Love this free printable calendar from Toffee Magazine. It adds a nice pop of colour on my office wall and keeps me on track.
I’m posting four months at a time to keep my space clean.

Last month I took a huge leap and cut over 12 inches of my hair off! I had been wanting to donate to Locks of Love for years and there was no better time than the beginning of 2013.
Fellow patrons at Code Salon were gasping in horror as they watched the stylist hack off my ponytail. Yep, that’s a lot of hair.
It has been a month of transition and figuring out how to style the new ‘do. It definitely isn’t my favourite look, but hair grows and it will be long again before I know it. I am so happy that I was able to donate and help disadvantaged children suffering from medical hair loss. No regrets here.
After sticking to my resolutions (for the most part) last year, I am excited to set up some new goals for 2013.
- Seek out inspiration offline. Monthly visits to SF favourites like the MoMa, DeYoung and take more photowalks with my REAL camera. (sorry, iPhone!)
- Get back in touch with my DIY side. My Pinterest boards and household to-do projects are calling me to get hands on creative in 2013.
- Challenge myself in the kitchen. In 2011 I experimented with a recipe a week which really helped me learn a lot more about basic cooking techniques and ingredients. This year, I want to take a similar approach but stretch my capabilities by dipping into new territory. Whether it be delving into niche region cuisine (Thai, Indian, Chinese) or mastering Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguingnon, I want to push myself to cook tougher dishes.
Last year, it helped to have resolutions published on my blog for the world to see and to hold myself accountable for. Although they are by no means ‘life changing’, I like to stick to goals I can see myself enjoying and keeping up with throughout the year. I encourage all of you to think about what you want out of 2013 and push yourself to achieve it!
