Does it feel like friday to you? The whole week between Christmas and New Year’s is always a wonky one if you ask me. Oh well. Yesterday The Girl and I cut down a tree {shhhh!} made some homemade mac and cheese and worked on some art’s and crafts projects. Oh how I wish she could hang out with me every.single.day. 🙁
Do you have any big plans for tonight? I am going to try and stay up to watch the ball crop in NYC. LOL. Yep, that’s about as exciting as it gets around here.
If you are going out… BE SAFE and have fun.

Hi Mavis — I just wanted to thank you for your blog and tell you how much I enjoy it. Lots of our interests overlap (gardening, exercise walking, cooking) and plenty don’t, but I enjoy reading about it all, and find your approach to life very inspiring — setting and tracking goals, etc. So, thank you!
And if you might be looking for ideas for the upcoming year or even for the year after, here’s my suggestion: set a goal to see how much you can reduce the amount of trash you and your family generate. Personally I see this as the flip side to reducing consumerism, eating locally, etc. I would be so fascinated to see your take on this topic, and also to see how crazy low you can go with a goal like that! Thanks again, Sue

About the ball on NYE… We figured out last year that we can watch CNN and then it drops at 9! Then we put the kids to bed and plays Settlers of Catan until we’re ready for bed ourselves (around 11 last year) We have the same friends over every year, we both nave 2 girls, age 9 and 6 🙂 It works out great for everybody!
Happy New Year Mavis! I hope you continue to be inspired, and thus inspiring 🙂 E.
