by Ginny December 27, 2012 | 17 Comments

The start of a new year is one of my favorite times of year. Not so much for the wintry weather (I’m a summer-lovin’ gal), but the chance to get organized during the dreary days of winter brings a sense of order and renewal. It’s nice to get things together in preparation for busier months when our schedules pull us in all directions.
