Welcome 2011

The Boy and I rung in 2011 with some great friends.  We spent the night eating delicious food and playing Catch Phrase.  It was a perfect night and an a great way to start the new year.

Hopes and Dreams for 2011

As 2010 ends and 2011 begins, I can’t help but sit back and smile. I have come so far in a year with my professional life, as well as my personal life. In 2010 I graduated with my Bachelors, saw my best friend get married, spent more time with the Boy I love, traveled to new places, was promoted at work, laughed so hard I cried, made a life change and lost 45 pounds, and further developed Meredith & Maggie. I can keep going about accomplishments and memories from 2010, but that’s not the point of this post.


This post is about my hopes and dreams for 2011. What do I want to accomplish in the next 365 days? I have carefully chosen 10 goals (I hope to accomplish so much more than just these 10, but this is a good start) to work towards. I still have a life list going on here, but I think it’s important to have mini-aspirations to work towards each and every day.

Staying Chic and Organized in 2011

Ever since I was school-age I adore school supplies and calendars.  I guess finally being a big girl and taking the school bus each morning and having to bring home homework (yes, my early school years I loved homework - sick I know!) just made me fall in love with the accessories for school.

Flash forward twenty years and I still love the thought of going supply shopping, my heart skips a beat when I come to the planner section and I can spend hours pouring over each individual planner to find my dream one.  I may not be in school any longer, plus I use my iPhone and Google for most of my calendar needs, something about handwriting in my events and dates makes it seems more real to me.

Anyhow, I was browsing online at some fun, chic calendars for 2011 and these were my top favorites.

Coach will always be one of my favorite brands.  So classy. Found here.
