I don't remember if I told you guys, but my word/motto/intention last year was "More" -- and boy, <a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/2012/09/36.html">was it ever</a>.

I'm not complaining, it was more in so many good ways, but it got to be too much. So I kinda shut down sometime in October.  Eh, I'm not beating myself up about it or anything, it's just the way the year turned out.

I wanted more and I got it. And then I realized that I didn't want quite so much.

So this year, the word that keeps coming to mind is Simplify.

I like it.

I'll be simplifying things this year -- in all aspects of my life -- and I couldn't be more excited about it. I'm not sure how much of that will affect you, but it will certainly affect me and my family, all for the better, I hope. I want to be relaxed and more focused, and I simply can't do it when I have a crazy to-do list hanging over me.

Simple.

One thing that will be different around here is that I've decided to gather all of my writing here. I will be using this blog as my catch-all for all the work I do, so if you see more posts, especially posts that you've read somewhere else, that is the reason.

It's an easy way to stay in touch. It's a simple way for me to find and own everything. I'm sick and tired of Facebook/Instragram/Twitter changing the rules on me, so I'm just going to keep everything here, where I make the rules.

Another thing is that I'll be moving content from the Frog &amp; Snail Society here -- I don't have the time to dedicate to another blog, but my boys are a part of my life, so it will all be here.
