I've thinking a lot about what I could do to take the blog to the next level. I wanted to extend my blog's reach before the end of the year, not like the holidays aren't crazy enough. Amazingly, I found myself with some free time between Christmas and New Year's and I created a Facebook page and a Twitter account for Two Cats and a Cradle. I'd love for you to "like me" on Facebook and/or "follow me" on Twitter. I feel like Sally Field's 1985 Oscar win speech, "You like me, you like me!"
So, take a moment to connect with me via Facebook and Twitter. It feels good to be liked! Thank you!
Every year at New Year's, someone says to us "this is going to be your year." I know they mean for us to have a baby and every year I hope it's true. As 2012 closes, it wasn't "our year" for a baby, but that doesn't discount all the other blessings a year can bring. We were able to spend extra time with family, we stayed connected with old friends and made some new, we both have good jobs and a roof over our heads. We were able to stick with last year's resolution by using cash for most everything. (I am going to post about the cash budget soon). We are both lucky enough to have married our best friend which makes every day easier. So, no baby in 2012, but just maybe 2013 will be our year! I am forever an optimist and I can't wait to see what possibilities 2013 will bring.
Wishing you a Joyful Christmas! Marlon and I usually do a fun Christmas card to mail out each year. This year we just couldn't get a photo done in time. Maybe next year we'll send out our first family card. Until then, here is a montage of holiday cards of past.
