Welcome!

To those who find this blog, Thank You for stopping by! My husband, Mr. Vanilla, gave me the idea for the blog title. He always says our life is vanilla, and he likes it that way. Vanilla isn't the most exciting or dramatic flavor, but it is always a good and solid choice that makes you happy, and your day wonderful!

Even with a vanilla life, there are still things that are irritating, and I plan to bring to light those little things that nag at everyone (or at least me), along with the things that make each day great. I Love My Vanilla Life!

Resolutions

It's that time again, to make a list of resolutions that really, most of us don't keep.  I don't make resolutions, so I start out ahead not having to be disappointed next month that I didn't do it.  I admire people who do make resolutions, and keep them, but it just isn't for me.

I do have goals.  Besides trying to keep up with the clutter in the house, and make sure the Vanilla Girls get to all activities on time, I have small things I strive for.  I want to be a better blogger, and see where it takes me.  Finding a job would be good, so I guess it goes under goal.  Use the new Wii Fit Plus is a great goal - especially when you see what your Mii looks like if your weight is a bit high!

Really, I think the best part of starting the new year is looking back at all the good things that happened in the last year.  2010 had its challenges, but when I look back I see a lot of good things that happened with family and friends, and how blessed we were.  So, wishing all a very Vanilla 2011!
