It's that time of year when we all have to take a good, hard look at ourselves and determine to change all the things that we don't like.  Don't worry next week you can go back to normal.

{1} What was the best part of 2011?
My brother got married.  None of us ever thought he would but he surprised us!

{2} What do you look forward to in 2012?
What is it about a new year that looks so exciting.  I'm just hoping to make this year better than the last year. 

{3} Do you actually keep your New Year resolutions?
I don't usually do New Year resolutions.  I may set a few short term goals this year.  I've really been trying to make some small positive changes.

{4} What are your top 3 resolutions for the new year?
*Day trips....For a while my family use to go on these day trips once a month.  Rules are it has to be somewhere you can go to and back in one day.  The idea was to have a mini vacation without spending a lot of money.  Of course it gets harder as the kids get older and get more involved with things and money is tight.  One month we went to Lehman Caves, then another month to the Lost City Museum, and once hiked the Temple Quarry Trail here in town.  It doesn't have to be a big event just something we all do together and its always really fun.

*Take a vacation....I want to travel to somewhere far off.  I haven't traveled in over 6 years when I went to Alaska and it was quite literally one of the highlights of my life.  I always talk about somewhere I want to go or something I want to see but never have the time or money.
*Budget....I do pretty good with my money but sometimes I get fed up with having to be a responsible adult and go off the deep end and purchase something completely useless and unnecessary.  Well not this year.  Obviously resolution # 1&2 are going to take money so I have to make some better financial decisions this year.

{5} Do you have any fun new years traditions or plans?
Nope and nope.  I'm still trying to put together a last ditch plan to head to Vegas for New Years but I think we procrastinated too long and its going to cost too much (see I am responsible) so we may shoot for next year.  As long as I end up on a dark dance floor kissing a handsome stranger I won't care where I am!

Tellin it like it is. . . .

I've been hearing a lot about these "Elf on a shelf".  Once again my sister-in-law was way ahead of the curve and these elves are no shelf elves.  Go big or go home right?  

Meet Buddy and Miley


As you can see the kids looooove when they visit. Buddy and Miley have been staying with the Madison family for years.  They show up just after Thanksgiving, keep those little hooligans in line, and then hitch a ride back with Santa on Christmas Eve.  Just like Elf on a shelf they move around at night and get into all sorts of chaos blah, blah, blah.  This is the funny thing.  Today I came across this "People I want to punch in the throat".  I. Cried. Literal. Tears.  Seriously, it is so funny!  I don't know how mom's do half the crap they do but sometimes it's nice to read a blog that isn't all sunflowers and rainbows.
