It's that time of year again... The heating system in our house is over 30 years old... therefore, it doesn't always warm the upstairs the way it should. So, we use electric space heaters to supplement and keep our little girls warm at night :)

I love listening to Kaitlyn practice her Clarinet... She is definitely getting better and advancing through her music book at a steady pace! So proud!

Anyone remember these?? I used to LOVE them and BEG my mom to let me order something! Now my little first graders get them and of course I place an order every time! ;)

Nothing like a steaming cup of hot chocolate (the girls love it with marshmallows!) on a freezing cold day... Brrrrr....

While playing in the snow with the girls today, our dogs joined in on the fun! This is our handsome (ok, so I may be a little biased!) Golden Retriever, Sulley.

But because this is my blog and I can do as I please (heehee!) I'd also like to include a pic of our 'baby' Cavalier King Charles Copper! He's pretty darn cute too, don't ya think?!

Crackling, Captivating, Cozy, Calm, Comforting

Our first fire of the season... this fireplace is definitely my favorite part of this house!

Especially nice on days like these:

This morning my oldest woke up feeling sick and with the dreaded D word that kept her in the bathroom more than not. Then she spiked a fever of about 103 degrees, which was kind of scary. Of course, she stayed home from school with me today, but then at lunchtime, I also got a call from the school nurse asking me to pick Morgan up because she also had a fever - fun times!

Poor Kaitlyn in her vegetative state on the couch...

I finally had to break down and go to the doctor... I tried a new girl that's actually part of AtlantiCare and her office is in our local ShopRite grocery store, so it was pretty convenient and she was super nice. Turns out = I have a very bad Sinus Infection... Bring on the meds!

OK, so the Netipot alone wasn't enough, I had to resort to Nyquil - it was my only hope for getting some rest. Of course, I ended up taking the rest of the week off from work due to this sickness... blah!!

Well, my year started out with some serious sinus pain and pressure, so I used my Netipot religiously everyday...

One of my New Years Resolutions is to read (at least) TWO books per month, for a total of 24 for the year. As some of you may know, that is half of my goal from a few years ago, but I have to be realistic! This is a photo of my first book for 2011 (and so far so good)

This photo was taken at my friend Jen's house on New Year's Eve ~ of course it is my girls and I getting ready to ring in the new year!

Photo journey thru 2011

So, I'm starting a week late, but better late than never, right?!

Here's the deal...
You take a picture everyday for a year. Post them on your blog, Facebook, twitter, or wherever you choose. The idea is to be creative and basically journal your year through daily photographs.

I found a website that has challenges, photos and tons of inspiration! So I joined that as well as posting here :)

As my other friends join in my journey, I will include links to their blogs as well! (because YES YOU WILL join me!!!)

And... here we go!!
