Well, we made it! The New Year is here, a time when resolutions are beginning to develop and take shape. When thinking about what I hope to accomplish this year and what I really want in 2012, I have to be honest and tell you that each year it never really changes.
I just want some bread, salt and wine.
That’s right – please pass me some bread, salt and wine in 2012. Taken from one of my favorite movies It’s a Wonderful Life, allow me to share why:
Bread–so that this house may never know hunger.
Salt–that life may always have flavor.
Wine–that joy and prosperity may reign forever.
Along with good health, please pass me the bread, salt, and wine in 2012. Cheers to a happy and healthy New Year Theta Moms! I look forward to an amazing 2012 with you – TONS of fabulous new developments (including a BIG new venture) and more surprises are on the horizon. That TOTALLY deserves a #WOOHOO!!
And the fabulous Lauren from Restored 316 will also be helping me add a fun new feature to Theta Mom® very soon! Can’t wait to share it all in the coming months and continue this journey with YOU!

I feel so out of the loop… I’ve never heard that before and I’ve WATCHED It’s a Wonderful Life!
Regardless, great sentiments… I’m going to remember them!

Thanks for keeping in real and simple Heather. Life does not need to be complicated, but rather quite enjoyable.

Probably not what I needed to read first thing this morning, since I just vowed to give up wheat, sugar, dairy, and booze. LOL. I over-indulged WAY too much this holiday season!
I am ready to get back into a good routine today though…if only I could wake up!

I think what appealed to me was the simplicity of this post! After much craziness of Christmas, bread, salt and wine seems perfect. Plus I love the movie, “It’s a wonderful life.” I totally know the scene you’re talking about!
