Words

I don't make resolutions, but I love the tradition of picking a word for the year. Only problem is, last year I chose a word and, come December, couldn't even remember what the word was. Clearly, I had not carried that word with me through my days. This year? No word, no resolution. Just a few blurry ideas with maybe a lofty goal tossed in for good measure.

In the spirit of all the wonderful words I have been reading about, I am sharing a few words that have highlighted the past few weeks for us:


Pulley: Made by "A," as a gift for the girls (inspired by this). Let it be known that the one rule for the pulley was that they may not lift people on it.


Renovation: The antique soapstone sink in our basement has been given new life. 


Oreos: from this recipe. Click over and make them. The sooner the better.


Sledding: a blizzard is good for this one thing, and was it ever fun.

Wishing you all much love and luck in the new year!

    Ha ha. I love it. I think I might be the only one in the group who actually did the steps toward balance to the end, too.

    Oh the pulley - I so want one. I think my kids might like it too. The Oreos - thank you - I've been wanting a recipe for homemade ones for a while now.

    Happy New Year!

    Gosh that snow looks good! Why don't you pick a word at the end of the year once you know what it was all about?!
