It has been a few weeks since I have posted goals. I have tried to limit my screen time a little bit the last few weeks. Ok, I am sure I have still spent way too much time online, but I tried!

We got out first snowfall that accumulated today! I have enjoyed watching the snow and the fire today. Some days are just made for being a hermit. Today is one of those days! I won't say it too loudly, but we have been listening to Christmas music as well today!

This precious little girl and I are going to work on trying to take longer than 40 minute naps this week. Would love if you have any tips.

I spent some time in my spare bedroom this last week. There is still a long ways to go, but I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is one area that looks so much better. Will still take some time to get things done, but I feel like I will be able to accomplish a decent finished project.

Our week this week is gonna be a little more hectic. I am not going to have a long list of goals because I know I won't have a whole lot of time to get them done. Gotta make sure when we aren't running, that I am enjoying time with my husband and my little one!

I was thinking about my goals that I wanted to do this next week. I really wanted to not put down the getting rid of 10 things from my spare bedroom.
