New Year's Resolution List 2014

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF 2014!

Today is the first day of the BEST YOU EVER. Today is the day to make your new year's resolutions. It's kind of awesome, because you can be whoever you want to be this year. Forget the old YOU and become the NEW YOU. I am really really really ridiculously awful at setting goals. And probably even worse at keeping them. I always kind of have the things I need to work on list in the back of my mind, but it probably should be a longer list and I probably should have it written down somewhere I can actually SEE it. This year, I designed my own resolutions list for 2014. And I'm sharing it with you!

I'm really going to set some goals and try my darndest to keep them. I know I won't be perfect and will forget and that list of things I need to work on will grow every day, but I really want to try this year to actually become a better human being.

Here are some pics that helped inspire me. Maybe they will inspire you, too! :)

OK OK. For reals. :)

New Year's Eve "Midnight Kisses"

Happy New Year's Eve!

Are you ready to get your party on? We are celebrating with friends and can't wait to ring in the new year. 2013 has been a BIG one for me. Mainly, being a mom to a now 1-year old baby girl. It has been a complete life adjustment going from full time working wife to full time home with baby mom. I've learned a lot about myself I like, and a lot I don't like and need to work on. It's been UP and it's been DOWN, but thankfully mainly UP. I can without a doubt say this has been the best year of my entire life. The joy Ava brings into our family can't be spoken. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings for my little family. But before that all happens, we have to party away 2013!

I'm sharing a cute treat for New Year's Eve.

MIDNIGHT KISSES. Two of my favorite things: chocolate + kisses. This simple New Year's treat would make the perfect addition to your party spread or how about package it up cute and give it to someone you love? I'm using it both ways, because I just can't get enough.

I made one version of Midnight Kisses to give to my husband as a New Year's gift. I cut out circles from printer paper (0.88" round), wrote reasons why I love him on the circles, then glued them onto the bottom of several kisses. It was SO easy. Just make sure you right on the circles before you glue them on! You could also use the circle stickers found in the office supply section, but I just wanted to use what I had on hand {paper, scissors and a glue stick!}. I then put them in a cute polka dot treat box I got from Target for $1. It was a simple and yummy way to give my love a few extra midnight kisses.

The second way I used them was in a treat dish! I made a Midnight Kiss circle dot in various colors to attach the same way. You could even make a cute placecard that says "Midnight Kisses" for your treat table. This is a easy, quick treat, if you need something last minute for New Year's Eve tonight! I've included the downloads for the blank dots and the color dots below!

My Love Monday ... New Year's Eve Fonts

Welcome to week two of My Love Monday.

A couple days ago, I called my oldest sister {and I mean 'oldest' as in -- the oldest of us -- not that you are OLD or anything! wink wink}. My sister said, "Guess what I am doing right now?! Downloading all your cute Christmas fonts!" It made me so happy! My sister said she loves fonts, but doesn't have time to search through and find the cute ones. I suppose that is where I come in. I promised her to email her any new ones I find. Which I will. But why only share them with her, when I can share them with YOU?! You can take it easy from here on out, because Put A Bird On It has just become your source for downloading CUTE fonts. Cut out the middle man and come here first!

This week, my love is FONTS. Not just any fonts -- New Year's Eve fonts. I have found my 10 Favorite {free!} New Year's Eve Fonts to share with you, along with the links to download them to your font library. I hope you love them as much as I do. {I'm emailing them to my sister -- for good measure, you should email them to someone you love, too!}
