How you doin' on those resolutions?

It's Jan 31 and time to look at the progress of my New Year Resolutions (NYRs). Hope you're staying strong!

Achievable:

• No more chips or fries -- 31 out of 31 days!
• Attending church every Sunday -- 2 out of 5 Sundays
• Attending small group -- 0 out of 2 meetings
• Reading the Bible and praying everyday -- a handful out of 31 days -- gotta improve!
• Date night with hubby at least once a month -- eek -- 0 times
• Going to the gym at least once a week -- went once a week for 3 out of 4 weeks

Lofty:

• Blog everyday -- 30 out of 31 days
• Take a picture a day for capturng.com -- 30 out of 31 days
• Lose 8 lbs. -- 0 lbs lost, which isn't surprising since I only went to the gym 3 times this month

Pff! I wish:

• Learn to sew -- nope 
• Develop personal style -- I did start a Pinterest board 
• Go on The Price is Right -- nope
• Go on the Wheel of Fortune -- nope
• Get on The Amazing Race -- nope

I'm definitely crave fries when I'm eating out and chips when it's 10pm at night. I need to practice Christianity everyday. We have to have a date night in February -- it's Valentine's Day after all! And maybe I could increase my gym usage to twice a week. January's been a tiring month because my son and I are always sick at the same time.

As for blogging, I'm hoping to continue a post a day. Here's BlogHer's February badge and theme -- relative.

As for picture taking, I hope to continue a photo a day -- I can just imagine the album/calendar/poster/wall art I can create with all those images!

Maybe I'll pick up sewing. Maybe I'll take a class. Who knows. As for the other items on my "Pff! I wish" list, at least I started a Pinterest board. I even bought new items in January to serve as wardrobe foundations.

So, all-in-all, not a bad start to 2012. Here's to always growing, learning, maturing, and improving! 

Feel free to share your resolutions and progress too!

Day 31: Fun at the Please Touch Museum in Philly

For those that haven't been, the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia is the size of a serious museum yo (that's Philly talk yo).

Because I'm a geek, here are images of several museums to compare with Please Touch Museum.

Day 30: What does the "organic" label really mean?

When I got pregnant, maybe even before then, the hubby and I decided to eat more organically. We dove in head first and starting buying all of our food at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Our grocery bills got a bit out of control, so we decided to limit our organic food purchases to meat, meat products, and the Dirty Dozen.

Day 29: The missing puzzle piece

I bought this cool wooden puzzle from a nearby second-hand children's store, Emma's Closet. The pieces cover-up light-sensitive sensors, so that with each piece you put down, a phrase of "The Wheels on the Bus" plays. And when all the pieces are in their places, the song continues to "the driver on the bus..."

Day 28: Jasper's favorite activities

I don't talk much about the dogs on this blog, but just had to share these photos of Jasper, the 6-month-old puppy. His favorite activities are:

Getting beat up by Coco. Just kidding! They're just playing!

Social media overload? Nope.

Day 27: Those aren't yours

Here are a few of the dogs' things that my son, J,
has just grown to love "playing" with.

The dogs' toy, the dogs' crate...

Recent instagrams

In case you don't have Instagram (lisacng), or don't follow me on Twitter, which is very likely that you don't, but you should, here are some recent snapshots of life taken with my iPhone 4S. Enjoy!

Happy 3rd birthday, Coco!

18-months!

This week, J had his 18-month well-visit. He had 0 shot. WOO HOO! The only annoying, but understandable, thing that happened was the doctor stepped out for 15-min to take a call from a specialist about one of her very ill patients. Well, at least it was warm (he was only in his diaper) and J found safe things to play with in the office.

Anyways, J's growth is steady. Still big. Still tall. But at least in proportion. And no concerns about this development either. Yay! Check out J's list of words here.

15 month
Height 33.5 in (75th percentile)
Weight 28 lbs, 2 oz (75th percentile)
Head circumference 18.75 in (50 percentile)
