Top Five New Years resolutions

-

 Hello!


So we don’t really do formal/committed resolutions anymore, but it’s fun to think about all the little things that we want to do throughout the year so these are some fun/small/simple ideas. 🙂

  1. Drink a glass of water before every cup of coffee… I know my skin with thank me for this though it might require bladder training. 😂
  2. Floss every night before bed… my dentist would be proud! 
  3. Do one “no spend week” a month where only food groceries are purchased.
  4. Send a letter/card to someone on our Christmas card list once a month.
  5. No rearranging decorations/furniture (outside of perishable stuff… I’m looking at you pumpkins) for three months after putting it up. 😳 this will be my hardest yet I think as I love to rearrange everything every time Grant goes away and he’s going to travel quite a bit in the next few months. 

I want to put in silly fun things like learn to do a front handspring or actually dive into the pool once a month or dance in the kitchen while making dinner at least once a week… actually that last one is good we might do that, but I’m struggling to write them down as I feel as though I’m forcing a list rather than doing stuff I actually want to do. The card one will be a stretch for me as well, as I’m a hardcore introvert, though maybe just send them to my friends Nicole and Wella who would understand, I don’t get to talk to as often as I’d like, and they’re just beyond awesome people. 

Hmm, lots to contemplate!

💛 Jessie

Hello, I’m going to try to keep up with this concept/challenge/link-up (seriously I need to figure out how to do that properly) from Mixandmatcama.com and alittlebitofeverythingblog.com for this year. It’s a once a month post about different things in each persons life and I love reading it on their blogs so it might be fun to look back on later in life about my own life. 🙂 I already shared my “resolutions” which are essentially these goals but here’s a recap a couple of weeks in of what is actually going to happen… I think. 1. Mailing a letter or card once a month to a friend I don’t talk to regularly. I still love this concept and it’s fun to try to keep connected with a couple of my sweet friends in a way that feels more personal but still doesn’t add too much to an already busy schedule. This will be the last week of the month and I can easily grab a card from the zoo or Trader Joe’s or just write a letter and it’ll still be fun. 2. Family Bible time. Originally I thought a nightl...

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun...
