Hi all!
We had such a wonderful holiday in our new home with a feeling of gratefulness like no other time. We may have had so much change (switched Zoe to homeschool because of the rise of Covid cases, not seeing family, no travel, house not finished being painted or hosting friends like we had wished) but we were with our mom’s, my sis and even my bonus daughter joined us. Most of all we were together as a family, creating a new set of memories.
Our month of acts of kindness was INCREDIBLE, we baked for neighbors, brought treats to Zoe’s teachers at school, adopted 4 families that we made Christmas magical for, delivered to the food pantry two times, paid for coffees in the drive thru, baked for Ami’s favorite garbage guy (she is obsessed with the truck!) and so many other small moments that honestly filled my heart, and best of all had the girls so excited. We teach not by talking but by doing and setting an example. I just know how hard the holidays were for my mom, a single mom and O’s parents some years with little money, so being able to give back with our girls is everything. We have promised to continue with acts of kindness every month, I will be sharing more on that later!
I am thinking of rounding up the gifts that were favorites for all of us, a post on my 2022 goals (and our family goals), homeschool curriculum and how we are approaching it plus so much more on that in the New Year. Maybe I’ll do goals first, since I am working on putting them on paper... Do you write out yearly goals? I find them so much more approachable than resolutions and a great task to do as a family. I like to write out big goals and then brainstorm on how we can achieve them by creating smaller goals for every month. It’s so fun to not only look back at them but to also hear what ur ladies consider goals!
Some of you may know I am taking a break on Instagram until the middle of January (more on that later) but I will keep posting here, and continue planning for this new chapter of the blog. I have also been posting on LTK since there are some great sales and we are shopping for home and organizing stuff. It’s nice to set intentional ATTENTION to things I want to make a priority and maybe it will stick…
I am wishing you all the best of the best and many more blessings. Thank you for being here and stay tuned for some NY goals!
