Workin' It Wednesday || New Year's Goals

Oh I just love linking up with some of my favorite bloggers, don't y'all?

Today I'm linking up with Shay and Erika in their new Workin' It Wednesday Series! 

If your missing linking up with them today, don't worry there is always next month.

Here is the schedule for the upcoming year! 

So let's jump into the post shall we...

New Year's Goals!

Okay so typically in the years past I would write down my goals for the year.

Start off really strong like I'm sure we all do, then I would fizzle out around summer....

and honestly by the end of the year I have forgotten what my goals were. 

It's always so depressing and sad for me. 

So this year I'm changing things up. 

I'm ONLY doing a word this year. 

Every year I pick a word, to help me focus in on things for that year. 

This year my word is CONTENTMENT!

Knowing the struggle I have had living in my late mother's house, I feel like this word is perfect for 2017. To continue not only loving living in this home, but being truly content here and with the way our homes look. 

Now if I were going to come up with 5 goals they would probably be something like this...

1. Slow down and take the little years in!

2. Camping and Hiking as a Family! 

3. Learn calligraphy.

4. Take more photos with my camera and not my iPhone! 

5. Play, Play, and Play more with the girls.

Do you keep with your New Year's Goals or do you seem to fizzle out on them mid-year like me?

Have you ever picked a word for the year to focus on and improve in? 

Welcome Back!

Oh friends how I have missed this little space with you. 

I feel like it has been forever since I have been hear sharing little tidbits about our lives and how I'm learning to love this home of ours. 

I can say one of my goals for this year is definitely posting more on this space, I know that I truly enjoying sharing things with y'all and our family that live out of town. I hope that y'all enjoy it just as much as I do. :) 

For those that don't know, for the past 3-4 months we have been sharing 1 laptop between David and I. I know what you're thinking, how in the world are we still married right. HA!

It's been a struggle I'm not going to lie, however we finally broke down and bought another laptop. 

All the Praise Hand Emoji's Right!!!

Between businesses, a husband going back to school, and blogging, we definitely needed to break down and buy another laptop. 

I'm excited to have you share our home journey with us this year. 

I have some big plans for 2017, with one of them being a new couch for our basement! YAY!

Plus I have missed blogging on a few moments from our family from 2016, so Catch Up Thursday is back. Be a mix of back log post and catching up with what we are doing now. 

So make sure you stop by back. 

Thanks for sharing so many moments with us last year in 2016.

I'm thrilled that you're sticking around for 2017, lets be honest I'm going to need your advice and opinions on some home decor, paint colors, clothing styles, and I'm sure parenting... (like we are having our girls are now sharing a room now).
