What has 2014 got in store ?
I feel quite excited about this year. We have some fairly difficult times behind us and are now able to enjoy our new kitchen. I officially start my new job on Friday, although as you know I got to start a little while before Christmas instead. This has worked to my advantage as I got to know the children really well and I found planning was a lot easier for this term.
We have set up some rules and regulations regarding the running of the house to try and make things easier now I am going to be out working every day - what's the chance that I'll end up doing everything anyway!? As you probably have guessed I love to be organised so there are a fair few rotas and schedules floating around. I'll let you know what works and what doesn't as time goes on!
We had a lovely break over Christmas - My OH had only taken a weeks break all year so it was much needed. We really relaxed and spent time together. Here are some of my Christmas highlights.

ReplyDeleteI'm all for a bit of organization when it comes to the household chores. I only do seasonal work for the first four months of the year and I'm hitting my peak season now so I've been doing the same thing -- planning, planning and more planning!
Lovely photos of your Christmas Claire....I need to get a bit of organization going in this house too!! Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Blessed New Year:) Thanks for all the lovely support you give my blog!
