting....I need to turn the mundane & necessary into the joy in my days! I do it because I love them.....I am blessed to have them....and that's true JOY!
My resolution is to watch what I buy. I'm a sucker for advertising and cute, fun, bright bottles. The lastes and greatest shampoo... must have it! The bottle is too cute to pass up. I've got to stop! So I'm using coupons and watching what a buy!
Whoo hoo for a giveaway. After having a baby in July, I need to lose the baby weight, so I have signed up for a Mini-Marathon (13.1miles) and have started training for it... it's in May:)
To work on a healthier me. I have so much on my plate I never have time to take care of me I feel like. So I'm going to work on saying no and using that time to exercise, plan ahead, and get extra sleep. I feel like I should do this while I can!
