Oh my goodness, I cannot believe the holidays have already come and gone! We had a nice long break from school here (2 whole weeks)and the weather was amazing. Those are my children up there sitting in the sun. Yes, my son has on shorts and a tshirt!
This is the first week back to "reality". I missed the kids before they even left!
We had wonderful holidays this season and I hope all of you did too. My kids are old enough now to not only enjoy the fun of Christmas but a to really appreciate it too, which makes it even more fun for me. We spent New Year's Eve our favorite way, a private party with just our family. We have some traditions that we love and the kids really enjoy it.
One of them is to eat a grape for each month of the year, if it is sweet the month will be a good one and sour means it will be more challenging. I think this tradition is Greek, but can't remember for sure.
This year we had a taco bar, hot fudge sundaes and (as usual) our special fizzy juice in pretty glasses. The kids love to stay up and watch the ball drop.
Now that they are back to school, and the house is quiet, I plan to get back to the business of writing. With OBS, plus the other sites I do some writing for, I barely have time to get to the biggest project on my plate...my book. But that is why one of my resolutions this year is to try to make some progress each and every day. See my plan on that here.
What are your New Year's resolutions? Any you'd like to share?

Hi Liz! Happy New Year!! See that you had a great time and also ate grapes! It´s a tradition from Spain, we always eat 12 grapes with each dong.
Hope you achieve all your resolutions. Best,
Marta
