a new year, a new start

 

Happy New Year! Well, not quite there, but now's as good a time as any to ring in a brand new year and a fresh start. I'd like to talk a little about new year resolutions, we all set them, and sometimes really mean it or we treat them like wishes of ourselves, and the ball dropping at midnight is the equivalent of blowing out birthday candles. This year I'd like to resolute to being the type of person who really means to make changes.

 

Pictured above is a little representation of a few of my resolution wants. I want to conquer the ukulele, I play a little but nothing with determination. The other is to stop killing plants, I have a little bit of a black thumb. More importantly I wish to express my love towards my family more and be just plain happier. After spending the night talking to my amazing boyfriend, Ryan, I was able to take the hard pills in life and realize the blessings in my life, and about just being plain ol' happy than focusing on what I don't have perfect.

 

 

And, this year I'd like to improve on consistently blogging!

New Things

Never tried juicing before, so happening upon a vintage juicer in my garage, I proceeded to see if fresh juices was something I would grow to enjoy having around more often. I had a great deal of carrots in the fridge that I was never going to finish before they went bad, so this was the best opportunity to try carrot juice. The end result was some super exquisite fresh carrot juice and a lot of extra carrot pulp. I proceeded to turn the pulp into carrot bread!
