This New Year


With the start of this new year I wanted to get motivated to start blogging regularly again. 
I've been blogging for 3.5 years now but I've always been a lazy blogger. I'll have months where I will post almost every day and then I'll have a month or two where I don't even think about it. I feel like blogging is so important in my life though. It's hard for me to keep written record of things, so this place is where I can look back on my kids growing up.With this new year I want to stay current with keeping up with our family's adventures - even just the little daily things. I want to remember and share the things that inspire me in this time of my life. I want to remember who I was when I was twenty two years old. 

With this new year I have so many things that I want to accomplish and many things I want to work on as a wife and as a mother but also for myself. I want to practice patience and kindness with everyone I interact with. I want to give my husband and my children all of myself - I want to be present in these short, precious moments. I want to travel, even if it's close by. I want to create and learn and push myself to be the best that I can be. I want to love unconditionally and have no fear of doing the things I love. 

My theme for this new year is life. I want to breathe in the everyday and live fully even in the smallest moments. I don't want to hold back. I want my children to be free and to enjoy this beautiful, fleeting life.  



I know I'm a little late, but what are your hopes and goals for this new year?

  2. Oh my gosh, look at how big they've gotten!!! I understand completely how you feel about giving ALL of yourself to your family. One thing I've done is I moved our desktop computer to a separate room. I found myself getting so focused on the random passings on the internet that I was seeing my son climbing on me or asking me to hold him as a distraction to what I was looking at - when really the internet is the distraction! It made me so sad to realize that's what I was doing and I'm so glad I was able to see it and fix it.

    1. Michaela, that is such a great idea! I struggle with the same thing. I have my laptop on the island in our kitchen always, and my iPad is also really easily distracting. That's a great idea to just keep them in a separate room! xoxo
