Loving: the bullet journal that I made. I love how it is coming together and I am loving the layouts that I have created. I am also loving the planner inserts that have made, they are so functional for me.

Working: I just started designing a meal planner. I cannot wait to see how it turns out! I'm so excited for this new project. I am also working on a weekly planner insert that I am excited about.

Listening: to the TV 

Buying: nothing at the moment

Planning: I have all of my posts planned for March already. I just have to write and schedule them. I am working on setting up some deadlines for my meal planner. I am also working with my husband on designing a new website. I am also working on some planner inserts. This should keep me busy for a while!

I'm also planning my daughter's birthday party. She wants a Descendants theme, so I am trying to think of some ideas for her cake, the decorations, and some party games.

Wondering: can I pull it off? How will I pull it off?

Feeling: tired, but happy, always.

Happy Homemaker Monday {2/19/2018}

Good afternoon Friends, hope everyone had a great weekend.

Ours was fairly quiet. We stayed at home and I cleaned the house and caught up on the laundry. My oldest didn't have school last Friday so she had a three day weekend which unfortunately turned into a 4 day weekend. We found out this morning that she has an ear infection and is now on meds for it. The good news is that she is feeling better this evening and should be going back to school tomorrow.

Anyways, let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday! Shall we?

February 2018 Goals

Happy February Lovelies!

It's hard to believe that we are one week into February, where did January go? February is also my birthday month. Actually, my birthday is tomorrow and it means that I am getting old. I will be 45, yeah I'm getting old. Anyways, before I crawl under the covers and hide I think it's time to talk about how I did with my January goals.

 

In January I wanted to....

Read at least 2 books. I started Under the Dome, which is over 1,000 pages long.
Practice Yoga 2 times a week. Started this and will continue
Work on Instagram growth. Did not, but need to.
Have blog posts written through the month of February. Almost done.
Start planning A's birthday party. Yes, Working on invitations.
Have two at home date nights with the Husband. We have had a couple.
Drink more water. Yes.
Track my food daily using My Fitness Pal. Did it.
Walk at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. Did it.
Eat healthier (more fruits and veggies). Yes.

I did accomplish most of my goals for January.

In February I want to...

Work on Instagram growth
Get my Sprng editorial calendar started
Focus more on yoga
Begin mediation every morning before the kids wake up
Continue to up my water intake

What are your goals for February?

The Flu Has Invaded My House

Yes, you heard right! My oldest had it last week and now my youngest is at the tail end of it. It's been a rough two weeks, but we survived.

I haven't slept much, but I made it through. Their symptoms were never that bad, just tired, sore throats, a little bit of a fever that only last one day, coughs and runny noses. That's it. They did get the flu shot so I think that helped in making the symptoms not so severe.

Right now, I am steaming and sanitizing everything so they don't get it again. So, that's where I have been for the last week. Today, I will be going back to my regular posting schedule and I will have another post up tonight about my goals for February, so be on the look out for that.

Have a great day! See ya soon!
