So, it's the new year, and I don't feel any different.

Happy 2012.

At the end of 2011 I ushered a new baby into this world. It has to be one of the best years of my life. But now the new year has started and I plan on welcoming 2012 in with probably very cliche New Year's resolutions. You know, the same one's you hear from everyone..healthy, lose weight, not be so boring, blah blah blah. Yeah, I'm doing those too. Here is my list for 2012.

 

Be Green:

The old saying is that your body is your temple, and I plan on taking that very seriously. The only thing you have in this world is your body, and you might as well take good care of it. Let's say in 2011, I may have had just a little too much junk food. 2012 is back to healthy, healthy, healthy.  More organic, natural foods is what I plan on feeding my family. No foods with artifical dyes or sweeteners either. Food should be just that...food. Not fake, modified..stuff that we ingest. I mean, it goes into our bodies after all.

Natural Parenting:

With my children, I have been following many of the "attatchment parenting" and "natural parenting" guidelines. I baby wear, I co-sleep, I (used) to cloth diaper, etc. When Elise is old enough, I plan on making my own organic baby purees this year. I plan on beginning my oldest, Lily, on back-baby wearing and using less strollers when I can.


Think Positvely:

 It's not hard to think negatively, but it takes a little more effort to think positvely. This year that's my major goal. To see the bright side of things! Part of this is beginning my yoga routine once again after my 6 weeks post partum period is up, going out in nature more often, spending quality time with friends and family. Maybe begin journaling. 


That's all for now. My main purpose of this blog is talk about my above resolutions, as well as talking about natural parenting, posting recipes, and just general mama life.
