Best quote of the year : "Dont be the person who could juggle but just didnt have the balls"

Last year I decided that rather than start a list of New Years Resolutions, that would probably be broken by the second week in January, I would do a reverse list of all the things I have achieved in the last 12 months.  2011 was an amazing year and it made me realise that I dont need a list to aspire to but I just need to aspire to be the best I can be, whether that is mum, daughter, friend, business associate (or indeed juggler).

So on reflection, here are my reverse resolutions for 2012. 

1. I was nominated and subsequently named one fo the Top 100 Mumpreneurs by the national network, Mumsclub.

2. The Lilypad Blog was nominated and a finalist in the first Women Inspiring Women awards.

3. The Lilypad Blog has developed its own identity this year and has been a great platform to work with amazing brands like Fisher Price, Plum Baby and Groupon.

4. I have been able to give both daughters a new life skill through swimming. The eldest can now swim competently and the little one is enjoying the water with Water Babies classes. As you can imagine, bath time is hugely amusing in our house with neither of them being afraid of being splashed and dunked!

5. My love of blogging and addiction to social media has resulted in new opportunities and the start of some exciting new working partnerships.

 

The start of the year was a haze of breastfeeding and nappies, so I was probably wasnt focused enough to make any achievable resolutions but on reflection, the girl did good!

Watch out 2013, I have the balls and I am ready for some juggling!
