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.

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
