Thoughts On A New Year + An Oversized Cardigan

Happy New Year! I love the fresh start that a new year brings. 2016 was an amazing year, as it was my first full year being a mom! The challenges, the laughs, the tears are all part of the history books now. I feel like a grew last year more than any other year. Motherhood had something to do with that, I think! 🙂

2017 is bright and wide open. I have been pondering today about what MY word should be for this year. In the years past, I haven’t chosen one word that I want to be a part of my year, but after seeing this go around my Facebook news feed, it got me thinking. Intentional. That is the word that is speaking to my heart this year.

Intentional means something that is done in a way that is planned. Last year, it took me a while to hit my stride as far as juggling working, blogging and doing the whole mom and wife thing. I still have room to improve most definitely, but have learned that I need to do a better job planning out my time. Today, that is my goal. I want to write myself out a schedule. I want to schedule my blog time, social media time, George time, exercise/me time, husband time, and most importantly my time with God. I want each second to count this year and not waste as much time. Living intentionally is my goal! Later this week, I will be sharing my goals. For me, this is the first step of intentional living – write them down and map out how to get there!

I would love to hear if you have a word this year or some a your goals. I feel if we put them out there, we have to be accountable to them! As scary as it can be for me, it will make me accomplish them hopefully! Thanks for following along and I really hope 2017 is your best year yet!
