2017 Resolutions

Happy 2017

Tomorrow I will be here with a 2016 Re-cap because it was a big, crazy, blessed, hectic, learning curve kind of year. 

But today I have my resolutions for you. Some are silly, some are fun, some are just for me. So here we go.



-One-
Laundry.
Yup my resolution is to do one load a day from start to finish. And to not start another load until the previous one is complete that means put away and everything. We have more laundry now than ever (adding two babies at once will do that to you) and well it's just madness. Last year I went out and bought two more laundry baskets just because all of the other ones were full of clean folded laundry. Well not in 2017. 


-Two-
Read the One Year Bible. I bought this in October and decided that I wanted to do this with my husband. I just got us notebooks and we will be doing this as a Bible study every night together and reading through the Bible together and I'm so excited. We have decided that sometimes it might be at separate times but that at least once a week we will get together and share our take away. 2017 is going to be a big year for our relationship with God I can just feel it. 


-Three-
Alone time. Michael and I are often clutched on and talked to too much, 24/7 (unless we are asleep and even then I dream that my kids are chatting at me ha!) so we have decided that every other day each of us will get 30 minutes to ourselves. To do whatever we want. I plan to work out and work on my oils and Michael wants to play guitar and shoot some rounds out back. We need this so we don't get burned out (which has been happening). 


-Four-
Date more. I need to date my husband more and Grayson more. Grayson is a good boy and has really adjusted so well to Marshall and Charlotte however he needs some one on one time with Michael and I. So my goal is now one date night a month with Grayson and Michael. Also Michael and I need a date night too so we are shooting for once every other month. This will change soon because the babies are on the cusp of being a little bit easier but right now it's still a marathon getting through power hour.

-Five-
Debt. 2016 was not a good year for our debt. We are cracking down on this and will be making some huge adjustments to get us to our goal

-Six-
Take a step out of my comfort zone and really share my heart here about oils. I'm telling you these oils have changed my life and so I really need to be sharing that. I'm going to be doing at least one post a month and just hoping I can help even one person. 


Happy 2017. Cheers to it being a crazy good year. I can just feel it!

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
