the infinite carryover

I've never been one of those people who was quite good at keeping resolutions or had specific resolutions for that matter. I would have the standard: lose weight, eat better, go to church more, clean more, spend less etc. Less of a resolution and more of a just be a better version of myself. Isn't that the thing with New Years resolutions? An opportunity to redeem your worse self. Should be called redemption if you ask me. 

New Years Eve is often held in the highest standard as if it's the end all be all of epic nights. Fancy outfit, endless bubbly, midnight kiss. For some 10-15 years it had been a mish mash of these typical "NYE things" for me but never quite a complete and full on perfect evening, not until I guess I met my hubby and things started finally falling into place. But before I get off topic the whole point of this rambling was and is that I've been thinking about resolutions and the crazy fast approaching new year ahead and how I want to simply just do life better. 

How I hope to be the best version of myself, and ultimately a better wife, daughter, sister and importantly mother to my darling son. How I really need to dust underneath the couches one first time (half-joke). How I need to stop buying of the moment entertaining accessories if I'm not hosting and having fabulous dinner parties. How I need to start having fabulous dinner parties. How I need to accept that I really can't do it all and be "on" all the time. How that "baby's first year" book stopped growing at 7 months old and is looking more like a bag of photos and momentos that has been sitting far too long on the Ikea Expedit shelving unit that never quite came to life in the guest room that too was never realized.. sigh it's all so exhausting, can't I just blame it on the working mom schedule? Anyway messy life aside, that is my vision. To do better, be better, and maybe actually use that on trend copper hammered drink bucket currently living in my fireplace :)
 
What are you redeeming this year?
Happy New Year! Bring it 2015.
