I'm not sure what the weather is like where you are, but here it poured all night. We woke up to one of our trees slumped over all the way to the ground. Thankfully it's still rooted and intact. Randy said it's just saturated with water. And the rain didn't help with dropping Rory off this morning, it was insane. The line went out of the school parking lot, down the street and was stopped on the main cross street. So I've decided that I'm staying in and I'm sharing our New Year's Eve, along with some of my goals for this year.
New Year's Eve was pretty low key for us (just the way we like it!). Our dogs don't do well with fireworks, so I don't like to leave them home alone when I know there will be sounds of pops and booms all evening. So if Maggie insists on being glued to my lap, I'm going to have a little fun with her and Insta-stories' NYE filters. HAHA!
Maggie may not have been thrilled, but the kiddos loved it!
Chicken pot pies and cheesy mashed potatoes for our last dinner of 2017! Yum Yum!
Yup the pups hiding under a blanket, snuggled together.
Sparkling apple cider to ring in the new year!
Happy New Year!!!
So with every new year, this year brings a feeling of renewal and focus. The main aspect of my life I want to concentrate on this year is my health. And I mean really focus on taking care of myself. As a mom, like many moms, I've spent many years sleep deprived and stressed. And unfortunately, this has caught up with me and has been reeking havoc on my body for the last couple of years. I've decided that enough is enough and I've started implanting a daily regiment that is geared to helping my body heal from years of destructive sleep (and eating) habits. And although I know eating clean would help immensely, I also know that it will take time for me to adjust to that type of meal plan. So I'm starting with baby steps: for now I've just decided to cook more and eat out less, and to drink more water. For me dehydration is just as damaging to my body as sleep deprivation, so I need to make a conscience effort to reach my daily water goal of 70-80 oz.
I have a lot to be thankful for and so many blessing in my life that I want to mindful of them and present to enjoy them.
And with that I wish you a very happy and healthy 2018!!! I can't wait to see what it brings!
