Year in Review

All my cute fellow bloggers seem to be running down all their most popular posts for 2010 this week.

My 'lil blog didn't even start until almost 1/2 way through the year. So I didn't know if a "top 10" was even warranted!

THIS POST: If Everybody Had an Ocean was definitely the most popular.

Which is okay by me.  Because it was the MOST time consuming as well.  And definitely the most stressful!


This whole blogging thing was an idea that I had right around this time last year.  I was falling in love with a few blogs....and finding new ones to love left and right.

And there was a little voice in my head: (not the normal crazy voice that talks....although he's nice too) but a voice that said, "Hey, you should give that a go."

It took a few months for me to listen.


What a fun adventure it's been so far!!




For 2011 I'm definitely into making some New Years resolutions.

I know a lot of people don't believe in them.  But I like them.  Especially since I usually narrow it down to just 3.

My personal resolutions are:

• 1. Use a calendar program to keep track of planning and chores, and menus.  Hopefully becoming better organized with my time.

• 2. Focus on regular weekly exercise.  (especially since blogging isn't the most active endevor.)

• 3. Realize that I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING and thoughtfully say "NO" to things that I'm not able to truly commit to.

Last year one of my resolutions was to be more positive.  Another one was to keep up on housework.

Hmmmm......

Not so much, on either of those fronts.  But it is a new year.




I'd also like to make some "blogging" resolutions.

More, just to make sure that the blog is heading in a direction that I'm proud of.  And that reflects both things that I want to do, and that at least a few people want to read.

So...........

I am going to focus more on trying to show you all the talent that there is in the blog world.  So you can feel as inspired as I do by the amazing blogs that there are.  (it's almost overwhelming)

• I'm "sharing" some of my favorite ideas over on my FACEBOOK page every day.  So if you're not hanging out over there with us......head over!

• I'm also going to start up a new feature where we get to know other bloggers and their blogs.  That should be super fun.

• Some of the old features could be back. "Wired Wednesday" and "Manic Monday" and maybe a new one or two as well.

So let's all start off the NEW YEAR with a fresh outlook and a willingness to look at new ideas. 

Know how I love to look at my WHOLE YEAR?

I always have a "Year-at-a-Glance" calendar on my fridge.  Not to write on, just to be able to look out a few months. 

So when a friend calls me on the phone and says, "what do you think about going on a Cruise in March?" 
I am able to make a quick glance and say "Heck yeah!  I'm free that whole month. Will you be paying for that sweetie?"

(anyone who'd like to offer that, by the way.....feel free)

I like to use this size.  It will print out on a regular sheet of paper. 
I also like to cut it down the middle and paste the two back to front.  So it's just a 1/2 year on each side.

And speaking of printables......and we were......

Whaddya think of those?

Whaddya think of featured bloggers?  And recipes?  And craftiness?  And general mentioning of Diet Coke, and/or Neil Diamond?

I will be happy to entertain 

any and all suggestions for 

Less Cake {more frosting}'s 

New Year.

I will not, however, tolerate comments about: 

my grammar, 

gratuitous use of periods................, 

general personal body odor, 

the state of my pedicure, 

the ring in my toilet, 

the amount of Wendy's Dollar Menu food consumed on the premises,

Pretty much, don't say rude things.  
If it's not constructive,
fairly nice,
and/or about your love for Disney Live-Action movies and their fantastic actors.
(Hayley Mills?  Awesome!)
Then don't say it.

If you have great ideas.
Something you'd like to see more of.
Super great suggestions.
You want to be featured here on LESS CAKE {MORE FROSTING}
Or you'd like to share how Frosting consumption has, indeed, affected your life positively.....

Leave those lovely thoughts in the comments section!  Or if you're too shy to leave one there, you can always e-mail your genius suggestions to me: elle.ee.gee{at}gmail{dot}com


Hope you are all having a great New Year so far.  I've got some fun new creative {not crafts} projects, and some yummy Super Bowl type treats, and a ton of other nonsense coming up.

Thank you SOOOO much for reading, commenting, NOT crafting, and following along.  It means the world to me!
Hear from you soon!
