I hope everyone's Christmas was enjoyable. We had a nice quiet day at home, just the four of us and then we went to visit my family in southern Utah. My oldest sure loved playing in the snow!
Also a really cool thing happened - I won a giveaway! I won a Shabby Apple dress! The Mullholland dress to be more specific. It is so cute!
I love starting a new year. It means starting over, having renewed motivation, and trying to be better. It may be cliche, but I'm making my own goals for this year and to ensure I don't fail I'm going to share some of them here with you.

You probably already know the SMART mnemonic for setting goals, but a little review never hurt anyone.
S - Specific, the more specific the better. This makes it easier to evaluate if you're on track or not. Ask yourself the five 'W' questions:
- What: What do I want to accomplish?
- Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.
- Who: Who is involved?
- Where: Identify a location.
- Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
M - Measurable, again you need some way to evaluate your progress to keep you on track to your end goal.
A - Attainable, make sure your goal is within your reach. Don't set a goal to run a marathon in 2 hours if you've never run before! It takes years of training to reach that level of athleticism and some may still never be that fast.
R - Relevant, is the goal you're setting worthwhile? If not, then you will find it hard to push yourself to make it happen.
T - Timely, give your goals an end date. Open ended goals will often result in failure if you don't have a deadline.
So with that review of how to make goals I'm going to share a few of mine with you. I'm just going to share a brief synopsis of my goals with you and not the full SMART versions I've done for myself.
- I would like to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight while continuing to breastfeed. More specifically 12 pounds by May, I'll need to take it slow so I don't affect my milk supply.

- I want to post more regularly on this blog. Let's say once a week at the least, but hopefully I can manage my time better so I can post more frequently.
-Eat healthier. I want to cut down on our consumption of meats and increase fresh fruits and vegetables. I want to have at least 3 meatless dinners a week. To accomplish this I've gathered a bunch of recipes from friends, family, and from Pinterest. I'll be sure to share the good ones with you.
- Maintain a cleaner house. I came across a cool pin on Pinterest about maintaining a clean house in 15 minutes a day. I've made my own schedule and I plan on using the Get Clean line to clean and keep my house a safe place, free of chemicals.
-Grow my business. I have loved every product I have tried from Shaklee and I not only want to share the products to help others live healthier, but I also want to share the opportunity. Shaklee has one of the best compensation plans in its industry and it has the potential to earn the equivalent of a full time income.
These are just a few of my goals, what goals do you have 2012?
