New Year, New You?... New Year, More Wine

I'm back! Did you miss me? I doubt it, but that's okay; we can't all be friends. Unless there is wine involved... we all get a little friendlier and let's be honest, look a little better after a few glasses!

So it's 2016... holy $h!t! When did that happen!? I'm still stuck on the fact that Christmas was 60 degrees, lacking snow and upset that my jeans got  just a little bit tighter thanks to those holiday cookies. So how are YOU? With a new year always come resolutions... I'm going to lose weight, I'm going to stop eating carbs (this is so not me), I'm going to work harder or take more vacations... the list goes on - although I do like the last one. This year my resolution is not to make resolutions.

Now, if you have some serious issues like health concerns, addictions or you're just a jerk in general (you know who you are) then maybe you should set some new goals for yourself. For the rest of us, let's learn to live in the moment and enjoy life! Carpe Diem mother truckers! Not that you shouldn't have goals - change is GOOD. Say it with me, 'CHANGE IS GOOD'. But, change should be made for the sake of progress - not just because Weight Watchers is shelling out the big bucks for some serious marketing right now. Although on a side note they've now got Oprah. Hello, it's OPRAH! That $h!t is legit. 

Bottom line here Mama's, you are already fabulous. You're raising tiny humans the best way you can - kudos to you if you managed to put pants on or shower today as well! You are juggling work, family and your sanity. Many of you have a heck of a lot more going on outside of JUST (understatement alert) that. So why not praise yourself a little more and start the new year by focusing on how awesome you are, instead of finding a flaw to fix?

If you want to set resolutions good for you. Just promise me one little tiny thing...  any resolution you set should be a goal that will make YOU happy... & involve more wine.
