I can’t believe that today is December 31, 2010!
All things considered, my year has been pretty wonderful.
I am blissfully happy with my chosen profession of motherhood. I have made some tough decisions in that department like deciding to take off another year of school or to get rid of my car. It’s all because I firmly believe that I am the only person good enough to take care of my kid.
This year I have learned to not focus on the material things I don’t have, but to focus on the special moments of motherhood, my amazing relationship with my husband, and even to focus on how much I love my dog.
I have learned (and this is a daily lesson) to remember that my life is good, it’s simple, and even the most complicated day for me is in all reality a very easy day, even if it involves flashing a dressing room full of people.
A few days ago, I read on someone’s blog where she had reposted what she had written last year about where she hoped she would be by the end of this year (did you follow that complicated sentence?) The rest of the post was spent reflecting on whether or not those things had happened. So, I’d like to do the same here, so I can review it next year:
I hope I’m still blogging!

Worrying about money less and focusing on what you have more? Brilliant! Something we should all strive for!

Hi Kate, I just found your blog and I´m very excited about it! You have a cute Family! Isn´t it wonderful to be a Mother.
I need to set me the goal to spent a weekend just with my husband and "without our kids", too. We have 3 kids and we have never done that.
Have a wonderful new year 2011. (It hasn´t started yet for us over here in Germany.)
Hug´s,
Verena
