Apple Picks

For such a routine oriented person, I seem to have trouble sticking to any sort of posting schedule for this blog.  Yes, I’m posting daily (or almost daily), but I’m kind of all over the place.  I try to rotate topics, so I’m not posting too many recipes, tot activities, or books in a row, but I don’t really have a set schedule (recipe on Wednesday, books on Thursday, etc).  I want to try to make my Apple Picks posts, at the very least, a little more regular!  I’d love to know what you think…is my randomness driving you crazy?  I’ll be posting a little survey soon to address that too.

For now though, here are some great end of 2009 summaries and posts to help you get 2010 off to a great start:

Joni at Cote de Texas posted her list of the Top 10 Renovations of 2009.  I find all of the before and afters so inspiring!  They’re all amazing, but I’m particularly in love with Layla’s beautiful cottage!

One of my goals for the new year is to include more vegetables in our diets.  (Okay, this is always a goal, but sometimes I focus on it more than others.)  Jenny from The Nourished Kitchen posted a great article on Five Winter Greens You Don’t Want to Miss.

I’m still trying to sort, organize and store all of The Littlest Apples new Christmas toys, so this article from The Creative Mama on Managing Post-Christmas Toy Overload couldn’t have come at a better time!

This list of 101 Ways to Cut Your Spending This Year is amazing resource from Being Frugal.  So many excellent (and simple) tips to save a few bucks this year.

Cassie from Cassie Craves shared her list of the Best Sweet Stuff of 2009.  I want to try every single thing on her list!!  Yum.  Also, she’s having a baby boy tomorrow!  Congrats, Cassie!
