Happy New Year!  I know it sounds cliche to say, but 2012 really did zip by in the blink of an eye.  I can’t wait to see what 2013 brings.

For New Year’s Eve this year the Englishman and I decided to forgo the parties and keep it simple.  Just the two of us (and Pip of course), some take out, movies, and champagne.  It was a nice low key evening and since neither of us were feeling hungover this morning we were able to go out for a nice run to kick off 2013.

During our run, I was thinking how I need to simplify my life in 2013.  I tend to want to do things the “hard way” when really they don’t need to be hard at all.  So that’s one of my goals for 2013 (among other things of course).

Sometimes the simple things are really the best things.  The other day, the Englishman and I went to a wine bar and just each had a glass of white wine, a warm baguette with goat butter and that was it.  No frills. No fuss.

And goat butter on a baguette is pretty darn amazing if you ask me.

So here’s to keeping it simple in 2013!
