Ten Things to Smile About This Month: A New Year

For several years now, since 2009 actually, I have done a monthly post called Ten Things to Smile About this month.  I began it after a really hard month where I just needed to find something to smile about.   The last Tuesday of each month I share 10 things that made me smile and would love for you to join with me.

10 Things to Smile About in January

1. A new year and the hopes, fresh starts and restarting resolutions that come with it.

2. Having family in town a few more days at the beginning of the New Year, it is always great when family visits.

3. Eating the Alphabet!  Eric and I started a fun date night- eating at restaurants beginning with the letter A all the way to the Z.

4. Finding something new and creative to do with my kids-- we really did love this so much!

5. The kids going back to school-- as much fun as break is, good to be back into the routine of things

6. Getting back to working out!  I used to work out 3 days a week and run 5 miles every Saturday.. it has been years since I last did, but I am back to it (the workout not the running yet)

7. Rain!  We have had so much of it this month-- which we truly need.
