Update on2012 Goals- February

Well another month has past in 2012, so let's see how I have been doing on my goals for 2012 so far...

1. Blog more- In January I had 16 posts and in February I only had 6. Guess I slacked off a good deal last month. Need to get back blogging!!

2. Become More Organized- Hmmm this one is still a work in progress. I'm not LESS organized than I was though so I guess that's something. I'm hoping to use March and April to get a good deal of spring cleaning done, so in May I will see how successful I have been with this goal.

3. Shop Less- Eek!!! I did so well there for a while, but then Uncle Sam paid me my tax refund and I went a little...just a little! shop happy. Most of that money is in savings now though so I'm going to try to go back to my orignal plan of only buying one or two things on my wish list each pay period.

4.Try out a new recipe every two weeks- Well the every two weeks part hasn't been true, but I have made three new dishes, the taco casserole that I posted about, chocolate chip cookie dough dip, and chicken cheese roll ups, both of which I found on Pinterest. So we will consider this one partially successful.

5. Start couponing again- I have been using coupons everytime I go to the grocery store so we will call this goal a success so far :)

6. Donate to Charity Monthly- YAY a goal I have been 100% successful with so far!! January was to the World Wildlife Fund and February I donated to the National Wildlife Fund and renewed my membership in the Children's Miracle Network through the local radiothon. I am now once again donating $10 each month for the next year to the local Children's Miracle Network which is located right in my hometown.

Guess I haven't been too unsuccessful so far. Just need to get back to blogging more and shopping less!!!

Mom Told Me

Content by Donny Vinson

My mom told me about some great Satellite Dish Deals in our area and I’ve got more channels now than I know what to do with. I really like TLC a lot because it’s got a lot of shows that I feel like pertain to my age range, stuff about weddings and babies and all that. I just got married last year and I’m pregnant with our first child so I can really relate to some of the young moms I see on TV! I think its great there are so many different kinds of moms out there and being home (I haven’t found work yet since we moved here because I’m so visibly pregnant) gets lonely sometimes so I’m really happy to have these shows to watch. I love that my mom is always looking out for me like that and I’m so appreciative that I can call her on the phone anytime and talk when I’m lonely. I think it’s great that we’re starting our own little family but I still miss mine!

YouTube Tuesday!

My last "YouTube Tuesday" I took a little break from featuring singers and featured the wonderfully hilarious Jim Parson. Well this week I am back to featuring great singers. Some of you may have seen this week's singer on this season of Idol. Unfortunatley he got cut last week :(. After hearing this cover, Im not exactly sure how he got cut, but oh well. Maybe next season Johnny! Oh and he's pretty cute too so thats always an added bonus. This week's video is Johnny Keyser singing "More than Anyone" by Gavin Degraw.

Pinterest...Oh how I love you!!!

I recently discovered the amazing addiction that is Pinterest. I had heard people talking about it and seeing people post about it on Facebook so I thought I'd give it a look. Well that may have been a bad move seeing as how I spend any free Internet time surfing through the site. After FINALLY getting an invite, I was able to start making my boards. Sooo many great recipes, uplifting quotes, adorable pics, helpful household tips, crafts for both kids and adults, cute hairstyles and so much more. I have been lacking in my updates lately so I thought I would share some of my favorite things from Pinterest this week. This will most likely become a common blog topic :). Hope you enjoy. Oh and if you want an invite to Pinterest just let me know and Ill send you one! All I need is your email addy!

Weekly Song Wednesday!!!

I actually first heard this week's featured song in a commercial, and I LOVED it. This week's song is "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. I really liked her previous song "Mr. Know It All" too, so I'm glad to see she is still pretty successful after being the very first American Idol all those years ago. Kudos Kelly!!
