since 2013 is only a day away i thought it was time to think about 2012 becoming 2013. i see a lot of resolutions flying by and i always feel a bit hesitant when it comes to resolutions. i always have the feeling i can't make them come true the way they were in my head, leaving me disappointed. so let's rephrase the whole thing -> my 52 promises it is!
and i already promise myself that i'm not obliged to post a new promise every week. i keep them in my "little book of promises", and ofcourse i share them with you, hoping you'll join me! maybe you even want to share with me? i would love to feature other 52 promises on my blog.
week 1. the most important promise.
o yes. the muppets. i LOVE spending time with them. especially the crazy-play-silly-time (who doesn't right?). and i realize that there is never enough of that. never ever. when they ask to play, i always say yes already, but sometimes i want to finish something first. never laundry or cleaning, believe me, i drop that like a hot stone in a second. nothing is more important than playing with my crazies.
so as this is my most important promise to myself, here it goes:
GIRL play more! don't take them for granted. they need you NOW. whatever needs to be finished, it can wait. always. little crazies i will be there!
above pic: ready with my watergun. when i surprised Sanne & Ruben when they got out of school with 2 Spongebob waterguns 'waiting' for them, one conviently placed in MY hands :) GOTCHA. ha. you should have seen their faces!
and pic below: sponteaneous: it's gorgeous weather, let's hit the beach, while mommy hates the beach.... but i try to relax & enjoy them having fun :).
let me also take this moment to thank, from the bottom of my heart, all of my loyal readers, supporters, cheerers and lovers of my blog. you mean the world to me. without you, blogging would be so not fun to do. i love reading your comments, your big stream of emails with lovely words (and sometimes not so lovely but i can handle them. DELETE is always an option in my email you know :P.
life is good. let's ROCK & ROLL 2013!

Love the idea of the 52 promises, I'll give it a try! It sounds much cooler than resolutions that only last as far as January!!!
Will have to think of those promises tho and make sure there's some good ones in there ;) :)
Happy New Year!!!!
Hugs

Now this is my kind of New Year's resolution! :) I whole-heartedly cheer you on for your selection for today! My little crazies are all now in their early 30s. I made a vow to myself when they were little, very similar to yours, and trust me, I have never regretted it! I cherish the memories of the silly fun we had, and am certain to the very core of my being that this played a huge role in the wonderful relationships I share with each of them as young adults. Have yourself a silly, wacky, drop-everything-and-play new year!!
Cheers!
Leslie

Simply awesome - 52 promises I can handle - resolutions not so much. I'm down with sharing as well. I very much need to embrace more time with my 'muppets' <--love that you call your kidlets this - too tho' mine are 13 and 16 so it has become tougher - they don't necessarily gravitate to me as much - feel the need to embrace it even more so!!! So I shall surprise THEM!!! :)
