I thought I would share some more links to what I am browsing. I hope everyone had a good holiday season, and a Happy New Year! Instead of a New Years Resolution I am setting a theme for the year ahead. My theme for 2018 is Get Organized! This includes my house, my budget/money, & my mental & physical health. Do you do resolutions or themes for the new year? What are they ,if you do?
