There you have it dear readers. I hope you're going strong in your resolutions and you'll find yourselves the picture of success by midyear.
Now - on the outset I want to say that this next part is 100% not intended to sound preachy or in a tone of bossiness. But change comes from a small voice speaking up so if I may...
If I can ask one thing of you and your personal goals for this new fancy year we have in front of us, please take a second to look where and who your food is coming from. 365 days of 2-3+ meals per day adds up and all that dough you pay for your food goes into someone's pockets and the quality goes into your health. Change something little. Maybe Meatless Mondays? Maybe happy eggs from a local farmer? The extra $2 might seem tough at first but it finds it's way into your budget without much growing pain at all. I promise. I've been there. Broke and cheap seem to go hand in hand. But it's worth it. Find locally sourced food nearby you ... with farmers who have real names and family to boot.

Wishing you only the most accomplished of awkward growing phases in 2011.
Love love love,
K.

You have a nice list here. I'm not a macaroon fan, but every other item is something I could stand to do myself.
"Keep my closet from throwing up all over the bedroom on a daily basis." I hear that, girlfriend.
