Goals for 2021



I've really been enjoying these nice, leisurely mornings yesterday and today, and I still have one more before going back to work.


Yesterday we took down all the Christmas stuff and today we are going to work on re-hanging a bunch of pictures that still haven't been put back up since the painting was done.

But now, time for some goals for the year.

1.  Lose weight.  I'm still trying to decide if I want to give KETO another try or just focus on eating mostly healthy.  This time last year I started KETO and it went really well for 2 months.  I lost 17.4 but then the girls' birthday weekend threw me off, followed by working from home and I never recovered.

2.  I mentioned this yesterday, but read most of the Bible (and finish in 2022).  I've always wanted to do that "Read the Bible in a Year" thing, but I know I realistically won't be able to keep up all year, so if I can read maybe 3/4 and then finish in 2022 I'm good with that.  I downloaded an app, I think it's just called "Bible in a Year" and it includes commentary and a prayer each day.  And today's had a theme, New Year's Resolutions/Fresh Start/News Beginnings, so the verses were relevant to that (so it jumps around, you don't just start in Genesis and read straight through to Revelations, although today's did include the first chapter of Genesis).

3.  Start hiking more.  Olivia won't hike with us and is just now getting to the point where she's ok with being home alone for long enough for Paul and I to hike without her so I'm hoping this will be the year I can finally start hiking more.

4.  Read more. My reading really took a dive last year thanks to my addiction to a few different mobile games (Township and Match 3D).  So this year I want to ramp that up.

5.  Blog more.  Last year was my worst blogging year yet.  I only posted 15 times all year.  I'm going to try and post that much in January alone.  

Other than that, I have some fun day trips I'd like to do, and I'm really hoping we can make it to Branson, MO and Hawaii this summer like we were supposed to last year.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
