New Years Resolution

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to New Years Resolutions. For the first few days, everyone approaches their resolutions with gusto and eagerness, but before long, real life resumes post-holidays and those good intentions fade into 'maybe next years'. 2012, however, is going to be a BIG, huge, lifechanging year for me.
1) I'm moving out of my parents' house
2) I'm starting a new educational path
3) I will be going to school with future designers in Toronto

These things all lead me to think that something has got to change in order to accommodate all of these grown up changes. My resolution: Look the part.

Something you should all know about me, I LOVE sweatpants, more than I probably should. This is not to say that I wear them all of the time, but I am definitely one of those students who rolls out of bed, throws on some sweats and shows up in class looking lazy (I should note that I am NOT actually lazy at school, just averaged a 91% this semester eeee). As an undergrad at a predominantly 'farming' university and having to drive forty five minutes just to arrive on campus, however, I've felt somewhat entitled to take advantage of the sweat pant luxury while I still can.


By the way, If you happen to be in the market for an amazing pair of sweatpants, I pretty much live in my Roots Original Pocket Sweats in Salt and Pepper. Cute, comfy and excellent quality. Available at http://canada.roots.com

BUT, I know that in Toronto, sweats everyday just won't cut it. Especially considering I will be attending a SMALL school where everyone I run into may play a potential role in my future career. Gotta represent myself right. Besides, I've got a lot of nice clothes that don't get worn nearly enough.

Thus, its time to start dressing more professionally, more often. Start putting my best foot forward to make those good first impressions, and look the part of a successful interior designer. It's never too early to start!

What's YOUR resolution? I'd love to hear :)

Between Christmas and New Year’s Eve…

First of all I want to thank everyone for all the lovely Christmas Wishes I received! So nice reading all of these nice words and wishes!

I do hope that you all enjoy a wonderful Holiday time!

Tomorrow Jan’s daughter Nele and her family will arrive to spend some time with us. So we are preparing their stay.

We will celebrate New Year’s Eve together! So we are looking forward to their arrival.

I might think we will spend a lot of time gathering around the fire place and watching Alexa and Tristan open their presents which are still under the Christmas tree. And we will certainly go for a walk in our neighbourhood, do some horse riding,…etc.

And yes of course we will prepare a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner!

A precious time together with family!

This is a collage of pictures of passed New Year’s Eve.

Jan and me give everyone of you our best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Succesful 2012!!!!!

Word on My street

Good News and Great News

So If y'all lovers were unaware......I have only been at this whole blogging thing for just about a year.

I also have only opened up shop as Amber Interiors for about 9 months...and in that 9 months I have been busy...

REALLY REALLY REAAAALLLLY BUSY!

Non Stop

Anyways, I have decided I need to take some much needed time off from Amber Interiors to be with my family.

I am closing up shop from Today December 21st. until the 3rd of January 2012!

This means so many things to me you have no idea..

Lateley, I am so flippin pre-occupied with work that my house and family go without 100% of me.

Which means shit starts to pile up and G start to say things like

"No MaMa's in work, pease"

(heart wrenching)

I need to take some time to kiss my baby G at least 7,000 more times then I normally do in a day.

Give the duck some quality us time and go on a long over due bowling date night.

Take Penny the Hound to the park and give Stella the cat some cat nip.

I am gonna take the time to finally decorate G's room

I am gonna clean the shit...literally, outta my house

I am gonna get my ass on a workout schedule and start getting some kinda fitness routine going

I may or may not crank out a few paintings

Take some cool photos of cool things

Have a garage sale...and blog tag sale...

Get healthier hair by taking my fish oils...every day

Naturally develop bigger breasts and grow longer legs

Write a Christmas album

Train Penny to do her hound poops in the toilet

and then go outside and help the Cat, Stella, Rake the leaves off the lawn.

Learn to whistle dixie

And get my scuba diving certification so that I can search for sunken treasure.

When I set a goal....There is nothing I can't achieve!

Don't fret..

I will not be off the blog

I will keep it as fancy as poss..

.hopefully have some time to get some DIY projects done.

Please don't be mad and throw your fist at the computer screen if I miss a day or two blogging over the next two weeks..

I might just be hungover those days
