Ok, 2014. Let's do this.

OK 2014, this is our last chance to get it together. 

There are some things I really need to accomplish this month...

A mega stack of thank you cards
Finish a 2013 Christmas gift...
Figure out 2014 Christmas gifts
Eliminate the piles of boxes in my living room
Create an image for the business holiday sale
Craft a New Year card for the business
Craft a New Year letter for family
Dispose of my ill-fated orchid
Donate at least 1 item every day
Dispose of at least 1 item every day
Study 1 hour a day for my work licensure

Phew! I hate to say watch me crash and burn... But probably watch me crash and burn.

November was so stressful.  I wrote many blog posts from my phone all of which say "post failed". Apparently adding a picture from my phone is like entering a death spiral.  Add in a nexus 5 that refuses to connect to a PC and I've got more first world problems than I can shake a stick at. I promise whenever there is a time slightly more convenient than 2:38 am I will work on rectifying those posts. 

Welcome to Thirtying

Happy Birthday to me and Happy Birth Day to a new blog.

It's like I blinked and my twenties passed me by.  I don't want to live my life being swept up in a whirlwind of chaos, so I decided to celebrate turning 30 by starting this blog.  I want a life of intention, a life that's manageable and a life that is full of happiness and adventure.  

While I'm sure this blog would look much different if I was single and childless *coughnightlifecough* there are still many things that seem to resonate in my age group.  Like everyone else I know, I want to eat better, exercise more, sleep more, read more, relax more, simplify my life, and make more time from no time.  I also hope to study music, enjoy nature and do the things that make me feel alive all while trying to balance the weight of being an amazing wife and an extraordinary mom.

So here's to a new beginning and trying to have it all.

Cheers to being 30 and the thirtying life.
