Okay, chugging along here.... To recap, so far we've covered Personal (#1-5), Health/Fitness (#6-10), Kids/Family (#11-15) and now: Household goals (#16-20)! 1. Implement a standard grocery shopping time. Let me explain. I've touched on this in previous posts, but meal planning and groceries are not really my forte. Historically, we're pretty loosey goosey in this… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Household
TGIF, ya'll.... this was my first full week of work in a bit due to the holidays/vacation days, and let's just say, it came to PLAY. 😳 But I want to keep going in my goals series! The 3rd domain is next: Kids/Family. 1. Spend a minimum of 1x/ week quality time with each of… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Kids/Family
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
Okay, I'm back with my Personal goals. I aimed to come up with 5 for each domain to hopefully total 25. (As a reminder, my domains are Personal, Health/Fitness, Kids/Family, Household, and Other). 1. Read 25 for 25 This came to me when I saw "Read 25 minutes in 2025" is Gretchen Rubin's public challenge… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Personal
New Year's Eve: We're officially into the new year now. The kids are still off today, but return to school Monday. Then the holiday season will officially be over. Our New Year's Eve was nice. Nothing extravagant, but nice. We both worked (though Ivan got done by 3). I worked a bit later, but then… Continue reading NYE + 2025 Goals Series Overview
Our Year: 2024 January Rang in the new year in Mexico! Hiked the Toluca Volcano and met our baby niece. Started a new lifting program! (Momentum by Sohee). Worked on pull-ups (still terrible at them). Dabbled in running...? (quit). Lots of work changes. Helped boys plan high school courses! Bathroom remodel continues. Watched a lot… Continue reading 2024 Rapid-Fire Year in Review
Hello!! I'm back. As has been the case multiple times this year, I did not exactly intend to take a long(ish) blog break, but, I did. The last couple of days before Christmas got really busy, and then it was a whirlwind of having a very full house, holiday fun, etc. I will also admit… Continue reading Blog break over + Christmas 2024
I'm officially on my little "Christmas break!" YAY! It's nothing too much, really. Well, 5 days, I guess. I'm off today through the 25th. I just work Thursday and Friday next week. The following week I have off Monday the 30th and January 1st, so I only work 3 days that week (and NYE will… Continue reading Snowy Saturday before Christmas + goals contemplation
Wow, I last posted on 12/10 (and sorry, I never responded to everyone's great and very helpful comments about my gift buying process dilemma! I read every single one and am appreciative of the great ideas from all!). This week has been BUSY!!! 'Tis the season, right? So what have I been doing instead of… Continue reading Busy busy… why I was MIA for 8 days
A quick mini-rant about gift buying: I have heard recently in multiple places about people who have "carved out a couple hours and sat down to buy all their gifts", most recently on The Lazy Genius podcast yesterday. Just go on and get that pesky little task checked right off the list! This idea sounds....… Continue reading Gift buying mini-rant and other recent misc.
