Mini-Van Mom: December 2016
http://mini-van-mom.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Rambles about my attempts to herd cats, make a house into a home, craft, and find the joy in everyday things. Friday, December 30, 2016. I didn't accomplish all of my resolutions this year, but I accomplished many of them! I'm so proud of everything that I did, and tried to do this year. Like most resolutions, I didn't keep all of them. I had roadblocks tossed in my way. You know what? That's okay. Life happens, things don't go the way we plan, and we adapt! It's what happens in life! 2) Improve My Health.

He lives with friends of ours, and we spent New Year's Eve with them. He's a Beagle crossed with something. Isn't he totally adorable? He spent the evening snuggled up on the sofa, curled up between me and E. Snow, Snow, Snow. Now it's time to decorate the mantel in the kitchen. What am I going to do? We have finally found the most amazing recipe for...

Mini-Van Mom: 2016 Books
http://mini-van-mom.blogspot.com/p/2016-books.html
Rambles about my attempts to herd cats, make a house into a home, craft, and find the joy in everyday things. I have set no lofty goals for myself this year! No 75 books in a year. Nope. I do plan to read books. I'll pick up what interests me at the library or book stores and review them on my blog. This will be the ultimate home to my list of books for this year. I'm looking forward to a year of finding new friends on the library shelves this year! 1) A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety. 8) House of Cards.
