I thought creation of a "someecard" would be the best way to solidify my goals for the upcoming year.

Lately, looking at my Pintrest boards has been making me feel guilty.  I don’t do most of these things.  And what I do attempt never comes out like the pictures.  I need to step up my game!  I don’t buy all organic foods.  I failed at eating gluten-free.  I don’t freeze a month’s worth of dinners.  My messy hair bun just looks like a mess.  I try to make my own cleaning supplies but my house just ends up smelling like vinegar.  My baby girl is two months old and I forgot to start taking pictures of her with onesies with the little numbers on the front for monthly pictures.  My cake pops never want to stay on the sticks.  I only know how to tie a scarf a couple of ways.  My Elf on a Shelf this year moved around but didn't do any super fun activities worthy of posting on Facebook.  I remembered to take pictures for personalized Christmas cards but I forgot to send the dang things.  I don’t plan on rolling out my own fondant for my son’s upcoming birthday cake.  


This is the “Pintrest Era” and we've convinced ourselves we MUST do these things in order to be a good mother/wife/girlfriend/decent human being….not an extraordinary one, just a good one.  And who is telling us this?  We are telling ourselves this, that’s who.  So to all my ladies out there, know that no one can do YOU better than you can.  Nobody loves you any more because you do “projects”.  They just love you for YOU.  The Pintrest stuff is cute and fun, but it should just be the icing in your life..not the 12 color rainbow cake of it.  Don’t stress about keeping up with what everyone else is doing.  You are wonderful in even the smallest things you do for your friends and family.  You shouldn't care what anyone else thinks of what you do or don't do; if it's homemade or store bought.  

Now you’ll have to excuse me, I have to go make my own wrapping paper from 100% recycled goods for a party I have coming up and cut the sleeves off an old sweater to make leg warmers to wear with my new camel colored boots.

This year our little Lee family spent Christmas in Raleigh, NC.  That would be due to the fact that we live here...again.  Mike took a transfer/promotion and off we went. Thankfully some of our family were able to travel here before Christmas to celebrate the holidays with us.  Other big news aside from our move, Mason started preschool and our daughter Emerson was born.  Needless to say we ended 2012 with a bang.  Here's to hoping 2013 holds more sunshine than rain for our little Lee Family!  God Bless!
