2011 was a great year in many ways – but not a particularly impressive year for blogging. In fact, it was downright non-existant. So I’ll sum up 2011 quickly. In January, we moved to Vancouver. I got a new job at a start-up after 9+ years at my last company, Lindsay launched a company – Placeling, and in November, we welcomed our son Cameron to the world. There were many other happy moments, and some challenging ones too, but that’s about it in a nutshell … now we’re all caught up!

Now to a more forward looking topic. It’s always been important to me to come up with New Year’s resolutions, and for what it’s worth, I’m really good at forging new ones every year. Achieving them … well, my record is more dubious. So this year I thought I’d celebrate my return to blogging by making my resolutions a bit more public. I hope that this will result in a more respectable success rate. So, here they are:

1. Be a great wife and mom

2. Get back in shape. Run the Vancouver 1/2 Marathon in May, and exercise regularly.

3. Get creative. Re-ignite my music collection, start blogging again, build a robot with Linds, begin cooking (this should also be included under item #1!) and work on my business idea (more to come on this).

C’est tout. Arguably #3 is actually #3,4,5,6 and 7, so I think this is plenty to concentrate on for now!

Happy New Year!
