I love New Years day. Love it. It’s my favorite “holiday.” I feel like any mistakes I’ve made in the previous year are wiped away , leaving a fresh slate. Do you agree?
I really take New years resolutions to heart and try really hard to make them happen. Coming into 2011 I resolved to lose weight, I know….cliche . But, a year after having my little one I still had all of my “baby weight” and it was making me a lazy , cranky person.

After lots of work and determination I feel so much more comfortable with my weight. My secret? Setting short term daily goals and Livestrong.com ‘s ‘my plate.’ Tracking your every bite really makes you realize how much you are eating and lets you know when you can eat a little more!
What’s your goal this year?
At the beginning of each year I love looking back at what all I’ve accomplished the previous year.
I’ve been pretty busy!
Some of my favorite projects:
Starting the year off being a finalist in MissMustardSeed’s Copy-Me challenge
I feel like since I’ve been writing this blog it’s been all over the place and hasn’t really had a niche , until now. I’ve noticed a low cost , high style pattern lately. Now that I think about it, My whole adult life I have strived for a high style home . But, never having the funds to achieve it I’ve used my creativity to the max to make sure I achieve something pretty darn close.
In the upcoming year I hope to focus on helping you realize the potential of your home and help you achieve high style on a budget too!
