My word for the year is Courage, with a capital C. This is a year of milestones. My oldest son finished Driver's Training. My youngest son turned 13. My daughter completes her 5th year of dance. My husband and I met 20 years ago and, this year, I turn 40.
That's a lot of biggies in 12 months.
This year, I am determined to do more, be more, live and love more...everyday.
So...
I quit my job to start my own business. I quit a good job in the middle of the second worst recession ever to start a craft business. Crafts I know. Business...well...not so much.
Today is day 3. My house is mostly clean. I'm working on the massive mountain range of laundry in the basement and setting up a workspace in our family room because my basement craft room is freezing. I have a notebook of ideas, lots of supplies and conviction to make this work.
I have courage. I have a plan.
Courage.

Cozy Home
The holidays are behind us, but I still haven't put one Christmas decoration away. That is the focus this weekend. I want to clean up and pare down and cozy up for the cold months ahead. Our couch is nearly buried in blankets, pillows and quilts, at the ready. I once heard our home described as a "sleep trap" because of the cozy corners to curl up in. I still think of it as one of the greatest compliments ever given to me.
We have flu and basketball and work and cleaning and school and laundry, but we're all cozied around the television, watching Despicable Me for the millionth time.
The rest of it can wait. We need to snuggle.
Cheers!
