a new month; new goals

make fresh pasta > we were lucky enough to receive a pasta maker for christmas and i can't wait to try it out. does anyone have a fail-safe recipe? i think i'm going to start with jamie oliver's - and will share the results!

read 'the 7 habits of highly effective people' > i've got a slight head-start with this goal as i've joined an online bookclub organised by jess lively, and i'm really looking forward to using my time with more intention (less pinterest!!)

comment more > i use google reader to keep up with my regular blogs but it's easy to read through posts and scroll to the next. this february i'm encouraging myself to join the conversation.

jan 2013

instead of a list of lengthy resolutions this year i've decided to set some monthly goals.

walk > easy, just head out for fresh air every day

blog > with a bit of planning and inspiration i'm excited to make blogging more of a focus in 2013

capture > my diana f+ camera loves the sunshine and there's plenty around at the moment!

finally, if you need any more inspiration to set a few new resolutions this post by sarah of note to self could be just what you're looking for! the whitney english day designer is going straight to my wish list.

after a perfect day of sunshine yesterday, today's wintery blast seems especially depressing. good thing i've got plenty of coffee and the latest issue of HOME to keep me inspired and entertained :)
