I can’t believe that I am sat here once again writing a New Year’s post. Okay, so it’s not technically the New Year yet but in a few hours some of you will already be celebrating 2012 and who knows, I may be asleep by the time we welcome the New Year here inFrance.
A quick read over my past posts from 2010 and 2011 New Years and I am left with a sentiment that maybe I shouldn’t set my expectations so high. In each post I spoke of disappointments and hard times, last year of ill health and of better times in the past.
This year has been awful, let’s face it, aside from the arrival of my gorgeous baby there’s not been much good to report on any front whether it be health, financial or work. Even blogging became tedious as each time I sat down to write I thought of how awful and boring my troubles are and often didn’t bother posting so not to be a bore.
No resolutions only one goal and that is to be the best person that I can be in all that I set out to do.
How have you found 2011 and what are your goals for 2012?
Happy New Year to all from the Piglet Household

Happy New Year fellow Piglet!
I do hope 2012 is a much better year for you and your family Piglet.
Of course you weren’t boring! You were being straight!
Best wishes for a much better year ahead for you and your family.
Enjoy Baby Piglet…..and keep posting the photographs.
I think we often set such huge expectation out for what we want a year to be that really in the end it can only be a disappointment. I don’t think 2012 can be any worse for you though. You are never a bore, so no worries on that end. Wishing you and your family a very happy New Year!
Hate to hear that you share my feelings on 2011 but I like your goal. I’m going to strive to do the same — be a good person, love the people in my life, and look towards the future. Happy New Year! xx
Life is a roller coaster full of lows and highs. They say you have to have the lows to appreciate the highs. So I think you are in for a far better year Piglet.
Keep smiling and taking the tablets, and if all else fails, give that little bundle of joy baby Piglet a hug.
I quit making resolutions a long time ago, when I just made myself feel like crap for not keeping them .. or worse, forgetting them !
Now I just think to myself that I want this year to be better than the last and sort of keep that in mind.
Your year will be better, it has to be ! lol .. you have your new home and new baby and a husband you love. You have all that counts.
Feliz Año Nuevo, besitos, Candice
Wishing you a very happy 2012, Piglet! Absolutely loved the photo of baby piglet in your last post, you must be one very proud maman….
Happy New Year and a bit of advice from someone who has been through pretty tough times here, take every day as it comes, don’t waste time worrying as all it does is give you lines and stop you sleeping, enjoy the small things, and really, really enjoy baby piglet for she’s at the most wonderful, enchanting age.
Happy New Year to the Piglet household!
I sincerely hope that 2012 is a terrific and better year for you. I, too, am hoping that for myself and my family. I heard my own words in yours when you said that there was not much good to report on anything in your life this past year. I feel the same and I also started to feel that blogging was becoming tedious work due to the hardships facing my family. There is comfort in your words since I too understand those same feelings that often lead to depression. I wish you all the joy and happiness in this next year!
WHAT? I found you this year? We found each other!!! That counts for something?
I have my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that 2012 will be better for you and the Piglet Household … Kiss your princess from us in Provence xxx
Thank you all for your well wishes! Here’s hoping 2012 will be a good one!
@Kelleyn: thank you sweetie! You know, each time I go to blog I often think “oh no, not again, more negative stuff” I would like my blog to truly reflect life in France but last year was so pants… I guess it shows that living abroad doesn’t mean it’s all rosy hein?
@Fly: will keep up on the photos! Did you get that Santa outfit you wanted?
@Amber: fingers crossed that lots of things get sorted for you and your little boy this year, you deserve a break too!
@Steve: thanks! The lows have certainly made me appreciate everything else that’s for sure!
@Candice: I like that! no more resolutions! xxx
@Victoria: sound advice there, something I will try and abide to for sure, thank you!
@ashley: I can certainly relate that these feelings and all these negatives can lead to depression. I hope that 2012 brings you every thing you want and that your house problems will magically disappear and that the rest of the renovations will run smoothly for you
@MummyinProvence: OF COURSE!!! You were a tremendous help over this last year and I would have struggled if you weren’t there! I am sorry if I became tedious work and I hope that in 2012 our friendship will go from strength to strength and that we will be able to share many happy times! xxx
