ok….winners for the mpix day planners:
I would love this! I can't wait to see the day when my son can be completely off ALL of his medications and the dreaded ketogenic diet. It may be this year! I'd love to be able to count down and keep having hope for all that 2013 will bring and a calendar like this would help me keep it all straight! www.ourjourneywithdoose.blogspot.com
I dont have any particular MAJOR event planned this year. BUT I do need to get organized! My MAJOR goal for the year is to meal plan better and to organize my "to do" list better. I fail miserably when I try to do it on my phone and I end up with scrap paper lists of things to do all over the place. This planner would be so awesome for me!
Oh my gosh, these planners are adorable! I can't wait to write in PEN the day we finally plan our family vacation…it's been a long time coming!!

Susannah - Congrats on the running! I can’t even get out when it’s 70 degrees out. 🙂
jenny - So impressed that you are running outside in the cold, and at the coldest part of the day!
I have been a big baby and have moved my walking/running inside to the treadmill!
Adrienne s - Does the chicken shred or stay intact? I tried doing a salsa crokpot chicken thing and it shredded and my kids wouldnt eat it.
This looks so good though! Love my crockpot.
Angie - YEA!! Laurie’s my BFF!! Congratulations!
becky - ack – i read tina’s book out loud to my husband when we were on our cross country trip this weekend. i was choking on laughter – all the way through…especially the part where her mom handed her the menstruation kit – both the mother and daughter part…classic. sigh. so good, now i have to go read it again.
speaking of pee-your-pants laughing…i know, i was the only that mention pee…but pitch perfect – BRILLIANCE, in the same vein of crazy tina-ism humor. and watch it with a group. sooo funny. especially from a grown woman watching it with her teen sisters (we have two generations of kids in our family)…silliness.
happy new year.
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - i’ll have to read that book. i kinda adore her already, so hmmmm…may put me over the top;) you are a rock star in my book for running outside and in that cold weather. that’s tough stuff. i couldn’t do it i know that for sure.
Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - Hooray for Annie! Any reports on how her arm healed over this time?
Jen - Glad that Annie got her cast off. Yes, Kansas is beautiful. And a big YOU GO GIRL for getting your run on!!!
Kate - I’m glad you made it to the gas station! Proud of you for getting your run on even when it is crazy cold – you go girl!
Mac - Happy New Year to you and your family ! Your happy,colourful, creative and down to earth blog has cheered me up over the last two years as I read it while drinking my morning coffee and and taking a big breath after getting my four busy children to school down here in Australia. We are enjoying a very warm,carefree summer now. Hope you make it down here one day. Take care.
