It’s that time of year again!!! Have you thought about your resolutions? I know some people don’t like the idea of resolutions, but for me, it’s nice to make a goal and to actually have it written down, so I’ll always be a resolution girl! Here are mine for the new year!

+ read 6 books a year: this has always been a goal for me, sometimes I even top it by quite a bit!

+ get our new house together!!! We moved the week before Thanksgiving (November 2023) and are still in boxes. Now that the holidays are over, I’m excited to be fully devoted to getting our house fully put together.

+ continue on my self growth journey : I’ve read a lot of books about reflecting and making intentional choices with who you give your time and energy too, how you maintain good boundaries and ultimately, how you protect YOUR peace. I leaned into that hard the end of 2023, and it’s something I’m going to take with me into 2024.

+ be INTENTIONAL : this is my word for 2024. Intentional with everything. Life is too short not to control your happiness and what you do to create and give happiness to those you love. For me, this means staying off my phone when I’m with friends or at an event to really soak in those moments without any distractions and choosing to do things that I actually want to do rather than feel obligated to do. This is going to be big especially when we welcome our new little babe into the world and are in the newborn bubble once again!

+ show up and cherish friendships : I want to continue to fill the cups of those I love. And to continue to be a good support person for those who need me.

+ plan one last vacation as a family of 3!

+ throw a fun baby shower!!! I had a drive-by baby shower with Avery thanks to COVID, I’m excited to actually have something of a shower this go around and can’t wait to start planning okay let’s be honest, I’ve already got a theme and Pinterest board going, oops.

Here’s to a healthy and happy 2024!
