Fresh start

What is it about the feeling of a fresh start?  I just think that a new year is like endless possibilities.  It's like a Monday, but way better for starting new.   It's like a free pass to be brave.
Nope, can't do it today, have to wait til the new year.
It's so funny, but true.  It gives us a pass to wait and keep slacking or just doing the same old thing...until the new year!   Bring it on.  It's the new year.  I've all of the sudden figured things out!

What are you going to do differently this year?  Maybe I'll learn how to keep my house clean.  Or maybe I'll stick to planning a menu for the week.  I think mine are all called being an adult.  Not sure I'm ready yet.  Maybe I'll figure out how to drink 760 oz of water.  Or maybe I'll stop smiling when I vacuum up a lego or barbie shoe.

 I don't like to commit to resolutions.  I like to test the waters of different things.  Thinks I keep trying to do, but just do kinda halfish.  Maybe I'll make a cleaning schedule.  Or I could just dig up the one from last year.   I'm not going to be hard on myself.  There are bigger fish to fry in this world.  (Fish, I'll add that to the "menu").  Cereal is a meal you know.

I think to-do lists are good for me.  They are kind of like a daily resolution.  Sometimes a resolution that is still there the next day.  Just with a different day of the week at the top of the list.
My favorite thing to do is think of something that I've done, like drink my coffee, then add it to my to-do list, and be able to cross it off.  Bam.  Take that to-do list.  You know you do it.  Right?

So, what we've learned is that I need to grow up, figure myself out, focus, stick to one task, take care of my family, run a small business, get rid of negativity around me, treasure the good stuff, etc.  The list goes on and on.  I hope that you will enjoy my little attempt to blogging this year.  More consistantly.  I try it often.  I wonder if people are out there reading it?  I know a couple are.  So, if you are one of those couple, thanks!  Because this might be a complete and utter hot mess.

But we can add that to our to-do lists!  Utter hot mess blog, check! ;)

P.S. Did you see the new products over at Trixiegirl on Etsy? She seems like such an adult!

Happy New Years!


Happy New Years friends!  You are probably either still sleeping, wishing you were still sleeping or thinking about going to sleep. Drink, eat and sleep some more and you'll be good as new!

I closed Trixigirl a couple weeks ago for some time with my family and to travel.  The 2014 holiday season was like nothing I've ever had before.  I am still in awe of the people that support this small business.  They keep coming back!  It's like baby Target.  So thank you for making this past year the most successful one Trixiegirl has had.  But 2015 will be blowing that out of the water right? ;)

So my thoughts for a while were to clean things up in my shop.  Change and make better.  I started from scratch.  Like I was opening a new store.  I got rid of old things that were just hanging around cluttering up my shop.  It was kind of like deep cleaning a house.  (Which I also have to do.  blech.) Everything from new products, new pictures, new policies (is there a more fun word?), new attitude.

Here are some of my new favorite items:






What is your fav new item?  Is there anything you would like to see?
I do have a couple things coming this week that I will be adding.  Thanks for looking!
