Getting Ready For 2014!
Our family when through a bout of sicknesses at the end of the year. During that time, I'd seen the inside of my medicine cabinet dozens of times and noticed things purchased over 10 years ago, things missing and things we no longer needed! Time for an update, for sure. So, as they say, Out with the old and In with the new!
Here is an awesome list of Medicine Cabinet Essentials I found on Real Simple.

New Years Resolutions
I am a BIG non-believer of "New Years" resolutions. Every day is a GREAT day to resolve to make yourself better. :D But, today I feel the need to make extra resolutions to start the year. Here we go.
1. Spend more time watching my boys and less time watching TV, computer and Kindle.
2. Make keeping my house in order my job. (I may not get a paycheck, but I will still be held accountable.)
3. Work harder to grow my business, no matter how foreign, scary and uncomfortable it is.
4. Prioritize how I spend money.
5. Take time to take care of myself. I am no good if I am sick constantly and wearing myself down constantly.
6. Try harder to be a good friend to my husband.
7. Do something extra to make my home better weekly, even if it's just detailing a chair.
8. Remember those I love and call them and spend time with them.
9. Attend church every Sunday. Every Sunday.
10. Spend more times creating spiritual moments on my home.

Sarah's Problems
I've been playing this game called What's the Phrase? and one of the categories is First World Problems. I've been feeling very thankful after guessing such things, so I thought I'd post a list of My "Problems". They may make you chuckle, but just think how blessed we are to have these types of 'problems'!
1. Waiting in a line. Any line. To get anything. Like a soda or a car wash on onto a park ride.
2. Getting my kids out of the house on time....to get to school or to dog training or to a play date or to the movies or to the park.
3. Losing my keys....in my house to my cars.
4. My cell phone battery being low....so I can't play games so I don't miss calls.
5. There's nothing good on TV or Netflix or AmazonPrime or in my DVD collection...that haven't seen or haven't read or have an interest in.
6. The dim on my ebook isn't dim enough to read in the dark in my comfortable bed in my comfortable house.
7. Waiting for my friends to play their turn on their smart phones so I can play some more.
8. Doing laundry again! and again! In the washing machine that sits in my house.
9. Doing dishes again! and again! By putting them in the dishwasher because we enjoyed another meal.
10. Dropping my kids off on time to their two different (blue ribbon) schools, that are 4 miles away from my house so they can get the best FREE education out there for them.
