12 things for 2012. . .





1. early to bed early to rise
learn to love the mornings

2. disconnect, shut down, switch off
free myself from technology regularly

3. open a little hat shop
here in this space

4. build a farmhouse table
from locally sourced timbers

5. say yes more
especially to my people

6. give more, expect less
{still working on last years resolution!}

7. plant an orchard
nurture it & watch it grow

8. explore more
make the most of where we live

9. walk, swim, stretch
find time to move in some way every day

10. become expert beekeepers
{we brought home our new bees yesterday)

11. meal plan regularly
make the most of local seasonal produce

12. count my blessings
there's so much to be grateful for

: :

wishing you
an extraordinary, excellent & abundant
2012

My gosh I had a look at the table you want to build, and it sure is a beauty.. I just added it to my list.
Oh and hats made from vintage fabrics, that is a great idea, cant wait to see it happen for you. x

I love your list.So many things on there are ones for me too - table {though I want to find an old one already built;)}, get into bees - something I'd love to do in the future on our new block, saying yes more to my son and those I love and so many others too. I didn't do resolutions this year but I really love your list idea.
