2010 Resolutions

Hmmm, new year's resolutions......to have them or to not have them? This year, I am torn between the notion of setting really good goals for myself to acheive this year or just setting myself up for disappointment if my resolutions are not acheived. To be honest, my 2010 resolution was for once in my life to NOT have ANY resolutions. I continutally seem to be biting off more than I can chew so I am trying to simplify and not put unnessary pressures on myself. But, I am what I am.....and I am a planner and I like new challenges. Therefore, there are just a few 2010 new year's resolutions I have set for myself:

1. To officially launch the start of my new business, Erin Heidemann Photography (a little side job for myself) so that Jay and I can earn a little more money in 2010!
2. To learn how to make really cool things on my brand new sewing/embroidery machine that I got from my parent's for Christmas!!! I have lots of project ideas, but I need to start off slowly and not get obsessed. I am so excited!
3. To spend more time just merely playing with my sweet little man while enjoying each and every moment! I often struggle with the whole "work/life balance" thing so this year I am going to remember that there IS time in EVERY day for a little play time!!! The checkbook can be balanced tomorrow!
   

Today I did not make much headway on resolutions #1 or #2 above, BUT I certainly did stick to 2010 New Year's resolution #3!!!! Not too shabby for only 6 days into this new year:) In this cold month of January in Chicago, we obviously have to play inside. So tonight, we played in the bath for almost 45 minutes!!! Thank God Jack received all of those new bath toys for Christmas because they were all put to good use tonight!!! We had fun splashing, singing, and playing peek-a- boo!

Such a cute little guy! Look at that face!!!
