It's officially the end of 2012! Can it be true? Already!? My grandmother was right~ Time goes faster the older you get. The more I grow as a person the more I realize that it doesn't really bother me when I know I am living up to my full potential.

When I look back at what I HAVE accomplished in my life, I am amazed and happy about how far I've come. Sometimes I think, wow, I really need to do this and this and this, but.... what have I done in the last few years that I am proud of? I have 3 amazing children! I LOVE my husband more now than I ever have, we worked out some major issues and our marriage has survived 11 years so far! I am learning to walk closer with the Lord, spend more time in prayer. I went to massage school and am now a licensed Massage Therapist , had my own business for a while doing massage (which was fun), now I am focusing on being a stay at home Mom, Wife, and homeschooling Teacher, massage on the side for friends and family for now.

I am trying to eat and drink more raw and alkalizing, less and less cooked and acidic! I have succeeded in getting wheat, dairy and most refined  sugar out of my home (with the exception of Ezekiel sprouted grain breads) I really need to start making my own bread again. I try to juice every other day, green smoothies, etc... I am so happy for all I have accomplished and it should serve to give me motivation for more positive changes in times to come! =)

My top 10 Goals for 2013~

1) Have daily devotions for myself and my kids and as a family

2) More doing for others and less doing for self

3) Practice using endearing names for my husband (why is it so hard?!)

4) Give and receive more massage

5) Exercise every day in some way

6) Learn and eat more raw food recipes

7) Blog at least 2 times a week

8) Have people over for dinner more often

9) Play with the kids often

10) LAUGH MORE!

What are your Goals right now?! I pray that you have some amazing goals for this new year and that by God's grace you are able to come closer to where He wants you to be~

With Love and Joy to all of you~

Often times my goals are much loftier than what I actually accomplish....... oh well, I guess I'd rather be an over achiever than an under- one!

So much happens, so fast! I found out that I am pregnant with #3  in April..... so with that my hubby and I took our first vacation in the beginning of May this year... a week in Maui! We figured we had better because it will be a while before we have the chance to do this again, and our  kids are just the age to handle a week at grannies! We had an amazing time! Stayed at an awesome (low budget)B&B right on the ocean for 3 nights in Paia, then 2 nights in a super cool yurt with outdoor shower etc... in beautiful Hana, and then 2 nights at another great B&B in Kihei, 3 different areas of the island. The weather was perfect! The tropical fruit was soooo DeViNe~~~the beaches~~~ the water~~the swimming! I really miss perfect papaya for breakfast. Much needed, but we were so happy to see our kids when we got home! I did have a tiny bit of morning sickness while we were there but it really hit when we got home... so glad it mostly waited. Also I had taken the state boards for my massage license and the waited and waited and waited for it... it had arrived while we were on our trip! I'm excited that it finally showed up, but now that I'm pregnant with all this morning sickness I won't be able to do the part time massage like I had hoped...... yet! 

Getting ready, trying to navigate this new world of homeschooling... I feel like a whale on a mountain right now.... not the first time though!

So I'm a pregnant, mother, wife, domestic engineer,massage therapist, healthy living enthusiast, bi annual blogger! I would like to change that last part though!!
