With the new year beginning I have been thinking on new goals. As I sat and thought, I continued to go back to the thought of spending MORE time with my FAMILY. I find that working full-time poses a challenge of balancing time with family-work-and everything else in life. I thought a good way of spending time with my family would be to make a list of activities for us to shoot for this year. I compiled the list with ideas from Pinterest (my new addiction. that sight is SO awesome. Along with ideas from our family and of things we have done in the past and enjoyed.)
So, here is our list for the year...
