2017 {Make Today Delightful + My Old Standby}

I’m not one to really make new year’s resolutions.  I think when I was younger it was because they were all impossible and promptly forgotten within a few days.  In reality, things are good here – we’re happy, healthy, blessed.  So, in 2017, I want to keep on keeping on, making every day delightful.  It doesn’t have to cost a penny, doesn’t require cutting out all of my favorite foods, and doesn’t necessitate any crazy exercise regimens.  (all things I’ve failed miserably at in the past)

 

In addition to that, as a family we remain inspired by our favorite hymn, and will continue this journey for the third year running.  You can download the free printable here:   Change the World

We live this through the year with being intentional about looking for ways to spread kindness.  For the littles’ sake, we visibly record the impact with things like paper chains and journals.  I think it helps them understand how one little family CAN put their footprint on the world.

On a more tactical level, 2017 should bring the completion of my 40×41 bucket list (I’m running out of time!), the start of middle school for John, many more travels to Disney and beyond, and (fingers crossed) a possible master bath reno.

So, with that, I invite you to join me on either (or both!) of these journeys.  I would also love to hear your plans for the year ahead!!

Happy New Year!

All I Want for Christmas is You… In Disney

I’m tying up all the Christmas loose ends over here in the waning days of 2016.  Y’all know how I love doing these video trip reports.  Here’s a quick one of our annual December long weekend between the boys’ birthdays… The music is by Straight No Chaser and is my new FAVE for Christmas music.… Read More
