2021: To- Do List

Happy Monday!  This is my first time joining this great group of bloggers for their link up.  

I am not a resolutions girl but I do have some things that I want to accomplish/work on this year.  I love a to-do list so I hope this helps me cross off items throughout the year. It feels so satisfying when something gets done, right? 


Here is my to-do list for 2021!  It is a mix of personal, self-care, and a little home. 

ORGANIZE 

Kitchen cabinets 

Pantry

Master bedroom

Master closet

Kid’s closet

Toy closet

I have learned that things need to have a place or else it will end up everywhere.  I am working on finding bins, baskets, and other organizational items that will help us stay organized. This will take time but I am eager to get started. 

USE TIME MORE WISELY

Not waste time on FB 

Clean up when I can

Read a book 

I really need to work on this!  I have been going to bed earlier and not getting lost on FB until 1 AM.  I need to work on this during the day because I tend to grab my phone a lot. 

DON'T LOSE CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE

Send a text

Send a note 

Porch drop offs 

Since the pandemic, I feel like we have really, really lost touch with friends and even family.  Just keeping to ourselves because we want to stay safe but I think we can still reach out to our people in some way. 

READ A DAILY DEVOTION

Buy Midnight Mom Devotional 

I read Jesus Calling which I love but I think I need   something geared to mom life.  It is just a different season and I need that encouragement. 

GET HEALTHIER

Increase vitamins (D & B12)

Add collagen 

Better skin care regimen

Drink more water 

Try to be active everyday

Lose the baby and COVID weight

I have a BIG birthday this year and I really need to start taking better care of myself.  The extra vitamins and finding a better skin regimen will be easy.  It’s the losing weight that will be a little harder 😬

 BLOGGING 

Try to blog more consistently 

Join more link ups 

Learn a little more about the ins and outs of blogging

I started blogging for fun and something just for me. It has been fun so far but there is a still more to learn.

LAUNDRY ROOM MAKEOVER 

New rug

New light fixture

Possibly paint shelves or get new ones 

Add shiplap🤞🏼

Our laundry room has been the same since the day we moved in. It’s probably a room most people don’t care about but a little change would be nice. I have something in mind but just need to execute it.  We redid our powder room over the summer on a very small budget which drastically changed the look. I hope to do the same with our laundry room.  Just give it a little oomph ;) 

I'll probably start with the easier and fun ones like the laundry room makeover but at least something will get crossed off the list. Taking it one day at a time and improving myself, my family, and my home. 

What are you working on for 2021? Let's cheer each other on!

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Image
Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
