Last week, Galit and I were excited to announce that Memories Captured is now a monthly link up, with monthly sponsors handing out goodies. To say we are ecstatic would be an understatement.
We want you to capture a moment or a someone that you love in words and photos and share them with us. It’s as simple as that. You capture, we swoon. Choose any format that speaks to you and capture away.
Here is mine and I chose to share my resolutions for the year. Wish me luck in sticking with them!
Your turn!

// ]]>The linky will be open January 16 through January 20.
We're partnering with the fabulous Picnik and they will generously give TWO linkers each, a 6- month premium subscription to their awesome service! The winners will be picked via random.org and announced Friday evening, the 20th.
(If the button doesn't appear to work, make sure you check the quotation marks. There may be additional curly quotation marks, which you need to remove.)

Hooray, Alison!
So excited to kick off January with you!
And oh my- stunning doesn’t even begin to describe what you created up there! Love!
Likewise, friend, likewise!
Your picture is captivating Alison! Maybe it is because I just got home from a weekend near the water–where I was reminded of how much I love being able to see water morning,noon, and night. And the pedicure once a month….ooh, now that sounds decadent!

Oh, monthly pedicures, yes please!
(the picture was taken in Boracay, an island in the Philippipnes, gorgeous isn’t it?)
That is really, really cool. I love your resolutions. They’re all great, especially the one about trying something new once a month. What kinds of things are you thinking about? And will you blog about them?
I took a long shower this morning and it was heavenly.
Robin @ Farewell, Stranger ‘s last awesome post..Toddler is My Co-Pilot
I don’t yet what I’ll try, but there will probably be some cooking/ baking involved and if they turn out well, then yes, I’ll blog them!!
I like your resolutions. The one think is most important and it’s actually the one I try to do myself every day is ‘smiling’. The day is much easier with a smile.
Karin @Mommy’s Paradise ‘s last awesome post..Chasing the Mommy (Memories Captured)
To start the day with a smile, I think, will make a difference to the day
This is beautiful Alison! I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions because there is no better way to set myself up for failure…but you have inspired me to give a few of them a go.
Thank you! I decided to do resolutions that I KNOW I can probably stick to, and keep ‘em simple. That way, I’m not setting myself up for failure
What a beautiful way to capture your resolutions! That can go in a frame to remind you throughout the year. I think I may need to borrow your take more photos with your kids. I’m always behind the camera. I need to get more comfortable being in front of it. Thanks so much for this. It was a blast last time. I can’t wait to see what everyone links up!
Kristen ‘s last awesome post..Once Upon A Time…
Thanks for playing Kristen! And yes, I should print this out and get it framed, as a constant reminder
I’m just curious, is ‘do yoga’ on there so you have an excuse to include ‘bake more’?

Glad you like Picnik!! And thank you for linking up.
I think you will nail all those resolutions. There is nothing there that seeks to punish or deprive you. Instead, you have chosen joyful, uplifting goals that will be a pleasure to fulfill. Smart little lady!
How did I miss baby on the way? Congratulations! Due date please, fellow pregnant one.
Angie@TheLittleMumma ‘s last awesome post..A camera where my memory should be…
I did choose uplifting resolutions on purpose, better chance of sticking with them, yes?
And I’m due May 9! Congratulations to you on #3!
I love your resolutions Alison!
Do you know that I have already read 3 books this year, very thick ones too.. (yay!)
I’ll be back to link up, my post is ready to be published..so excited!

Leighann ‘s last awesome post..Peanut Free.. What does that Mean for You?
Thanks Leighann, I sure hope I can stick to them
What a beautiful photo! And your resolutions are all fantastic, too. I love that a goal is to take a long shower once a week. It’s the little things in a mom’s world, huh?!
Mrs. Weber ‘s last awesome post..Baby in the Mirror
It is ABSOLUTELY the little things
Love, love, love this! I am so glad that this is going to be monthly! I can’t wait to link-up!
Jayme ‘s last awesome post..Snap, Crackle, Pop – There Goes The Microwave
Love that you love it! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got Jayme!
I would have thought “produce another human being” is enough of a resolution.
But I suppose you don’t have much choice in that matter.
So in that case, good lucky with that long shower.
julie gardner ‘s last awesome post..Today call me inspired
See, I’m not THAT ambitious – ONE long shower a week is doable, right?
What a great idea! I wish you good luck with your resolutions! xo

I’m thinking about trying running for the first time in my life though.

Stasha ‘s last awesome post..My Newfie
Thanks Stasha! I took that in 2008 while on holiday in Boracay, Philippines. SOOC too!
I love your pic/resolutions!
I am so on board with the long shower – without a preschooler banging on the door because his hot wheels/dog/flashlight/toast needs a shower too.
Tracy @ Scribblesaurus Me ‘s last awesome post..Comment Battle – Crazy Style
Thanks Tracy! I have given up showering alone. Seriously.
Beautiful pictures and such great resolutions!

Runnermom-jen ‘s last awesome post..Finding the Joy
Oh, I sure hope so! (I have a marathon to run in 2013 so I HAVE to start training as soon as I can!)
As I sit and watch the snow fall down out my window how I long for the water and beach days.
Love the resolutions. Espcially the long shower – is there anything more heavenly for a mom!
I think not! Aside from readily available cookies and a lot of blogging time
