Happy 2009!

Hello my fabulous friends!! Happy New Year!! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. I sure did, and am ready to start a new year.

Do you have some new year's goals set for 2009? I sure do!
Here are my top 3 personal goals for this year, in order of importance:

1. Be organized, on time, and more balanced at home
2. Loose 4 dress sizes
3. Learn and master the art of "couponing"

Some big changes have recently occurred in my life in the last week that will make me have to work extra hard at managing my time more effectively...
I have been called as the new PRIMARY PRESIDENT in my ward. Yeah, BIG! (If you are not a member of my church and have no idea what I'm talking about, go here. :))

So to sum it all up in a nutshell, I have some important personal goals to work on this year, full-time mommy/wife duties at home, and now primary! I think this means that something will have to go, so I can focus on what's most important in my life. :(

This blog is a hobby, an outlet, and something I love to share. But I must never put it before anything I have mentioned above. I am going to try and keep it up the best I can, but it's going to be a bit more sporadic and not a priority at this time. {sniffle, sniffle} I can't run faster than I have strength. Please keep visiting. I will post whenever I can. If you send me ideas, links and FYI's I would love to share them here too. That would actually help me keep my blog alive.

I am completely honored and excited to serve the Lord in primary with His children. If you have some great primary ideas to share, please email me (link on right sidebar)! Thank you for your loyalty and support! I will keep you all "posted". XOXO

  2. Congrats on the new calling. I have been in primary for 9 years, mostly as pianist and chorister, in the presidency for the last year. I love the website sugardoodle.net. It's a great resource for Sharing Time (and music if your chorister needs to new ideas)! Good luck with everything on your plate!

  3. That is great! Congratulations! :)
    I already know you will be fabulous! I was Primary President in my ward a couple of years ago. I love Primary! I have a fun idea for a Primary Activity that we did and the kids loved it! Email me, if you would like the idea!
    Best of luck!

  4. LOVE your little blog! Great ideas...and I already feel a connection with you since I GREW UP in Boise! As far as your "Coupon Goal" goes... you should check out "The Obsessive Shopper." She is AMAZING at finding all the deals & coupons on food. Her blog is:

    ...she has also teamed up with a few other gals to help the rest of us out with Food Storage.

    Hope that helps. Good luck with the calling! It's a BIG one!
