P.S. I am doing blog design for Blogger blogs for $20. This encompasses everything from a custom header with or without social media icons, social media icons (if they aren't in your header), a little picture about me, blog post dividers, etc. I have some examples on my personal blog. I'm sure you all have noticed I change my own look frequently. I'm trying to design for others to keep from changing mine too often :)

I want to revisit my resolutions again and update on how well/awful I'm doing on them:

• Get on a schedule - I hope to continue this, as the last two months have been great.
• Catch up on adding the printable feature to old recipes. - Didn't work on this because I was too busy.
• Work on emptying bookmarked recipes. - Did a few here and there. I'm to the "r's"
• Use breadmaker, cake pop maker, and KitchenAid pasta attachment. - In. The. New. Year!
• Add tried recipes to my Master List. - Caught up for the most part. This is definitely ongoing on though.
• Figure out which recipes have been posted that aren't in a binder or on my Master List. - Done!
• Update to-try and favorites lists. - still need to do.
• Make a list of what is in my freezer and in my pantry. - this will be better for when we get home after vacation anyways.
• Work on organizing more themed weeks.- I have ideas for Feb & March. I just need to make for Feb. March will be beer week - guest posting from my husband!
• Prepare new blog stuff for the new year!- working on this one.
• Get more organized on the sponsorship stuff.- I need a better system. Badly.
