New Year, new things!

After being sucked in to the blog world I have decided to start my own and what better time to start then the beginning of a new year!  My husband has a diary (he will probably kill me for calling it that) that he jots down things we did that day or places we went.  He is always trying to con me in to catching the diary up that I figure I might as well start my own!  That and the fact I am always giving him trouble for his diary having no feelings in it :)

I can't believe we are already starting a new year and I am very excited to make some positive changes and implement new things in to our lives.  I have recently become obsessed with organizing!  I have always had an organized work space but when it came to the house I would always get overwhelmed and never know where to start!  I have recently found a blog that I absolutely love and it has inspired me in so many ways already!  I have purged and organized so many things in the last few weeks my head is spinning.  It is such a great feeling of accomplishment to get a project marked off the list.

The Platt family had a nice relaxing New Year's and I hated saying good-bye to Justin and seeing him head back to work today.  We had a very low key New Year's and hung out as a family.  I was proud of myself that I made it to midnight - I usually fall asleep on the couch!  We got up and went to church on New Year's and then came home to watch our beloved Packers beat the Lions!!  That night we headed over to my sister's house to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday.  Ashley had so much fun playing with her cousin Kyle.  They are starting to get along really well and I am sure they will be the best of friends since they are only 4 months apart.

Justin was off on Monday and while I was on an organizing spree (checked 3 things off my list - woohoo!) he took Ashley out to play in the snow.  We snapped a few shots of her getting bundled up. 

Love the fact that she needed her pink sunglasses to complete the outfit.  I'm afraid we have a diva in the making! 

Today Ashley and I were lazy this morning and watched cartoons in bed for a little while.  I think we could have easily stayed there all day in our pj's but we had to venture out in the cold for Ashley's therapy.  We were surprised by daddy coming home for lunch when we got back.  While she is down for her nap I am catching up on work, house, and starting my new blog.  I hope you all enjoy catching up with the Platt family and I look forward to sharing more with you all :)
